The National Geographic Channel had a 1-hr special about the science of superheroes...explaining from such topics as spiderman's super-strong web, superman's thrust/drag and x-ray eyes, and dr. x's mind abilities, among others which at the moment i cannot recall. I also remember them showing a special hour dedicated just to superman on the movie's release date. As they say in the TV industry, check your local listings!
