Season 1

Everyone wonders where heroes originate, right? The tale goes that a tiny radioactive bee bites Mommy. Or perhaps Daddy dumps a radioactive seed into Mommy's belly. Or suddenly a radioactive stork appears in the middle of the night bearing a gift. But if none of these schemes work, Mommy can enter a radioactive gamma-ray machine and blow it up. Yes, nuclear power was the great technological breakthrough of the 1950s and it served as the inspiration for an entire generation of heroes. Probably the heroes of this century will emerge from watching too many kitten memes on Facebook, from wearing little Bambi filters on their faces on Snapchat, or from spending most of their time playing Pokemon Go.
