NimrodS (plural) getting phucked over by the mutants:

Omega level Cyclops confirmed

lol

THE TOUGHEST X-MEN EVER!!!!

This begs the question... -Pr-, are you still so salty over how Marvel has treated Cyclops for the last 10+ years that this doesn't bring a smile to your face?

How it started: Nimrod casually beating Juggernaut, off panel.

How it's going: Cyclops could always destroy his shell(strange, for an adapting learning super robot), and is the toughest X-man of all time.

Ran billions of fight simulations and in each one, the last X-Man standing was.... Cyclops?

I love Scott. He's my favourite X-Man. But bro, your simulations are bugged.

^ Shush you. Let -Pr- wank in peace! uhuh

Maybe they'll quietly reveal in a couple months that Doug or Darwin or Sage somehow put a virus in those simulations so that Nimrod wouldn't be prepared for the actual haymaker.

In other news, I think that means Storm flew from Earth to Mercury?

Lorna is slightly confused there. She refers to the phenomenon of a moving electrical charge creating a magnetic field as the Lorentz force. In reality, the Lorentz force law describes how the electric and magnetic fields affect a (moving) electric charge. Whereas the phenomenon in question was not the fields affecting charges but the opposite: moving charges affecting (creating) a magnetic field.

The law that describes how a moving charge (more precisely, an electric current density) generates a magnetic field is known as the Maxwell's Fourth Equation, more precisely its special case: Ampère's law. That is the law she should've referred to.

And what the heck are these 'positive' and 'negative' magnetic fields Magneto and Polaris are talking about? By Maxwell's Second Equation, magnetic field has zero divergence: there are no positive nor negative sources of it (IOW, there are no magnetic monopoles).

Random mutations in your DNA giving you control over the entire EM spectrum: Magnon sleeps.

Negative magnetic fields: Real shit

Just wait till he finds out about Captain Cold and temperatures below absolute zero... 😂

I'm glad Superman admitted that during his fight, at the end, his punches were like dead weights, he was tired, not getting stronger, had nothing on the tank during the last stand with Doomsday, before dying. Thanks Supes for confirming this...

So which is it? Is Superman killing Doomsday with nothing left in the tank? Then why can't anyone else replicate it - Dead Martha Wayne, Uncle Ben's corpse, Aunt May etc etc?

Carver, hello!

Hmm. Negative absolute temperatures are, actually, not that absurd.

In fact, just last Monday I applied a 20-microseconds long, 500 MHz radio-frequency (RF) pulse on a cooled water sample sitting in an 11.7 tesla magnetic field using a Fourier-transform (FT) NMR spectrometer. I set the RF pulse power so that the pulse generated exactly a 180° nutation (i.e. inversion) of the nuclear magnetization of the hydrogen-1 nuclei (i.e. protons) in my H2O sample. This had the effect of inverting the populations of the two proton Zeeman energy levels (proton is a spin-½ particle, so it has two Zeeman levels, referred to as the "spin-up" and "spin-down" levels). This population inversion is equivalent to inverting the absolute temperature of the proton spin system.

The resulting absolute temperature of the 1H spin system of my cooled water system, persisting of the order of 1 second, was:

T = -275 K.

Yeah but it wasn't cold, was it? Captain Cold is....well, cold

True, negative absolute temperatures are not actually "cold" but "hot". This is an obvious error in the comics.

so below absolute zero is actually possible IRL?

Yes, but only in a very limited sense. The energy of the system must be bounded from above. No real material is like that as a whole, but some part of it can be. The experiment I did only set the hydrogen nuclei of my H2O sample internally at -275 K; the other degrees of freedom of the sample remained at +275 K i.e. slightly above the normal freezing point of water.

The experiment I did is well-known in science, and very easy and fast to perform -- assuming you have access to a modern $1million NMR spectrometer or an MRI apparatus, of course. In fact, achieving negative absolute temperatures in nuclear spin systems is one of the "basic" examples given at Wikipedia, see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature#Nuclear_spins

There's nothing particularly impressive in the resulting water sample: for most intents and purposes it'd feel like water at +275 K (since most degrees of freedom of its water molecules would remain at that temperature). Theoretically it'd feel ever-so-slightly hotter than that, but in practice the difference is unobservable.

quick, someone give Nostradamus a fancy lil monocle or something

IT'S ALL CANON.

Human Porcupine was from 1962
Human Octopus was 1959
Human Flamethrower, Elasti-man, TurtleMan - they're all PreCrisis.

Also, WW is not the mightiest hero. Lol@DC going out of their way to emphasise that.

Edit: Also, Zha-Vam is PreCrisis as well.
