A Super Return for Superhero Science and Technology

Abstract

In 2017, I established the open access journal Superhero Science and Technology to provide researchers with a unique publishing medium to share their scientific findings with a diverse readership. In modern popular culture, superheroes are commonplace thanks to a host of successful TV series and films, and the reinvigorated interest in the source comic books. The high box office figures alone are testament to the popularity of the genre, which looks set to continue with a large number of films and TV series planned for the next decade.
