All-Star Superman throws his key...

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



Galan007
All-Star Superman picks up his key to the Fortress of Solitude and throws it as hard as he can at the following characters individually. They are just standing in one spot and can physically brace themselves, but that's it... What happens to them?

-Surfer
-Thor
-Hulk
-Thanos
-Mangog
-Galactus

*No personal shielding of any kind... Just talking about physical durability.

he would probably kill everything up to Thanos/Mangog. Galactus no sells it.

bluewaterrider
If the key weighs half a million tons, nothing happens.

Superman won't be able to throw it far enough to reach.

DarkSaint85
They all get KOed,Hulk gets blown apart (poss Thanos too actually).

I am basing this on Wolverine and his claws being able to pierce those guys. 500,000 tons thrown by Supes? That should be roughly the same PSI as Logan....

He's lifting it with essentially one finger and thumb (unless it's a very long key).

And casually chatting away.

Galan007
^ It's the size of a normal house key.

And I think it's fair to assume that a guy who can easily press upwards of 200 QUINTILLION tons with ONE arm isn't going to have problems throwing a small object that weighs half a million tons, lol.

DarkSaint85
Yah, I realised in the first panel.

Btw, for those wondering, this is a reminder of ASM's strength level:

Notable for having two Scots writing and drawing it. Morrison and Quitely.

Why notable?

The British 'quintillion' is much larger than the US quintillion. Much much larger.

Mangog takes it, but is injured.

Galactus takes it but is stunned a tiny bit.

Everyone else dies.

I'm actually trying to track down that story or some details about it right now, for even that scan with him pressing on the machine tells us the power of ASM was tripled from what it normally apparently was.

It sounds like you've never actually read/heard of this story.

Perhaps you should (am being sarcastic here so there is no doubt - you definitely should read it, in all seriousness) before you make comments like your initial post in here.

I was actually thinking about that, too.

It'd be like enduring the spearhead of that girl with the throwing lance, "Proxima Midnight", if I recall correctly.

Every character on the list has survived piercing wounds of that sort save Galactus, if memory serves.

When backed up by a projectile that weighs half a million tons, and propelled by a strength that can press 200, quintillion tons casually?

After all, Wolverine has done a lot of damage with his claws, and they hardly weigh as much.

Moreover, PM's spear was more of a net when it became that heavy. Not a spear.

Superman attempts to throw it with a big dynamic multiple comic book panel windup and then it just plops 2 feet in front of him showing the full background instead of the background effects.

All you're telling me is that key should be REALLY good at piercing, like the point of a spear is to a normal man. Great force concentrated on one area (because the area is so small) is a nearly textbook definition of WHY piercing objects are ABLE to pierce through things.

OP never stated how far away they were thumb up

They're all standing two feet away. Or however far away you think he can throw it, they're always standing just close enough to get hit by it.

There, everyone's happy.

Not quite.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment

Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v squared. It's not just piercing, but also the sheer kinetic energy being hit by a key that weighs that much being propelled by a force that high would impart.

Like when sniper bullets hit watermelons. It doesn't just go through the watermelon like a knife would. It blows it apart.

One Big Mob
Why are we assuming Superman even knows how to throw a key when he doesn't even know how to hold a key? I've never seen someone hold a key that awkward before

DarkSaint85
He's holding it like that because he was about to throw it at Lois.

By this reasoning, Flash and Zoom using their near-infinite mass punches should have resulted in several dead herald-level opponents.

Interestingly enough, a translation of these 2 scenes (Supergirl #9, along with whatever All Star Superman issue that is) was included in the first season of the Supergirl TV show, where Kara first visits the Fortress of Solitude with James Olsen in tow ...

Zoom doesn't have an IMP. As his mass is not infinite (or approaching infinity).

Not that it's been explained.

However, using that as a crutch (i.e. PIS) isn't admissible here.

If we accept that Flash is punching at near infinite mass levels (as seen on panel), and that Superman's key DOES weigh half a million tons (as seen on panel), then either their targets have durability/shields/whatever protecting them, or it's PIS that they survived/tank it.

And as some of the these guys DON'T have that durability (Wolverine), and as PIS is inadmissible.....

Check the original poster's (OP's) list.
Wolverine is not one of the targets mentioned:

All of Galan's choices are herald class or above and have taken hits of tremendous weight and velocity, some piercing, and tanked, endured, survived and/or recovered from them.

Check my initial post


Wolverine has pierced them before, despite not going particularly fast, or having much strength/mass behind his stabs (compared to 200 quintillion tons, or half a million tons).

As you have pointed out, and I have pointed out in my post, that piercing is analogous to being hit by a small key with that strength level behind it.

Has anyone ever said you were autistic, bwr? Not being mean or anything, as it is a serious condition, but has anyone ever commented on that aspect of you?

It makes things crazy.

200 British quintillion tons is like the mass of the largest known star in existence. That's not even the Sun, that's like a hundred of our Suns.

And that's one handed, casually. That's probably why people don't bring it up.

Searched Wikipedia. The original ASM scene is featured in the 2nd issue of that series.

Interesting to note the writers for Kara's show double the weight of the All-Star Superman key AND have a 3rd party say Kara's faster than Superman.

Anyway, I like what that ASM scene inspired.
That was pretty cool to watch on the show.

It kills everyone here except Galactus. think even galactus would be royally ****ed up though.

What about the same key throw v.s. Captain Americas shield and Logan's skeleton?

Not familiar with the use of figurative language, or you just don't think the other participants in this forum are?

Literal, too.

You can literally see it as a black swirly webbing covering Hulk. When before it was a shaft of light.

So, as I said, when it was that weight, it was a net.

Why do sharp objects cut or penetrate a surface?
It's all about pressure.
Pressure = Force / Area

A sharp object has a very small cross sectional area, so it will apply a much larger pressure, under a given force, than an object with a much larger area.
In other words, it has a greater cutting potential.

The key can either hit the contestants on its flat side or its thin side. The difference in pressure would be tens of times different.

But assuming the flat side then the pressure would be astronomical because of the sheer force.


With that said, the ground would not only have to be durable as shit but the coefficient of friction on Superman's feet has to be astronomical (unless he is flying as he throws it).

carver9
If your using everyone here at there best, the key would just fling a lot of them back... that's looking at the things their hide has withstood. Thor shot by Celestials without damage. Hulk withstanding an ongoing bite that was capable of crushing adamantium. Surfer hit by a big bang. Etc...

Majority of them withstand this.

In combat against Wolverine, who is far weaker than ASM, astronomically weaker, in fact...would he just bounce off?

A showing against a more powerful character can be looked at in two different ways. A high showing for weaker character or a low showing for the more powerful character.


How do you know that the Celestials blasted Thor with a force greater than the thrown key? And that is assuming that we can equate blunt force with energy beams (which has more burning power than concussive power).

How do you know that adamantium of any size can withstand the key throw as well?
How do you know what is the maximum thickness of adamantium the dogs could crush?

Surfer hit by a Big Bang? Scans? I am definitely eager to see this.

If Superman can exert (casually) more than 400 trillion times the weight of that key then he is throwing it at insane speeds to produce unimaginable pressure.
You would be hard pressed to prove that any of these characters tanked such pressures on their high end.

Superman refuses to throw his key at the listed characters, because it would kill everyone on the list.

You looked over an important word in my post... it has become a common thing due to people always trying to find comebacks or ways to bash instead of just reading. I said IF we are using this, not IS. Also, Wolverine claws are unique. Wolverine claws have been described as being able to slice an atom in half. It is the sharpest weapon in comics, period. Also, there have been times where Wolverine claws have failed to cut the Hulk. It all depends on how pissed he is tbh. It doesn't matter since this key does not equal or isn't the same as being hit by Wolverine claws.

DarkSaint85
What do you think sharpness is?

And I agree. IF AS Superman gets to sundip for 10,0000 years (lol), and then throws his key several times after being lent speed by Flash (lol) and these guys are ..... wait,you're saying I'm adding stuff that isn't there? Oh, sorry.....

Unless All-Star Superman (it won't do to use his unfortunate acronym here) is specifically targeting these guys with head shots and intent to kill, even the weakest should survive. All of these are extremely durable individuals with records of surviving tremendous damage, due to either extreme damage soak ability, alien physiology, cosmic energy, healing factor, or some combination of these traits. Only in comics written by Kirkman would I be willing to entertain the watermelon physics DS proposed, especially given the kind of damage I've seen some of them sustain and keep functioning with.
Good case in point is Hulk, not only with Proxima's star-weighted spear, but earlier in battle against Zom, a powerful Dr.Strange-summoned demon who literally punched football-sized holes in Hulk's torso:

Thor recently caught a large city made entirely out of gold skyscrapers and all and then threw it in the sun. Thor catches it.
Any of these guys could catch it. This is low end stuff.The only variable is how fast Supes throws it and how strong is the keys material.

At worst they get a single shrapnel injury akin to a frag wound. Unless he is specifically aiming at their eye. And they could damage soak that.

Everyone here can pick the key up. This may be a feat for some new herald or mid brick but it's low end when you get up to these guys level

You just can't state shit without QUANTIFIABLE proof.

Superman is throwing a half million ton key at a force of 400 trillion times the weight of the key.

You have to provide feats in Which a character has tanked such forces or pressures. Stating that Zom punched holes through Hulk does not prove that Zom punched with more force than the key will be thrown at.

That's just strength.

So, still nothing.

And the musket video is...well, proves my point. The damage that the 0.5million ton key, thrown at speeds by a strength that can casually press 200 quintillion tons, would be far above anything seen by these guys.

AND would be concentrated in a small area. Your scans show how the Hulk, whose force was concentrated in his fist, was able to blow an asteroid twice the size of Earth apart.

Scale that. Use that exact same logic. Except instead of an asteroid, it's the Hulk, and instead of a fist, it's a key.

So the Hulk gets blown apart, like that asteroid in your scans. So I guess you're not posting completely irrelevant scans, as they prove my point.

So are you mildly/very autistic?

We use short scale numbers, tho.

Be it as it may, it is far more likely that the writer would use the standardized numerical scale system in his writing. Especially since it is also the main system of measurement for the target audience of his book (I'm guessing americans?).

I know you're much more of a Carver than a lifter, but overhead pressing is hard. I think it's something like 99 (point 9) percent of lifters will never ohp 2 plates (225 pounds) in their lives. Think of how much less that is than what the other lifts you hear about. A common Carver like you. Someone who has argued that flight and the like aide the other people's already extraordinary strength.

Pick any strength feat you want, and I guarantee it had more to it than deltoids and triceps (along with biceps and core for stabilizers).

And then you also have to realize it's not relying on unquantifiable masses to make an impression, it's using very real numbers. He moved this amount of weight, so he can move however much much using his entire body, and so on.

And that's one hand. From the position he was in, I wouldn't say two hands would double the weight, but it wouldn't be too far below either. Seems like more of a landmine press than a dumbell press. Either way, he didn't seem to be struggling too hard.

This would be a lot better strength feat imo than Superman bench pressing the Earth... if Lobdell understood how absolutely stupid it is for Superman to be benching for five days. People shouldn't write things they don't understand at all.
Either way, I'd put it above simply moving planetary mass, without factoring in sun gravity and shit like that.

thumb up I see it as a landmine press, so to be generous, was prepared to say a normal human could do what, 60kg? 130lb?

A normal human could also throw a baseball (or key) around 90mph. So was going to scale off that.

I don't think Hulk or Thor has any quantifiable feat comparable to casually lifting 200 quintillion tons with one arm.


With that said, imagine a billion ton mountain resting on a lying Hulk or Thor in such a way that the part that's in contact with them is the size of a key.

We clearly see that both would be penetrated easily. This thread is about a force that is astronomically greater.

Also, those feats are AS Superman's average feats. He has no showings that contradict them. You have to use average showings for any of these characters. Otherwise, characters like Thing shouldn't be able to make either feel anything with his punches.

You remember the Seinfeld episode when Elaine bragged up George because he could lift 100 pounds over his head? Think that and go lower.
95 pounds is more than generous I think.

Landmine pressing is weird though. I'd have to try it out again, but I know my one hand pressing was comparable or a little less than pressing from the chest with two hands. Which is probably because I'm scared of putting more than 3 plates on the bar and knocking all of my face off in a slip. When I get home in a couple days I'll try some different stuff out and see how it compares.

However, I think DS was just trying to get a baseline down for it, and I'm curious where he winds up with it.

I'd say the numbers he uses are his ratio of landmine pressing (just to put the weight in perspective if Superman used both hands), 95 pounds and 70-80 mph for the totally average human. That way we can see the absolute minimum of how to view the feat to present it to Carv and the Carving Gang.

Basically.

We have never seen ASM actually throw the key - so am having to use ratios.

43kg (95lbs) to 200 quintillion tons - is the speed factor to multiply 75mph by (roughly).

Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity squared. That's what will be hitting the contestants here.

Now, people might say 'this is comics, you can't use RL physics' - but we don't have an actual comic showing of ASM throwing his key.

Of course, Morrison didn't give a hoot about RL physics. So we could prob end up with something absolutely insane.

Enzeru
All of this totally depends where Superman throws the key at. If he is aiming for the heads or hearts of his opponents, then it would be a totally different outcome than if he was aiming for their shoulders or legs.

I mean, the key would pretty much be like a bullet. That size combined with that speed, it should simply pass through the majority of the people on the list. The question is just how it would affect them. I guess it also depends on if the key would rotate, because that would overall increase the size of the projectile and the damage it does.

The key pierces his body, no matter where it's thrown at. Surfer regenerates any area that is not his brain / heart.
But this is probably the trickiest one. Surfer is all over the place, when it comes to durability / regeneration / nigh-immortality. Judging by his Thanos showings, he should die from getting his brain or heart pierced, no matter if he actually has these organs or not. I would have argued, that he hasn't, but why would Thanos then be able to beat him to near death? Why would Thanos be able to stab Surfer through the chest and pierce his head on Mjolnir, ultimately killing him in the process?
So yeah, if the key goes through his brain / heart, he dies.

Originally posted by Galan007

Dies from getting his brain pierced.
MIGHT survive getting his heart pierces, but that would take him out for a very long time until he recovered back from it. He was fighting Silver Surfer, while some of his organs were turned into glass or something.
Survives everything else and recovers in time.

Survives everything. Anything non-brain / non-heart affected would heal pretty quickly. Brain and heart might take a while, but I don't think it would really stop the Hulk. If I remember correctly, Bruce Banner has already tried commiting suicide by shooting a bullet in his head. But he simply transformed into the Hulk afterwards and spit the bullet out.

Originally posted by Galan007

Not sure at which point Thanos is at right now, when it comes to immortality and all those things... but if it's a Thanos, who can die... then having his brain pierced might be the only thing to stop him. A pierced heart would slow him down for sure, but he would heal from it in time. Brain however? That's a toss up. He simply doesn't have Hulks healing factor. I dunno.

Hm. Not getting how you came upon and managed to relate the numbers here.

The logic of your scaling postulates that ASS's speed scales directly proportional to his strength. Has that been established? Super powers are kinda wonky (and I'm certainly not an expert), so I wouldn't be surprised so correct me if I am wrong.

Otherwise, wouldn't we need to assume that his strength and speed's levels are independent of each other and should not be quantified thru direct scaling from human levels?

As someone who can lift 200 quint tons a 500k ton key would weigh no more than a dust mote to him. But the speed to which he can throw the key would still cap out at the maximum speed he can move his arm. And even then, it should still cap out at below light speed (if we follow physics, that is, but since comics throws out physics on a regular basis, feel free to ignore this).

Seeing as Superman could move his hands at retarded speeds as well, I have no doubt that number reached would still be more or less crazy, however.

In comics, the stronger you are, the harder you can throw. Same way with punching.

It doesn't follow RL stuff.

you gave:

---

During the Vietnam War, there was limited use of the Lazy Dog bomb, a steel projectile shaped like a conventional bomb but only about 25.4 mm (1"wink long and 9.525 mm (3/8"wink diameter. A piece of sheet metal was folded to make the fins and welded to the rear of the projectile. These were dumped from aircraft onto enemy troops and had the same effect as a machine gun fired vertically. Observers visiting a battlefield after an attack said it looked like the ground had been 'tenderized' using a gigantic fork. Bodies had been penetrated longitudinally from shoulder to lower abdomen.

Yeah, physics is wonky in comics. Hard to figure these things out. How is the throw speed normally scaled? Is it directly and equally proportional like, can non-speeders with planetary strength throw things at near-light speeds? Wouldn't that mean that throwing things would be the most effective attack a super strength character could have (since if strength = throw speed then accelerating a heavy object would generate force equivalent to the mass amplified by speed) not to mention it would be quite undodgeable since it would be equal to his strength?

Ouch, makes my head hurt.

Since comics are so wonky with physics wouldn't max throw speed (especially those that would quite literally create strange physics-defying numbers) need to be "feat-based"?

I would apply "the stronger you are, the harder your punch is" to this, too. It's almost the same principle. So I think Darksaint's "how much stronger than a human?" scaling works to get a general idea.

I don't see, for example, Gladiator as being shown to throw something harder than the Hulk, even if physics says he should . Super-strength in comics has a...speed-force like behaviour.

Well we know that he has the strength to make 0.5 million ton (and remember, he did this with his fingers (which aid a lot in throwing)) key look like nothing.

And was able to casually press with one hand, 200 quintillion tons.

But mostly, he was lifting that key casually like you or I would lift a normal key. Hence my use of scaling.

My ratio is nowhere near double. The balance, the small muscles needed, the core etc means that I can't just do 180kg. It was more like 1.5 times.

To: Philo

I guess the difference between a comic-punch and comic-throw would be that (even tho it doesn't make sense physics-wise) that the super-force of the punch could be due to the "mass" generated by the super-strength. I know it doesn't really work that way, but I guess writers could use that to form some kind of plausible logical consistency to explain the force behind the punch (w/c would sometimes be portrayed to be at speeds that is still very dodgeable by even normal-speed people). Again, practically impossible to consistently apply any kind of RL physics to comics, so I guess I should just give up. :P

To: DS

I just feel that directly scaling strength to speed is quite a leap. Since there should be no relationship between the level of strength superman (unless, of course, there is and I don't know about it, feel free to correct me). Unless, of course the strength-to-speed direct conversion scaling is an established rule/standard here in these forums (don't really come here often, but movie forums is d-e-a-d these days).

Or the kind of forum this is.

Point of fact, with the Hulk we're talking about a being who has withstood small nuclear bombs, and with the Silver Surfer, one who has done that AND survived dives into stars. The members of what we call the "herald" class here at KMC are actually somewhat practiced in impossible feats of durability like that, and, where they can't entirely shrug off damage, tend to be good at miraculous healing or fast recovery as well.

Comboed? Frieza would never even hit him. Thanos would place him in a force prison take over his mind and kill him. DBZ is funny that way. Most of the characters have huge weaknesses to exploit by certain characters. Thanos is one of those characters. Anyway let's not derail the thread.

Average force is directly proportion to average acceleration. Therefore, under a constant (or average) net force, force is directly proportional to the square of velocity.


So linear ratios don't work.

Basically it should go like this
F1= k*V1^2
F2= k*V2^2

Divide the equations to get
(V1/V2) ^2 = F1/F2
Or V1 = V2*sqrt(F1/F2)

So the estimates of velocity should be actually LESS than what is given.

If we assume relativity then although the velocity wouldn't get higher than light speed the mass would increase where it would compensate for the velocity loss. So the kinetic energy assuming relativity would be the same as not assuming it.

So linear ratios don't work.

Basically it should go like this
F1= k*V1^2
F2= k*V2^2

Divide the equations to get
(V1/V2) ^2 = F1/F2
Or V1 = V2*sqrt(F1/F2)

So the estimates of velocity should be actually LESS than what is given.

If we assume relativity then although the velocity wouldn't get higher than light speed the mass would increase where it would compensate for the velocity loss. So the kinetic energy assuming relativity would be the same as not assuming it.

In layman's terms?

See what I deal with in Anime/Manga?

Calling him Batshit insane is being kind..

Hey, about the ass eating thing. It had two things attached to it.
1. LOB and those El's, or however you'd like to spell it... lol. Don't listen to that heathen.

2. All characters have their moments of failure, even the ones that have yet to fail.

Oh, and yeah, Anime belongs with Anime. Tenchi rules.

Just multiply by the square root of the ratio of strengths to obtain the new velocity.


Also
If relativity is not taken into account then the velocity would still be significantly over the speed of light.

If relativity is taken into account then the mass would increase to even more absurd amounts but the velocity would stay below light speed.

Personally I don't see any of these characters surviving a rock with the mass of a mountain (billion tons) thrown at them at even 100mph. Except Galactus.

Otherwise, average showings like Thing or Namor affecting these characters in the slightest with punches would be contradictory.
