Why did a lot of Super Heroes back in the days get their powers

Nuclear weapons and by extension all things radioactive were the tightest shit that people could imagine back in the day. People absolutely loved nuclear everything. The bikini was designed specifically because of the Hydrogen Bomb tests at Bikini Atoll.

Because back in the day all anyone could ever think about was how atom bombs could wipe them out at any moment.

How many actually got it from radioactive WASTE besides Daredevil?
Jessica Jones and the TMNT don't count because it was the same damn truck that got Matt.

If they don't count, your question should be "how many wastes gave powers to superheroes".

The bigger question is how do superheroes get their powers these days

Gender reassignment surgery?

I'm serious. In the 60's they got powers from radiation in general, but radioactive WASTE? Despite the sterotype, I can't think of many.

Nuclear was the cutting edge at the time, now we're moving from GM to nanotechnology.

Toxic Avenger


unless it was the same truck

People didn't know shit about radiation.
Just like now people don't know shit about nanotechnology.

Does that mean our comics with nano powers are dated in a few years?
