I would like to start a thread where we question and analyze certain aspects or superhero powers/comics

Just general questions that should be thought of considering the rules the certain powers have placed upon themselves

If you guys have real answers to these, please share or try out your own question

So they stated that cyclops eyes are some portal to a realm of (almost?) limitless energy. So if Cyclops looks up at the sky and releases his eye beams , when does it stop. Does that eye beam just continue going through space until it hits something? what if the beam just keeps avoiding crashing through something for lightyears and just hits a random being in a far off planet.

i don't want to keep this xmen related but

If the Juggernaut is standing still, and slaps his knee, does he pulverize it? wouldn't he just smack his own knee off his leg?

I'm not saying that he is moving his knee up, possibly providing energy that might cancel itself out with the knee slap. I'm saying that juggernaut is just standing still, slaps his knee (maybe to brush off dirt), and just sends his knee flying

it does vary. and it tops out at super suit, which is a tad below blob level unless you're a REALLY good engineer, which rhino's suitmaker aint.
>>
>>83586667
Just because you have an unlimited source of energy, doesn't not mean that you can access and use all of it at once. Having limitless energy just means that Cyclops can use his eyebeams continuously and won't run out of power; it says nothing about the amount of energy put out per second (and thus, the force of the beams being released).

Given that they emit light, there is some spreading effect to the eyebeams, even if the spread isn't terribly damaging. This means the eyebeams will lose power over distance, and there is no more danger of Cyclops accidentally destroying a planet lightyears away any more than the planet being broiled from being in full view of the light of the Sun.

>What OS does Iron Man's suits run off of?
Jarvis, a custom OS.

>>83586806

Physical harm is physical harm, even if it is self-harm.

I would assume that the conflict in his own powers would cancel each other out, treating Juggy slapping his knee equivalent to anyone else slapping their knee. Or perhaps both the power and the invulnerability just cancel or have no effect when he applies it to himself.

Custom, as far as I can tell. The AI involved and the functionality are well outside what Linux could provide. Plus, all indications are that it is installed onto a non-standard computer system - something more complex that just one-way circuitry - which means that Linux would have no way on working on such architecture, regardless of what modifications you made to it.

>>83589278
I'm pretty sure many if not most hulk stories include his radioactivity as a plot point. he's easy as balls to track because he's the hottest damn thing around, even if it's not to the point that it provides a public danger

>>83589351
Banner does give off low levels of gamma radiation. You could argue that his body is a nuclear reactor that starts pumping due to a chemical reaction of adrenaline and anger. Or perhaps the reason why no one gets sick around him or die from heat is because his body is exerting as much energy as he creates

>If Juggernaut runs into Blob, who cancels out who?
I always imagined it to be a similar situation to a hypothetical one that a certain guide book I owned when I was younger where Hulk was trying to rip Spiderman off a wall he didn't want to unstick from.
Juggernaut would ram into Blob, Blob would explode in a shower of gore, but his legs would remain firmly planted on the ground as Juggernaut runs by.

>e 'i am lying' "paradox" in that it involves thinking of words and concepts as in any way real instead of just ideas.
Concepts existing is in no way a paradox or anything remotely related to a paradox in any way.

My question is: what happens if the various super-powered people from comics give blood? Would a regular person gain temporary powers from getting blood from Clark Kent or Peter Park, or any mutant?
>>
>>83588935
Cap seems to be on par with everyone else who has take the Super-Soldier Serum, or things similar to it, so it probably just takes you to peak human ability, no matter how far you were from that before.

If Batman took it, the only thing it would really do is increase his stamina, for example.

>>83589914
Peter's given blood multiple times and Aunt May doesn't have superpowers so his aren't contagious. For mutants there was a bit in Morrison's X-Men where flatscans hacked organs and shit out of muties and used them to get powers but I don't know if it's been brought up since. So kind of somehow for Mutants.
>>
>>83589183
>How does the Hulk produce the energy needed to
>1) Hulk Out?
>2) become even stronger?

Canonically he absorbs ambient gamma radiation, which he can pull from anywhere in the universe into himself.

>What happens to the body mass when hulk reverts back to bruce banner?
Apparently the extra mass is from absorbed gamma radiation being converted into mass.

>Does the Hulk become heavier when he Hulks out?
Much heavier.

If their body is the result of a drug or serum, then the powers will transfer over. With people like Spider-Man or Hulk, powers will only activate if they have the "gamma gene", yes that's a thing. Blood transfusions from mutants don't work, they have their own blood type, didn't stop Angel from donating some of his since it has healing properties.

Logically, he can control his own strength.

>>83586967
I don't know his specific powers, but

If he controls his copies: masturbation
If his copies have individual minds: gay incest

If you create an independent clone, copy or such they cease to be you. You are now two different people.

>>83587243
Most of the time it wouldn't be useful. If he can remember the very specific moves he needs, he'd be able to do them anyway

Having him watch certain kinds of acrobatics or martial arts before a job would be a nice touch Marvel could do.

There was that one fan-fiction theory that the activation of the mutant gene is a standard biological occurrence, but it's activation somehow taps into the consciousness/personality/individuality of the individual mutant, literally through magical means
So powers are a manifestation not of the X-gene but of the individual's spirit

That depends on what the eye beam is composed of.

If it's kinetic energy or actual matter, Cyclop's just making objects his line of sight move away, which arguably means once an eye beam charged object leaves orbit it will keep it's trajectory until it crashed.

If it's something akin to light >>83588896 applies.

However if we add the fact that it's cancelled entirely by ruby quartz, any applicable law of physics goes flying out of the window. You might as well just say the punch dimension operates on different laws that could do anything as long as it's cancelled by ruby.
