Scientists claim that they can create a real life Spider Man
October 20, 2008

Besides his super athletic ability (which an athlete can train for) ; what Spidey has is his sticky web fluid and spidery limbs which allow him to adhere to any surface. Scientists analysing the gecko have created the ultimate super glue. A dry glue thats so powerful that if you use just a 1 inch square of this glue, it should support the weight of a 220 pound grown man on any surface. Whats more , you can simply lift it off and reapply it - without loosing its stickiness ; thus making it ideal for creating Spidey from scratch.

Of course the CIA would have to look into suitable techs for giving him a Spidey sense , but science has already done so much, that just needs to go a little bit further. the new glue uses a carpet of carbon nanotubes, thin filaments of carbon molecules. But attached to the ends of these filaments are curly strands of carbon that expand the surface area of the glue gripping action. The glue will stay stuck for large forces pulling normal to it , but if its slowly peeled away , it comes away easily.
