DeGrasse Tysonspoke with ComicBook.comto advertise his National Geographic showCosmos : Possible Worlds , where the conversation turned to the scientific truth of both Marvel and DC Comics . He believe that Marvel has , " hand down , " the more scientifically accurate stories . Despite appearing inactiveness Comicsand having a pocket-size cameo in theBatman v. Superman : Dawn of Justicefilm , DeGrasse Tyson says Marvel ’s more scientific approach to their rootage stories afford them more credence when it comes to precise representation . He referred to Spider - Man being mo in a lab as one of the model that Marvel use science - based stories to aim their hero sandwich ’s extraction .

Spider - Man . He ’s sting while he ’s in a biological science lab where there ’s a radioactive wanderer . There ’s the Hulk , who … it was gamma rays . Everybody ’s got a science - based story behind their superpowers , and that produce a fertile landscape that you may go back to if you need to .
