Invincible Heat Resistance Blog + Tech Jacket regeneration "upgrade"

1.- Heat Resistance

I managed to sneak in some time in my schedule to make this little blog explaining more thoroughly the heat viltrumites can withstand, expanding this bit of their Temperature Manipulation resistance

Resistance to Temperature Manipulation (Viltrumite atoms' ability to exchange energy with the background changes their temperature where needed, allowing normal bodily functions to continue even when the outside temperature is near absolute zero or as hot as the surface of a star[9]. In short bursts, they can withstand temperatures even hotter than the sun)

This is sort of a complement to this other thread, where bits of this were also accepted

2.- Tech Jacket regeneration

Tech Jacket's regeneration is currently Low, however, when looking at the Mid-Low section of the ability:

Mid-Low: The ability to heal wounds that would normally leave large scars, such as severe burns or deep injuries. For machines and vehicles, this would be regenerating damage that would normally leave large dents and openings.
Yeah

For a bit more support, the armor regenerated from being melted in the front

Should be pretty straightforward
 
I disagree with resisting the level of heat that kills them after a few minutes.

That's the thing though. If someone has an attack that can produce temperatures that high but can't sustain it for a few minutes straight then it wouldn't kill them. Therefore, it is noteworthy.

Dawg the temperature of the sun’s core is hot enough to vaporize a person in like a microsecond. If Viltrumites can face tank that level of heat and survive for minutes on end practically bathing in it, they have a resistance to it.
 
Surviving something is not resistance, this wants to give fire resilience to any burn victim who is not killed immediately.

If the burn victims are unaffected by the flames for several minutes straight then yes, they would have resistance. Their resistance would just have a limit like almost every ability in fiction. Also, the upper limit of Viltrumite heat resistance was already accepted before this CRT.

They were very affected the whole time, they just endured the notable burn injuries until it was too much. That Mark would have perished quickly without Robot's armor, and Thragg the very strongest viltrumite folded so soon, says poor things about applying this to the whole species.

It very much is, kind of the very premise of it.

Most people don't swim in it for minutes. If a person was completely lit on fire for the same amount of time head-to-toe, they like, they aren't surviving. If they do it's an actual miracle.
And it's all relative, all our ratings are in reference to a base human, if someone could swim through 400 degree flames for like a minute, and while burned, survive, fight while doing it, and take less damage compared to a normal person. We would in fact treat it as one, not a very good one but it would still be one.

This isn't true, Robot's armor let him survive longer than Thragg, not that without it he would have died quickly.

So soon? There was this whole other going on that Allen had time to deal with and then find Mark, shit wasn't just a few seconds.

And mind you, this also ignores the fact they can, and have, tanked said levels of heat, hotter heat even, in quick bursts.

Hit Mark with a 100,000,000c attack, and it would do nothing (based on the fact this has happened like, idk, thrice?), the caveat here is the fact it needs to be sustained over time, by default they have this resistance, it's just prolonged exposure causes some weird ***** atom shit that basically nulls said resistance, but if not done over time, it would do nothing to them, which, is very much resistance still (a normal person being hit with heat that can melt them for 1 second would still deal major damage, yet in this situation it would do nothing).

As for OP, add the glassing city feat, he was literally holding a bomb that vaporized a city, even actual nukes aren't that thorough when it comes to vaping shit.
Exploding planets also emit ten fucktrillion degrees of heat and they withstood that.
As a bonus, for the show only, Nolan being that close to a black hole which emit vasts amount of heat, albeit depending on the size would be like 65k at worst.
 
Also he doesn't say 10x, he says times the power of ten.
I wouldn't scale that to heat given he says power, not everything else, but that would be like a 6-C feat.

6-C??
Lightning generates 5 gigajoules of energy so depending on what energy measurement scale you use the result varies drastically-

Using Joules: (5e9)^10 = 9.765625e+96J (Universe level)
Using Kilojoules: (5e6)^10 = 9.765625e+66 KJ or 9.766e+69 J (Multi-Galaxy level)
Using Megajoules: (5e3)^10 = 9.765625e+36 MJ or 9.766e+42 J (Large Star level)
Using Gigajoules: 5^10 = 9765625 GJ or 9.766e+15 J (Small City level)
Using Tons of TNT: (1.19502868069)^10 = 5.93995677688 Tons of TNT (Large Building level)
It gets anywhere from High 8-C to 3-A 💀

I don't have a calculation for it 😔

Also, sorry to bother, but I wrote you a message, could you check it ? 🙏
Why do you need a calculation? Shit's a super nuke, obv gonna be nuke lv.

Anyway I'll grab a mod, I thought we already had one here but ig not.
 
The main goal of the blog is to give concise numbers of the heat they can withstand so people stop saying 'Heat gg'
Well yeah, just use nuke lv heat as a baseline.
 
Heat is such a nuanced concept in reality but fiction and this site alike seem to discard all cases as the same. Like sitting in 1,000,000C is not intrinsically better than sitting in even like 500C. The corona of the Sun is hotter than the surface technically, but the region has so little particles present that the thermal energy around you is actually miniscule (since temp is average KE of particled in a system - hope everyone knew that) compared to the surface and outermost layer. There's also the differences in melting/boiling points and considering specific heat capacity. A fictional character or metal may have a melting point of 1000C but be able to sit in a 10,000C environment, etc. Any push to explain Viltrumites burning up inside the Sun is ultimately kinda nonsensical, since plasma also exists in nukes and most other heat sources - Thragg dying to the Sun is like a building level anti-feat. But obviously comic writers, like Robert Kirkman, don't see it that way. Sun = A Star = strong>>>a planet is more than likely their internal reasoning without second thought for scientific consistency. Tons of shit like that in Marvel & DC like Knull getting vaped on the surface, Void getting vaped on the surface, Mjolnir getting melted inside the Sun, Superman being said to be the only high-tier/hero that can survive inside the Sun at times, etc, etc. It's all non-linear in CBs that it's better off not justifying it IMO.

Yeah, that is why being able to ******* die from heat in space is possible, of course if you have a space suit with broken thermal system. Also doesn't heat kinda pseudo ignore dura? Heat resistance and durability are difference, doesn't help how most fictions just kinda say that their superhumans have dura because outright vodoo type of thing.
 
Tech Jacket seems clear.

The heat resistance also seems good, so long as it's made clear that they do eventually succumb to such high heats.
