The truth about superpowers . . . science fact or science fiction?

""An entertaining and informative guide to comic book wonders bound to come.""
--Julius Schwartz, Editor Emeritus, DC Comics

Superman, Batman, The X-Men, Flash, Spider Man . . . they protect us from evildoers, defend truth and justice, and, occasionally, save our planet from certain doom. Yet, how much do we understand about their powers?

In this engaging yet serious work, Lois Gresh and Robert Weinberg attempt to answer that question once and for all. From X-ray vision to psychokinesis, invisibility to lightspeed locomotion, they take a hard, scientific look at the powers possessed by all of our most revered superheroes, and a few of the lesser ones, in an attempt to sort fact from fantasy. In the process, they unearth some shocking truths that will unsettle, alarm, and even terrify all but the most fiendish of supervillains.

Lois Gresh (Rochester, NY) has written eight novels and nonfiction books as well as dozens of short stories and has been nominated for national fiction awards six times.
Robert Weinberg (Oak Forest, IL) is a multiple award-winning author of novels, nonfiction books, short stories and comics.

Booo
Color: Pink, Size: Medium
Way too big for, I'm so bummed because this knit polo long sleeve shirt is way too big, even after I checked the size guide. It's a shame because the material feels pretty nice. I was really looking forward to wearing this. I can exchange it for a smaller size and that was too big. Lol

Nice Look
Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I love this sweater and everything about it. I purchased for family Christmas photos. I was worried it wouldn't look right or would fit too big. It fitted perfectly and gave me a very casual look. The color is white and not an off white. The quality is good and the fabric durable. It's stretchy so its flexible with your body movements. I highly recommend this sweater I'd you're looking for a light casual look. I recommend pairing with some jeans and a nice pair of boots.
