If you're only familiar with the film's version of Ultron, then you may be shocked to find out the origin story is slightly different. What?! A movie taking liberties from the comic book?! MY WORD! In the film, Tony Stark creates Ultron (with a little help from Bruce Banner), but in the comic book world, Ultron is created by Hank Pym, Ant-Man. That's right, Ant-Man. Though in the movies Hank Pym is the creator of the Ant-Man suit, not Ant-Man himself.
Hank Pym made Ultron, imbuing it with his own personality. The only thing is that Hank Pym isn't a stable dude, so neither was Ultron. Combine instability with intelligence and you get a nasty robot hell bent on destroying humanity. Ultron has a point though. Humanity does kind of suck. Let us kill ourselves though, Ultron. We're doing a good job at it.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
