Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

No true, he would’ve become a superhero like the meme suggests.
Obviously he was actually a woman, or he wouldn’t have died.

What actually happened is Joliot turned into a supervilain, he killed Pierre Curie before he could become a superhero, but was ultimately defeated by Henri Bequerel, who is immortal.
I thought this was common knowledge.
In the meantime Irene Joliot died of the radiations, as everybody would expect.
Most likely she melted into a sentient beam of radiation and is blasting all around the world, interfering with various radio signals, and science experiments, like John Bell’s - just to fuck with Einstein.
Would have made her an alpha male if she was a male. But she wasn’t and there is no such thing as an alpha female (neither does alpha male make much sense but I digress)

And then there was that guy who ingested radium like a supplement and his jaw decayed. He was bulletproof, however. And he had laser beam eyes. It’s sort of a mixed bag.
Jono Starsmore, also known as Chamber, is a mutant who possesses mutant abilities including the generation and manipulation of concussive blasts of psionic energy from a furnace in his chest, telepathy for communication and mental manipulation.
Wow, that was a wild read. I kept going to see if the man responsible for Radithor would get his after finding out it made him rich.

Half the fun of Philomena Cunk is she’s like half right or at least you can see where she starts from.
I’m not into comics but now i’m genuinely curious; is there a comic story where the radiation turned a woman super? Only one springs to my mind is fantastic 4s invisible woman, which, you know, there’s some subtext. I’m also not counting things like She-Hulk cause that lacks originality.
Is there more turtles turned super by ooze or radiation than women?

There just aren’t a lot of women supers with cultural staying power in the first place, and getting powers from radiation was a trope from a time there were less than average.

I don’t think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.

Maybe. But IIRC it’s still not the reason she got the powers. I think it was because they were related or something, she was able to incorporate Hulk blood somehow. She didn’t become She-Hulk due to massive exposure to radiation.

She became a gamma mutant through gamma exposure through Banner, but she became she hulk instead of Cancer Woman because she’s Banners cousin. Makes you wonder how widely the Hulk gene is spread in that family waiting for a gamma burst to wake it up

I mean, she is highly venerated by the scientific community, such that her research is still kept around despite being highly radioactive. Also, she was a living human being, as opposed to, y’know, a comic book character.

Goddamn misogynistic radiation! Fight patriarchal particle decay!
Misogynistic Radiation would be an absolutely amazing band name
When the misogynistic radiation ionizes oxygen, it smells exactly like Axe body spray. So strange.

Not a male scientist.
When your family is so brilliant they die from it.

Now I want an issue of The Hulk where Madame Curie bursts through The Green Door as the hulkest hulk that ever hulked.
MARIE CURIE IS STRONGEST THERE IS!

This does sound like a Marvel mutant? I think his name was “Furnace”? He had no jaw and his chest was flaming energy?
Edit: That was not his name:

Isn’t that basically dialysis?

I would love to see a movie about her where she gets super powers instead of dying
We’d just get Hulk again?
Imagine the She-Hulk
movieshow if it were good. Yeah, this is it.She-Hulk was a TV show, and IMO it’s among the better half of Marvel shows (which isn’t saying much).

She should have been born in a comic book instead of real life.
Classic mistake.
Maybe she should have been named Bruce. It’s our strongest name!
Statistically that’s Jack
Jack’ll crack when the Bruce is loose.
Name one story where a Bruce beats a Jack, even in the Hulk, you simply can’t because their normal powers are increased by Hulk being giant-kin
