00:00Do you know how Spider-Man sticks to walls even while wearing his suit, gloves, and boots?
00:04And do you know how he manages to do that?
00:06In the Tobey Maguire trilogy, Peter has tiny hook-shaped hairs that pierce through the
00:09suit and into solid surfaces to help him stick.
00:11But that's just an adaptation of how he actually manages to stick.
00:14Even with the suit, gloves, and boots on, the real power is in Peter's entire body.
00:19Just like a spider, he has an attraction ability similar to that of a magnet.
00:22This power is called the Van der Waals force, and it's because of this force that he can stick,
00:26even with the fabric of the suit between him and any surface.
00:28For him, it's nothing, it's like being a human magnet.
