• Question: if you injected someone with fingerprint analysis chemicals and then exposed them to a flow of dark matter could it give a being supernatural powers for example super speed?

      I don’t think so, no. Some of the chemicals used for fingerprint analysis are actually bad for us, so injecting them really wouldn’t be a good idea.

      Sadly, no. In most cases, the way the “science” gives superheroes their powers is entirely made up, and very fanciful.

      And as Alex says – a lot of these chemicals can be harmful, rather than helpful!

      If you inject anything into a living animal, the tissues can try to eject it, form antibodies. Fingerprint chemicals include talc and superglue, which just aren’t going to do anybody any good.
