Become A Superhero – Sling-em Webs & Climb Like Spidey

Who among us hasn’t watched a superhero movie thinking, if only that were me.

While I under no circumstances advocate for self administering a spider bite, or leaping of building to fly like Superman, what follows are some examples of super humans and some super science.

In the series we will look at some superhoomans, some superwhooomans and superwhooo-evers-inbetween.

Is it a bird?

Is it a plane?

No.

It’s you.

Go web go!

A phrase synonymous with certain movie hero.

What if you could go web go wherever you wanted as well? Scientists are currently working on mimicking the gecko’s skin which grips things using millions of tiny hairs called setae.

The aforementioned material will hopefully be used to enable people to walk on walls or ceilings.

For now however, ninjas and free climbers are about the closest we can get to spidey. As far as shooting webs goes, well turns out there have been significant improvements in said fields.

The NYPD have reportedly developed a N.E.T which stand for non-lethal entanglement technology.

NET, get it?

In short it kind of shoots a web at criminals like ole spidey, apparently there are three types, so you will have to cycle through your inventory for these.

The first, a net which conducts electricity. Bad idea.

The second, a basic net.

Lastly a sticky net, of course deployed by grenade.

Spider-Cop?
