Bo nauka nie musi być nudna!

I. Read the text and do the exercises below. Przeczytaj tekst i wykonaj ćwiczenia.

Spider-Man

It began when Peter Parker was attending a high-school demonstration of radiation

technology. A spider crept into the beam of radiation and bit Peter's hand. This gave him

superhuman spider-like abilities.

In the original comic book, Peter's new talents inspired him to invent his trusty web-glands,

small jets attached to his wrists that fire a special polymer that hardens on contact with air. (In

the first Spider-Man film with Tobey Maguire, Parker grows natural web-glands).

Peter Parker lives with his Aunt May and works as a photographer for the Daily Bugle. But as

Spider-Man, he fights evil in the dangerous, crime-ridden streets of New York.

Wonder Woman

Born on Paradise Island, Diana Prince was blessed by ancient gods with the powers of

strength and flight. One day, Captain Steve Trevor crash-landed on the island and Diana

nursed him back to health.

When he returned to the United States, Diana went with him. Armed with the twin weapons

of truth and the American way, Diana spends her life as a hospital nurse, tending those injured

in the fight against evil.

But at the flick of her lasso, she is transformed into Wonder Woman, champion of women's

issues - "fighting for her rights in her satin tights".

Daredevil

Matt Murdoch was the son of a boxer, ‘Battling Jack’ Murdoch, who grew up in New York.

When Matt saved a blind man from being hit by a truck, some of the radioactive waste inside

the truck spilled into Matt’s eyes, blinding him permanently.

Matt’s other senses became much more acute, and he developed a radar sense that allowed

him to see the world around him. He also found that he could hear another person’s heartbeat,

smell the faintest odour or even ‘read’ a newspaper just by touching the print.

After training as a lawyer at Columbia University, Matthew set up practice in New York. But

after facing many injustices in the courtroom, Matt took on the identity of Daredevil and

fought the criminals that he couldn’t bring to justice by legal means.

Superman

Superman was born on the Planet Krypton. When his father, Jor-El, realised that the Planet

Krypton was doomed, he launched his son into space. Eventually he landed on a small blue-

green planet called Earth.

Bo nauka nie musi być nudna!

The child was adopted by Smallville residents Jonathan and Martha Kent, and was named

Clark. The boy grew to be quick and strong, as his Kryptonian cells were converting the Sun's

energy into incredible superpowers.

After high school, Clark moved to Metropolis, where he works as a mild-mannered reporter

on the Daily Planet. But whenever danger calls, he's only a quick-change away from saving

the world … as Superman.

The Incredible Hulk

The TV series ran from 1977-1982.

Bruce Banner followed in his father’s footsteps to become a nuclear physicist. He worked at

the US Army Desert Base in New Mexico, and developed a new gamma bomb for the

military.

But when a reckless teenager strayed onto the bomb test site, Dr Banner saved him – but was

caught in the middle himself. Banner was transformed into a huge green monster, enormously

strong and driven by fury.

In the original comics the Hulk has multiple personas. They vary in strength, wickedness,

intelligence and greenness.

Magneto

Magneto was born a mutant in a world that feared and despised his kind. His response was to

isolate himself from humanity on Asteroid M, preparing for the time when mutants would rule

the Earth. His ability to control electromagnetic fields means that he can levitate all objects

made of metal, project force fields, and generate electricity. BBC
