Fans of Spider-man 2 have been rocked by shocking news from Asia: China has created its own ‘artificial sun’ – nuclear fusion reactor EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak)– and it has quickly become a trend on Twitter thanks to the followers of the ‘Trepamuros’. This scientific achievement has caused many to remember the fate of the Doctor octopus in the sequel to Sam Raimi starring Tobey Maguire.
As some would say: “Reality surpasses fiction”. What was a few years ago the plot of a Marvel villain, has now become a real event.

From fiction to reality
As explained Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the project, the goal of Chinese scientists is create nuclear fusion like the Sun to provide a constant stream of clean energy that supplies his nation.
It is a goal very similar to that of Doctor Otto Octavius (Dr. Octopus) in the Marvel film which, as many will remember, ends with his own death and with the city on the verge of being annihilated.
