The superhero interpretation of atomic structure is painfully accurate. The electron, portrayed by Wolverine, stands aloof and brooding - exactly how electrons behave, constantly threatening to jump to another energy level without warning. Meanwhile, the proton and neutron cuddle in the nucleus like they're at a middle school dance. The strong nuclear force is basically just atomic PDA. Next semester I'll be teaching quantum mechanics using X-Men comics instead of textbooks. Might finally get someone to stay awake.
