    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the relationship between extreme science and fiction. A radioactive spider bites chemistry student Peter Parker and he becomes the Amazing Spider-Man. Just as in the comics, real scientific mavericks may begin their work when an unusual event (even an accident) occurs that puts them in great peril. So one might say that maverick science and comic book science both put the hero in jeopardy as the excitement unfolds. So if real science and comic book science are intertwined, they also face some of the same dilemmas. INSET: BOYS LIFT CAR!.
