This is a major grade, so please be creative but make sure to focus on your understanding of the parts and

Science fiction writers are always searching for good ideas for
plots that will capture the interest of their readers. A common
premise was that radiation somehow altered biological
processes, transforming normal human beings into
superhumans, some good and some evil. One example is the
Incredible Hulk.
