Why didn't any of them go on to develop any super powers. These DC comics were actually a pile of horsetulip then!

Alcohol improved your driving as well.

It relaxed you, apparently.

Still does

Don't you have to be bitten by something radioactive to gain superpowers, rather than being radioactive yourself?

Not sure when National Service ended but I knew someone who did it and said his lot were either sent to do nuclear testing or getting rid of old ammunition. He did the latter and ended up very deaf, but still thought he had the better end of it. I dont remember whether he actually had a choice or whether they were just assigned. National Service wasnt voluntary, of course.

Yeah, super power of being able to shag as many birds as they want and not get one of the pregnant!
