Are D.C. Higher Tier Alot Stronger

Sorry my calculations are way out (been a while since i was at school). It is roughly equal to 900,000 1 mega ton nukes

worked out as follows google the enrgy in megaton nuke find following url

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/MuhammadKaleem.shtml

energy of a 1 megaton nuke = 84 000 000 000 000 000 joules

kinetic energy = mass times distance
assuming supes moved the moon just 1 km I dunno i did not read the book

google mass of moon http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/AdaLi.shtml

moon mass 74 000 000 000 000 000 000 kg multiplied by distance in metres (1000) = 74 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 joules

divide the 74 000 000 .. etc by the 84 000 etc and you get 880,852,380.

anyhoo the case is worse for dc supes has only to use one billionth of his power to destroy a city. the guys a frickin nano surgeon of restraint

We are all aware that real world physics doesnt work in comics, arent we.

Otherwise Earth wouldnt last against many of the things we read about.

sorry my calculations don't take into account velocity the actual calculation for kinetic energy is half mass time velocity squared say supes was travelling the speed of sound then you need to multiply the energy used by another 45 thousand

HOW SAD AM I!!!! Enough of the physics (so sayeth former elementary teacher)

its called "willing suspension of disbelief"

it just depends how much disbelief you are willing to suspend or how well the writers can convince you with the "plausible" explanation.

personally i dont mind superman being able to kick hulk's (my favourite characters) arse. Vulnerable heroes are more interesting to me. I like the concept of a superhero with multiple powers like superman, but when he starts to move planets I lose interest

I totally understand. I just dont apply real physics. Nothing of what we read in comics, or at least 90% of them actually have a chance of being real.

When i read about Heracles helding the heavens, i take it for what it is.

A magical fantasy feat. With the great ability to marvel and "dream" about, but with no way for me to even -try- to contextualize "how" it was possible.

Just my point of view. I see where your getting at.

Im a bit of a statistics man. 🙂 I know it doesn't really make sense does it.

Mate can you work out how much strength would be needed to Lift that 150 Billion ton mountain. 🙂

sh*t i have set my self up now as science officer. 150 billion tons held aloft on hulks massive shoulders. this is a potential energy difference of:

weight in kilos 150 000 000 000 000 x hulks height in meters 2.27 x accelration of gravity 9.8 m/s 2 = 3 336 900 000 000 000 joules thats every second he holds it aloft. Reed richards concocts a plan 5 mins
("come on Richards this is getting heavy"
"shaddap hulk dont be so gay"
"WHAT OOH THAT MAKES ME MAD!! HEY NOT SO HEAVY NOW!"😉
is about 11 mega tons

I respect your point of view. And i hope you keep on enjoying the fanatsy. I like herc too cos hes a braggard, a drunken lout and a ladies man. i can just about cope with him tossing Godzilla ( gotta be at least an 8000 ton feat ). moving manhattan makes me wince a little. holding up the world in my mind counts as hyperbole.

your figures are still wrong but its ok 🙂

you need to think about inertia

The earths pull on the moon, the moons pull on the earth

the moons speed, the direction your moving it in -

good try though 🙂

yes these are approximations dude i'm a history major, not physics. the calculations are meant to aproximate a point that if super beings of such power existed on the earth they need to learn how to play statues cos there slightest movement could cause an earthquake or tsunami. adding in the graviataioal atraction between earth and moon only strengthens my point

By the way mass in kg is a measurement of inertia thus already included in the calcuations

so everyone agrees. that shoving around the moon makes supes ww and gl power levels quite ridiculous and unworkable as they would almost never be able to do anything with wreaking havoc across the globe
