Exploring the science of superheroes with Dr Barry Fitzgerald. What science did Tony Stark need to develop the incredible Iron Man suit? What is the science behind Sue S torm’s power of invisibility? The answers to these and many more superpower-related questions can be found right here in Secrets of Superhero Science.

Dr Barry W. Fitzgerald takes you on a captivating journey through the science behind the superpowers of some of your favourite superheroes. You’ll learn about genetically engineering the X-Men, discover why Hawkeye’s eyesight is so advanced and learn about the science behind producing spider silk just like Spider-Man. Find out about the comic book origins of the superheroes, their amazing films and what future adventures may await them!
