Screaming fans excited about your research, the Sharpie on your lanyard for signing autographs – wouldn’t that be nice?
To say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and science in the real world are similar is correct, but to say that they are different is also correct.
The MCU centres around superheroes and their continued effort to protect civilians from the evil villains. It was the mid-2010s when I sat on my sofa with my mum and ‘met’ arguably one of the top three best superheroes of all time: Iron Man. What an arrogant and self-righteous man, who you can’t help but root for. Even with his flawed personality, he is a man with phenomenal ideas and the money to fund them, from constructing version upon version of the iron man suit to creating an arc reactor.
