I know I just posted something, but i have another idea for a Marvel based myth, and this one is from the movies, more than the comics. That question being, could a person actually walk on a wall with something that mimics the hairs of spider, A.K.A. molecular velcro.
I saw a thing on the sicince of spiderman that came out around the time of the last movie, were they showed something called molecure velcro. Which they said would give people the poer to walk on walls if made into a suit, but is that the only this that could give you the power to walk on walls.
I know you did the whole walkking on walks this with the crime and mythdimnor episode but is that another way to walk on walls, and is molecular velco strong enough to hold a body on a wall?

i saw some documentary a few months back where scientists were building small robots that would climb glass like a lizard. they grew some kind of synthetic hair that was so small u could only see it on an electron mycroscope. it was interesting and i wished i remembered the name. i think its still in the testing phase and not up to human body weight yet

hey I think the spiderman idea is pretty good but it is qute obvious the chances of your genes trnsforming in a 24 hour time period from the bite of a spider is impossible, but it iss a funny question.

They've developed the gecko palm that could support a human's weight.
