Spider-Man: Genetic Possibility?

Film is definitely my #1 passion, but the history channel definitely comes in at a close second. As I was watching The History Channel this morning, I came across a really interesting program called Spider-Man Tech. This focuses on putting Spider-Man's abilities to the test, using science to determine which of his abilities are fiction and which are possible. Stan Lee and Steve Ditko weigh in along with scientists. Now if you're thinking that Spider-Man's abilities are entirely fictitious, think again because splicing the genetics of a mouse and a luminescent jellyfish have created a new species of glowing mice....yeah, you heard me right.
The next showings of Spider-Man Tech will be Wednesday, June 13th at 10:00am and 4:00pm.
