User:Taser Lad/Marvel Comics: Spidey and Thing tank Ultimate Nullifier Blast
Introduction
In Original Sin Issue 1, The Thing and Spider-Man fight against a Mindless One and manage to defeat it. However, The Mindless One then pulls out the Ultimate Nullifier and shoots himself in the head with it causing an explosion which both characters tanked without too much damage. I'll be calculating how much Spider-Man actually tanked (because Thing has much greater durability).
Part 1: Actual Explosion
It is mentioned that this explosion destroyed 5 city blocks and from what we can see in this panel it sounds about right. One city block is 80.4672 metres so 5 of them equals 402.336 metres.
W = 201.168^3*((27136*1.37895+8649)^(1/2)/13568-93/13568)^2 = 654.277837925695363429 Tons of TNT.
Part 2: Distance from Spidey and Epicentre
Half Spider-Man: 115 pixels (0.86868 metres)
Mindless One's Half Body: 140 pixels (1.0575234782608696 metres)
Spider-Man: 62 pixels (0.23672058394160583 metres)
Mindless One: 320 pixels (1.0575234782608696 metres)
Panel Height: 395 pixels
Distance from POV to Spider-Man: (0.23672058394160583*395)/(6*2tan(70/2)) = 0.76117251827771 metres
Distance from POV to Mindless One: (1.0575234782608696*395)/(6*2tan(70/2)) = 3.40045548926236 metres
Distance from both: 2.6392829709846497 metres
Part 3: How much Spidey tanked
Spider-Man's Height: 1.73736 metres
Spider-Man's Weight: 76 Kg
Surface Area: 1.93 / 2 = 0.965 m2
(654.277837925695363429 tons of TNT) / (4π((2.6392829709846497)^2)) = 7.474470541281448880433 tons of TNT
7.474470541281448880433 * 0.965 = 7.212864072336598169617845 Tons of TNT
Large Building :|
Spider-Man should definitely upscale from his because ultimately he wasn't too injured from this explosion. Sure he's knocked down but in the next page he just gets back up no problem.
