I was just wondering if you guys could figure something out for me. Spider-man has radioactive blood, right? (Well, at least according to the comic books...) What would happen if good old web-head decided to swing on down to the nearest Blook Bank and donate a pint? Would the person who gets that blood get his powers, or just get radiation poisoning?

I think anyone with even the slightest amount of scientific knowledge could tell you radioactive blood is going to do one of 3 things, depending on the intensity of the radiation: 1) Nothing 2) Make you sick 3) Kill you Time frame on the second two would vary depending on intensity, and 3 would probably involve getting sick as well.

I'd like to note that nowhere amongst those options is "get spidey powers." Also, I'd like to note these options apply to anyone with radioactive blood. The very idea of getting spider powers from a radioactive spider is scientifically absurd.

Fortunately, I was bitten by a genetically engineered spider, allowing me to become your friendly neighborhood Spider-man.

You see, it's perfectly reasonable for a genetically engineered spider bite to slowly rebuild your genetic structure, um, without killing you and, uh, leave you looking the same but with amazing powers.
