Line 91:
** The cure failed due to the long term effects of Mar-Vell's nega-bands... but that still doesn't explain why Wakanda withholds its cancer cures from the rest of the world.
** Wait, how many different types of cancer does it cure again? Because it's been stated that cancer comes in many different forms from many different sources. Maybe they don't want to become the biggest embarassment in the history of the world for declaring one cure to one type of cancer and letting down everyone related a different type of cancer, because that would crash their unobtanium sales.
*** That would be [[Insane Troll Logic]] on Wakanda's part if true, because it makes exactly the same amount of sense as not releasing the cure for HIV because it doesn't also cure Ebola. I mean, a virus is a virus, right? More sensibly, if Wakanda had the cure for, oh, say, leukemia, and released it, people would praise their name for saving leukemia sufferers from horrible death even if the cure didn't also work on, oh, brain cancer.
*** In addition to the part where confirming that one type of cancer cure actually works might help lead researchers to find other related cures, even if its not one-size-fits-all.
* [[Iron Man]]'s enemy, Ezekiel Stane, discovered a way of reducing the energy consumption of the body to only 7%, the best use of this: Repulsor bolts from his hand, [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check|is not like he can fight the hunger or something.]]
* [[Spider-Man]]'s webbing. Real life spider silk is, pound for pound, stronger than steel, tougher than Kevlar, as flexible as yarn, and incredibly lightweight. It's also prohibitively hard to manufacture, as spiders don't "farm" well. Peter Parker somehow has managed to manufacture synthetic spider silk that's cost-effective enough for him to always be in supply; while it does dissolve after about an hour, no adhesive company seems interested in buying the formula and tweaking it to last longer.
