Super Transfusions
May 26th, 2005
Let’s say that you’re caught as an innocent bystander in a super-hero/super-villain fight and badly injured. You need an immediate blood transfusion and the only possible donor is one of the super-heroes. Should you consent? What are the odds?
Go for it. The odds are clearly on your side (unless you’re a nearly senile octogenarian):

That is brilliant and incredibly geeky all at the same time!

Actually, if we extend this concept of superhuman blood sometimes transferring powers, either temporarily or permanently, back to the Golden Age, it becomes a perfect means to explain the explosion in superhuman numbers over time. Some of the Golden Agers must have contributed blood, not just to save a particular person, but to the general bblood supply.
