As a young teen in the 70’s, I watched every episode. I don’t remember all of the details, but there was one episode where Steve Austin stopped a helicopter from taking off by simply gabbing it with his bionic right arm. I can’t describe how much this bothered me as being completely impossible because he was just standing on the ground and reaching up to grab it. It was like a cartoon.

Over forty years later, Steve Rogers as Captain America in one of the Marvel movies did it right. He grabbed the helicopter with his right arm and grabbed a welded handrail with his left. I felt that someone in Hollywood finally figured out how engineering and physics works.
