I'll be honest, the idea of giving birth (or rather Bobbie Jo giving birth) to the next superhero, is really pretty cool. Having our own little Spiderman (or Spiderwoman), running around the house, swinging from the ceiling and tying the cats up in webbing- would be pretty sweet. However our doctors and the hospital that Bobbie Jo works at have assured us we have no better chance than anyone else in the world for this to happen.
We have had a few people ask, as Bobbie Jo is now a full time x-ray technician, whether the radiation that she encounters on a daily basis could give the baby special powers. Apparently the radiation that an x-ray tech receives is one one-thousandth of the radiation that the person getting the x-ray receives. She is now wearing a third radiation badge (with a picture of a tiny baby on it) to monitor her belly's radiation exposure, in addition to the two others that she already wears. Her job couldn't be any safer. People who work in front of a computer monitor all day receive comparable radiation to what she (and the little one) are getting.
So, it looks like we can rule out our own little addition to the X-Men, though rumor has it these little things are a handful, even without additional powers.
