How can Darth Vadar charge up his light saber when the batteries go flat? Perhaps he needs to make a power generator.

How can Captain Jack Sparrow find sunken treasure when his treasure map is written in invisible ink? If only he could work out how to make the message appear.

Why won’t Robin Hood’s arrows fly straight? Is it something to do with aerodynamics?

How can Indiana Jones find the Sphinx’s nose in Cleopatra’s pyramid? Perhaps Pythagoras’ Theorem could help him work out the dimensions.

Harry Potter can do almost any type of magic, but can he read minds? Maybe a maths code could help.

Superman gets his strength from the sun but where can Super Dooper the Superhero get his strength? Can the food pyramid help with this?
