​Fantastic Superheroes Co.

​

Have you ever stopped to think where superheroes come from? Of course, they are the result of the creative minds of comic book writers, but where do these writers get their ideas from? Science, of course.

​

Would Superman have x-ray vision without Roengten? I don't think so. Villiard's discovery of Gamma rays gave us The Hulk.  Adamantium (Wolverine) does not exist, but advances in metallurgy help us believe that it could be possible. Not only that, many of the superheroes we know of are scientists in their own right.  Susan Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman, holds four doctorates in biochemistry. Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) had doctorates in physics and engineering. The X-Men's Profession Xavier is a biophysicist and geneticist, while the Beast is a biochemist. Peter Parker would have made an excellent engineer, having created the awesome web substance and dispensing device), had he not been bitten by the spider. The list is seemingly endless...

We are looking to hire a young cartoonist!

​

Job description:

For this position, the cartoonist needs to be knowledgeable about diverse scientific topics such as zoology, physiology and genetics.  They must also be creative and willing to work collaboratively. This particular position is not about artistic ability, but rather about being able to provide a solid scientific basis for a new character.
