Human Body, Vision, and the Brain

Required

Shelly has an idea for a new superhero that she’s calling “The Muscle.” Shelly tells you: “The Muscle doesn’t have a skeletal system - they have no bones! Because they don’t have any bones to get in the way, The Muscle is super strong. When The Muscle meets supervillains, they always win the battle and survive." Do you agree with Shelly that The Muscle would be a strong superhero? Do you think they would survive a battle with a villain? Why or why not? Support your argument with reasoning.
