I thought the super hero book would be a comic book, but unfortunately it's not. I will say that to explain things in terms of what super heroes can do is a really good idea, as you can 'see' in your mind what is meant to happen and why it either is, or isn't, possible. There are no equations. But it's not 'graphical'
having said that, there are some pictures but they're extracts form old comic books in black and white, so your son mightn't go for it.

I wonder, I have recommended 'Eureka' on YouTube before now as a brilliant explanation of basic physics (ie Newtonian). It's about 27 5 minute episodes with little cartoon characters - they actually look a littler like the 'Brainwaves'. brilliant!

Another great 'science' book (and also a TV series on DVD available in Europe only as a series I think) that your son might like is 'the way things work'. I think this is a DK book

is your son interested in literature?
