Can Radiation Give You Superpowers?

Episode 38
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. We explain the original way the Fantastic Four got their power – radiation – with help from SciPop.
