Synopsis "This middle-grade nonfiction book uses superheroes to explore how science is transforming our bodies and our experiences. [This book] . . . breaks down how superhero traits have been reflected in technological innovations throughout history, and how they could appear in the future. Jetpacks and rocket belts can help us fly like Superman. Prosthetic limbs and lab-grown human tissue mirror the regenerative powers of Wolverine and Ms. Marvel. But readers are also invited to think critically about these incredible, and sometimes controversial, advancements—after all, with great power comes great responsibility"—Publisher.
