I remember when we were kids, my father used to buy a lot of old comic books at rummage sales from the late 60s and early 70s. Nothing valuable, but a lot of the Richie Rich and Casper, The Friendly Ghost comics, the ones put out by Harvey comics. Then there were the superhero ones, but they were never Superman or Batman, it was always these weird, low-rent Justice League knockoffs of groups of heroes with odd powers. I know a big thing was always the 'accidental' superhero, kind of like Spiderman. He was bitten by a radioactive spider and that's how he acquired his powers. I remember one of the superheroes was a guy who, as a child, fell into a vat of plant food, giving him the abilities of growing plants superfast and controlling them.

This morning I was drinking some apple juice and realized that it was a 2 serving size and that each serving gave me 100% of my daily vitamin C. I started wondering what super powers you'd theoretically get by overdosing on vitamin C. Would your blood turn to citric acid? Would you be able to command armies of citrus fruit and call them to your aid, alà Aquaman and sea creatures? I supposed you'd also be able to keep avacados from oxidizing just by standing near them.
