Can Radiation Give You Superpowers?

This week Reactions is looking at some superhero science and chemistry. The Thing, Human Torch, Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic are back this summer! In the new reboot, the team gets its powers while in an alternate dimension. Here at Reactions, though, we stick to comic book canon. In this week’s video, we explain the original way the Fantastic Four got their power – radiation – with help from SciPop Talks.

Special thanks to the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Special Grant Program in the Chemical Sciences for funding this episode.
