Review
Taking each character as its starting point the authors use a combination of hard fact and speculation to look beyond the fiction and examine the scientific principles of the X Mens' abilities and ponder if they could ever become science-reality. The prose is accessible and light, providing simple explanations and theories and a short background is provided on each character, both goodies and baddies. There is also a small section on the technology employed by the mutants' in their fight for justice.
X-Men fans will find this a diverting read and it is always fun to entertain the possibility that super powers, such as Magneto's ability to create magnetic forces, are not so out of our grasp as we dreamed when we were children. Those looking for a hard science reference work had better look elsewhere as this serves as a mere starting point for some complex theories and scientific principles.
