[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font=arial][size=3]Was it the fall or the webbing that killed Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man's girlfriend in the classic Amazing Spider-Man #121? How does Kitty Pryde from the X-Men comics and movies use quantum mechanics to walk through walls? And who is really faster, Superman or the Flash? Join in the fun as we explore physics through comic book examples where the superheroes got their physics right! You can find Kakalios's book (I have it in my classroom -- a fun easy physics read!) at [url="http://www.amazon.com/The-Physics-Superheroes-Spectacular-Edition/dp/1592405088/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366807197&sr=8-1&keywords=physics+of+superheroes"]The Physics of Superheroes: Spectacular Second Edition[/url].[/size][/font][/color]
