Researchers at the University of Cambridge have now proven that it would be impossible for Spider-Man to actually scale walls. They looked at other creatures that scale walls in a similar fashion and concluded that Spider-Man would have to have 80% of his front covered in sticky pads and that his feet would have to be obscenely big (size 114) in order for scaling to work. This is all apart of an effort to created real-life adhesives that could help people actually climb up walls. Great, next thing Cambridge is going to prove is that Wolverine’s Adamantium-plated skeletal structure and retractable claws are nothing more than just various substituents bonded to atoms and that Adamantium doesn’t actually exist. Good luck proving that one, science!
