Science of Superheroes! Dr. James Kakalios

It's Wednesday, which means all the new comic books will be making their way into the hands of happy fans everywhere; but did you ever wonder about the science of Superheroes? How much brain damage should Batman have sustained by now anyway? How much energy is Tony Stark producing in that arc reactor? How strong is Spider Man's webbing?

Dr. James Kakalios is a Physics Professor and author of the Physics of Superheroes. I met him at the USA Science and Engineering Festival where he took some time out of his busy schedule to talk to me about his favorite heroes, the newest Iron Man vs Magneto fight in Avengers vs X-Men, his consulting work on the Amazing Spider-Man movie coming out in July and generally nerded out with me about comic books. Enjoy!
