Superheroes often have bizarre and mysterious origin stories that involve freak accidents, alien rays or latent mutated genes that allow the character to manifest super powers.
These origin stories can take a single issue or an entire story arc to explain, but the crafty artists as Pop Chart Lab were able to reduce the origin story of 36 Marvel superheroes to just a few minimalist panels each.
