This week we were working on our Superhero Origin Story and how our super hero came to be. It had to be sciencey, like when Peter Parker got a mutation from that radioactive spider. We could choose either a mutation or a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). I chose GMO. We needed to include the science or if it was in real life how it would happen. Here is my story. I chose to do a GMO. My superhero is based on the frogfish. But in my story, I made it so she thought she would breathe under the water like a clownfish. But the scientist screwed up and brought in some frogfish genes that were being studied. So she got the powers of a frogfish instead of clownfish powers. Frogfish are really special because they can do a lot of things. They can camouflage, they can sort of expand their stomach, and they have a retractable lure of like a worm or whatever. They lure food in by hiding and wiggling slightly to make the lure appear alive. Strangely, despite all of those awesome cool things they can do, frogfish can hardly swim. If you look here you will see that they sort of have little legs and feet shaped from their fins. They "walk" on the fins. I hope you enjoy the story!
