Re: Comic books as classroom resource

You could become Mosquito Woman M/W.
You could fly.
You could disable villians by some sort of buzzing sound.
You could drain the blood out of villains.

According to the comic book, Peter Parker got his
spider-like "powers" by being bitten by a radioactive
spider. I've done a similar experiment, which I have yet to
publish. In the 1980's I spent a lot of time working in
underground Fermilab beam tunnels which, besides being
slightly radioactive, are ideal habitats for some forms of
wildlife. I can tell you this for a fact: The superhero
thing doesn't work with mosquitoes. Sorry...

Snoopy is WRONG??? I'm devastated! I imagine
that many other Snoopy fans are equally devastated
to learn this also.

But Herb you still have Spiderman in New York.
