Not all heroes wear capes. Some use science to figure out the secrets of being super. Some hang out with the likes of genius, entrepreneurial businessmen to teach them everything they need to know about saving the world and, of course, science.

I mean, just take a look at everyone's favorite, unsure, eight-legged pseudo-Avenger in the latest batch of Spiderman: Homecoming trailers. As he petitions Tony Stark for an Avengers membership, he proudly wears this black, 100% cotton t-shirt stating, "The physics is theoretical but the fun is real".

Yep, Peter Parker, aka "The Amazing Spider-Man," is really into science. And I mean, REALLY into science, the kind of science that's mostly speculative. Why the more speculative, theoretical sciences? Because there's real, genuine fun to be had in proving -- and perhaps creating -- previously theoretical physics.

I mean, relearning aspects of reality to create new aspects of reality is certainly insipring. Fun? Oh, yeah. Dangerous? Hmm. Maybe. The testing and application of theoretical science can sometimes result in super-people, and super-people aren't always magnanimous by nature.
