In the CNN documentary Pandora’s Promise, we are told that the health risks of radiation are not nearly so bad as we’ve been led to believe, and they site statistics showing how many people were irradiated, but very few have died from nuclear power plant accidents. Oh, but what about superheroes? How come they don’t mention how many were created? We all know radiation creates superheroes, so why don’t they mention it? They went traipsing all over nuclear disaster sites and measured radiation and such, but they don’t even mention super powers or anything. But I think I know what happened here: Could it be that these guys got super powers and became superheroes, but they don’t want anyone else to know about it? I’ll bet they don’t want anyone else to have super powers so they only have to fight puny humans from now on.
(I wonder what powers they got. Apparently it’s never the same super power twice with radiation, but I’m not sure why that is. I was hoping they’d explain that, but maybe that’s for Pandora’s Promise 2: Superheroes. Filmmakers always have to save something special for the sequel.)
Hey, you don't suppose the director of Pandora's Promise made this movie just so he could cause a bunch of superheroes to be created, just so he can form his very own Justice League or Avengers-style team, do you? Maybe he made this movie to change public opinion so that more nuclear power plants would be built and their radiation leaks would create superheroes, and if so, then he could claim they owe him allegiance for being behind their creation. Hey, it could happen! It probably happens a lot more than you'd think. After all, radiation is the only sure-fire way to create super powers in humans, if comic books are to be believed.
