Could a human body actually survive getting Spider-Man's powers from a spider bite?
Lore, Tested takes one of the most famous superhero origin stories and stress-tests it against real biology, physics, and biomechanics. We break down the cellular delivery bottleneck of an acute bite, the square-cube law of proportional strength, the microscopic van der Waals physics of wall-crawling, the Cambridge University adhesive pad scaling limit, neurological reaction time vs ballistic bullets, and the extreme centripetal G-forces of web-swinging.
