About this listen

Two Marvel origin stories. Two very different mad scientists. Only one built a cinematic empire.

This week, we revisit Hulk (2003) and Iron Man (2008) to explore the science behind the superheroes and why one experiment failed while the other changed blockbuster cinema.

Ang Lee's Hulk is a tragic tale of inherited trauma, gamma radiation and fractured identity, a full-blown mad science horror hiding inside a superhero movie.

Iron Man flips the formula: no monster, no accident, just a billionaire engineer weaponising his own genius and building the future in a cave.

From Frankenstein echoes to high-tech spectacle, this is the moment Marvel transformed mad science into the foundation of the MCU.
