The 'Amazing Spiderman' definitely has some unique tricks and abilities, but do any of them stand up to scientific realities? We'll take a look at how some of Spiderman's main attributes could legitimately happen, while others...not so much!

    What are you referring to? Genetically, Batman is an average human. In society, a man running around with billions of dollars of toys without his identity becoming exposed is improbable.

    Retroviruses are actually able to make their RNA into DNA and insert it into the DNA of a host cell, changing the host's genetic makeup and function. Normal viruses just rely on machinery in the cell to copy their RNA, they don't change the host cell's DNA.
