Black Bolt's power, in real numbers, please.

So, if Black Bolt screamed at the top of his lungs, what kinda power would he be unleashing? I would prefer an answer in kilo/mega/giga watts or tons. For reference, just One Ton of TNT unleahes about 4000 megawatts of power.

Also: since voice depends on sound waves, then obviously he'd have no power in space. But since sound travels better through water and rock than thru air, wouldn't his power be amplified? For example, since water is 800 times denser than air, would the answer to the first question mean that power would be amplified 800 times if he screamed underwater?

Who cares?

Why couldn't this just go in the Q&A thread? 😑

You're right, it shoulda. It's just that I was reading posts where BB apparently does quite well against the Hulk, and that just sorta threw me for a loop.

My next Q about him will be there.

oh cool

He's getting stronger for one thing. Still, in his earlier apapearances he was doing things like shattering a barrier that Skrull nukes couldn't breach and knocking the Hulk out with a whipser to the face. In a more recent appearance, he was being tortured in an attempt to make him scream. Moaning quietly in pain with his face pressed into the ground raised a whole chain of new volcanoes and created massive earthquakes on the other side of the planet he was on. I'm not sure what kind of force it would take to do that, but there you go.

Black Bolt is the man.

Tres cool. Next time Galactus comes a'callin', BB should just shout "Get the %#@$& away from Earth!"

Can I use fake numbers?

Where according to classic marvel his full scream is Cl 1000 which would equal a planet destroying blast.

Hmmmm... Let me try and put it into numbers.

Intelligence: 5
Strength: 6
Durability: 6
Stamina: 5
Speed: 4
Fighting Ability: 6
Mental Powers: 5(He has displayed telepathic powers in the past)
Energy Projection: 6
Agility: 5

Ask Doop. He has 7's all around.

He's alive you know. He'll be back and the Marvel U will be sorry.

Other than energy projection that sounds about right. But I'm not a hundred percent sure what it takes to qualify for a 7 rating.

Yeah I was pondering the energy projection stat. I know beings like Surfer and Warlock have energy projection listings at 7, but beings like Thor and Quasar have energy projection ratings of 6 which I thought was quite odd. I have the old marvel series trading cards that actually list mental powers and energy projection stats. Marvel Series #3 trading cards. Back in the 90's. Black Bolt's done some amazing things with energy, and it appears he can affect it in so many different ways, but I think he just not on the same level as cosmic beings. In the same league as Thor, but quite a bit out of reach from the Surfer.

Thats sounds like DBZ/Death Star type of power. 😄
