Has anyone read this book? It's pretty good. It's a non-fiction account on if superheroes were real. I read it in September and it was one of the best things I had read all year, and that's saying something. According to the book, X-Men can be real (although unique powers are a bit of a stretch), Batman can be real, while characters like Superman and Spiderman are near impossible. Some aspects of them are possible, but flying and super strength is strange. Here's the official link, if anyone is interested -

There is also a "sequel" titled "The Science of Super villains". I have yet to read this one, but they said that they will be covering villains like Mr. Freeze and Dr. Doom. I'm definitely going to read into this one! :D
