User:Taser Lad/Marvel Comics: Spider-Man dodges Lightning

Introduction

Not much context needed. In Amazing Spider-Man Issue 500 he fights Electro and dodges his lightning. I decided to try and calc this feat because it looked like Pete and Max were pretty close to each other. So let's get into it.

Calc

Electro (half height): 373 pixels (0.9 metres)

Spider-Man (also half height): 724 pixels (0.89 metres)

Panel Height: 948 pixels

Distance from Electro and POV: (0.9*948)/[6*2tan(70/2)] 6.94545701139966 metres

Distance from Spider-Man and POV: (0.89*948)/[6*2tan(70/2)] = 6.86828526682855 metres
