I mean, she is highly venerated by the scientific community, such that her research is still kept around despite being highly radioactive. Also, she was a living human being, as opposed to, y’know, a comic book character.
She should have been born in a comic book instead of real life.
Classic mistake.
Maybe she should have been named Bruce. It's our strongest name!
Statistically that's Jack
Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.
I would love to see a movie about her where she gets super powers instead of dying
Goddamn misogynistic radiation! Fight patriarchal particle decay!
Misogynistic Radiation would be an absolutely amazing band name
When the misogynistic radiation ionizes oxygen, it smells exactly like Axe body spray. So strange.
Counterpoint: She-Hulk.
I don't think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.
And then there was that guy who ingested radium like a supplement and his jaw decayed. He was bulletproof, however. And he had laser beam eyes. It’s sort of a mixed bag.
Wow, that was a wild read. I kept going to see if the man responsible for Radithor would get his after finding out it made him rich.
Tap for spoiler
No legal justice but ...
Bailey died of bladder cancer ... his body was exhumed nearly 20 years later, it was ... "ravaged by radiation".

I guess it's a good example of Hanlon's razor, "Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity"
This does sound like a Marvel mutant? I think his name was "Furnace"? He had no jaw and his chest was flaming energy?
Edit: That was not his name:
Jono Starsmore, also known as Chamber, is a mutant who possesses mutant abilities including the generation and manipulation of concussive blasts of psionic energy from a furnace in his chest, telepathy for communication and mental manipulation.

Now I want an issue of The Hulk where Madame Curie bursts through The Green Door as the hulkest hulk that ever hulked.
MARIE CURIE IS STRONGEST THERE IS!
