The project reimagines the Marvel character through the lens of speculative anatomy and design. It blends comic book fantasy with scientific inquiry, exploring how retractable claws might integrate into the human musculoskeletal system. At its center is a skeletal hand model, detailed with musculature and mechanical components to illustrate the proposed claw mechanism. Surrounding the main piece, supporting models show anatomical references, material tests, and iterative prototypes. The project balances imagination with craftsmanship, combining delicate 3D-printed bones, silicone skin, and painted pieces. The project transforms a pop culture icon into a speculative anatomical study, inviting audiences to consider the fusion of biology, engineering, and fantasy.
