MARVEL is Bringing us a Science Lesson (Blog # 50)




Tony and Bruce Bringing the Facts

. As we all know, Superheros are the modern day "greek gods" of the generation and have been giving readers fantastical and cliffhanger stories for decades as MARVEL has been around since 1939 and has taken the world by storm with the production of several successful movies all starting with the man himself, the millionaire playboy philanthropist, Tony Stark. With the release of The Avengers in 2012, MARVEL has grown in popularity and has grown to mass levels in the box office creating more and more fans by each movie. Though, enough with the introduction. We know MARVEL could create memorable characters that are relatable but also, powerful and were role models to all because of what they could do. Though, with further investigation and it no time on our hands, many of the Avengers we know have more to them than what we preserve.

Looking at Tony Stark and his Tony Snark, Tony has a brilliant mind that is able to create his Ironman suit to help protect the Earth from evil badies, making him fly and throw repulsion blasts all over the place but, when thinking of it and with the help of this video, it's actually revealed that his suit is and possibly is made of a nickel titanium alloy A,K,A "nitinol" which is much more lightweight and could actually take a lot of damage which, is what Tony would need and to add to that, his arc reactor, as we know, had to be changed back in Ironman 2 because it was slowly killing Tony because of the Palladium. He did in fact, create a new element to keep himself alive and made a new arc reactor. Seems implausible but, that is fiction as many scientists have created offspring elements and we have been doing it so to have Stark do the same, isn't as far fetched as many would think it to be.
Moving on down the line to the leader of the Avengers and the most badass female on the team, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff are two members that don't show off as much as let's say, Thor and The Hulk but for what they have, it's quite astounding.
As we know, Steve Grant Rogers was given super serum back in the 40's to make him the ultimate super soldier which turned his asthmatic, 95 pound self to a 6 foot beef cake with heightened strength, speed and even a faster healing rate. Not on Wolverine's level but still rather helpful. Natasha Romanoff, with biotechnology enhancements she's practically the same as Cap with quicker healing and a profound knowledge of fighting styles and killing methods, being an assassin and all. Though, this could be explained as well through the explanation of our white blood cells. Macrophages help with healing, simple right? Wrong, with Cap and Black Widow, there's pump out more quickly to heal there bodies much more quickly than a normal human body, Now, going to Captain America's vibranium shield, how is able to withstand a hit to it without breaking, here's a thought. When Thor hits Cap's shield, light is created before the force thrusts everyone to the ground. Through sheer force, light energy is created and then repelled back.

Let Us Analyze

. Science and MARVEL just fit well together and it all makes perfect sense on why things happen. Thinking of several heroes of even villains in the MARVEL universe, science could back up their actions or why they are, the way they are. Looking at my favorite comic book team, The X-Men, mutants are explained to have a special DNA gene called, the X-Gene that are handed down at birth through the father and not the mother and then comprehends what mutant ability that child will have. It makes sense and it's just, because.
Science could explain why thinks happen and why they are there which, is why I like and enjoy MARVEL.

  2. With no intention to question your interest in MARVEL, do you think DC has enough science to back up its characters' abilities?

    "Tony Snark"... :I

    1. There's no doubt that there is scientific ideals in the DC universe possibly taking about Superman's propulsion into flying and etc. I'm just not educated in the science behind DC but I do have a respect for it since, comic book science is the best science. And yes, ALL THE TONY SNARK.
