Cancer biology gets the superhero treatment! This meme brilliantly captures what happens when tumor suppressor genes fail at their job. Just like Spider-Man's transformation from red (healthy) to black (corrupted), cells undergo oncogenic transformation when their protective genes stop functioning. The tumor suppressor gene normally keeps cells in check, but when it's inactivated or mutated, the cell goes full villain mode and becomes malignant. Molecular biologists secretly wish cancer was this easy to spot—just look for the cells wearing black suits instead of red ones!
