V's Speed

Original calc by ThePerpetual all credit goes to them.

Remember the movie adaption of V for Vendetta? That scene at the end?

Yeah.Now, the distance ran is the easy part: We can see that he went to one side, then to the far end, then to the opposite side, almost like running three bases in baseball. But how far is this?

Mr. Creedy Height: 1.85 m

Distance from V: 2arctan (tan (70/2) x (214/800)) = 21.22 degrees

Angsize for Distance: 4.9379 meters

Use Pythagorean Theorem to get the length of a "side": 4.9379 / (squareroot of 2) = 3.4916 meters,

x3 "sides" ran: 10.4749 meters.

As for the jumps and slashes... hoo boy, counting all of those out was...

...

Fun.

But hey, it's for a good cause.

Let's tally up what I've counted: two 90 degree throws, an 180 degree throw, a 240 degree throw, seven 180 degree swings, two 240 degree swings, one 120 degree swing, one 360 degree swing, 2 raise-lowers (roughly one-half height each), and 2 stabs (one arm length each). Combined with his fancy flourishes, his moving over uneven terrain, etc., I'm pretty sure adding on an additional 5-10% (5% sounds for low-endy so sure) ought to be safe.

Hugo Weaving Height: 1.88 m

Arm Length: 1.88 x (3.5/7.5) = 0.8773 meters

Circumference of the Circle of V's Reach: 5.5124 meters

Adding all our "degrees up, we get 2820 degrees: divided by 360 degrees, we get 7.833 times the circumference of V's reach, or...

5.5124 x 7.833 = 43.1805 meters

Plus two stabs and two raise-lowers...

2 x 0.8773 = 1.7546 meters

2 x (1.88 / 2) = 1.88 meters

(10.4749 + 43.1805 + 1.7546 + 1.88) x 1.05 for miscellaneous motions during the time = 60.1545 meters of motion.

Timeframe: Now, this was "before they could reload", so there's a few I'll try out:

0.67 seconds: Assuming highly trained officers and readiness, able to reload very quickly.

1.0 seconds: Assuming decently trained officers and readiness, able to reload rather quickly, but still a bit spooked by V's "fancy karate gimmicks" (Most likely).

1.6 seconds: Assuming either subpar officers of being caught off-guard heavily, or fumbling with reload.

60.1545 meters / 0.67 seconds = 89.7828 meters/second

60.1545 meters / 1.00 seconds = 60.1545 meters/second

60.1545 meters / 1.60 seconds = 37.5966 meters/second

And if I'm going with the mid-end...

60.1545 meters/second, Superhuman

Luke Cage stops a car

2001 Chevrolet Suburban has a gross weight (including fuel and stuff) of 7200 pounds or 3265.865 kg.

Speed limits in those areas are usually pretty low at 10ish m/s, but Misty Knight is a cop and she was hurrying so I think it's fair to say she would be speeding at 20 m/s. Assuming Luke Cage stopped the car in a second.

3265.865*20/9.81 = 6658.24 kg, Class 10
