    Are Lightning Feats 9-A or 8-C?

    Just thought of this. According to the Lightning Feats page, the energy in a lightning bolt is equivalent to 1.6 billion joules. People like The Undertaker are 9-A via their ability to summon lightning. However, when I convert 1.6 billion joules to tons of tnt, I get roughly 0.38 tons of tnt...

    Question about lightning

    Would Thor tanking his lightning in point-blank range qualify for resisting the temperature as well? His lightning is also shown to instantly burn Malekith's face, if that helps

    Force Lightning question

    I've seen replies in some threads that say Force Lightning isn't real lightning but electricity, so is Force Lightning still treated as real lightning on this wiki, or is it just electricity? I tried to find a concrete answer, but a lot of the threads were a bit messy for me to read. How would...

    ATLA Speed Downgrade: It Is Time

    https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Lina_Shields/Avatar:_Zuko_Blocks_Lightning This calc has been rejected for a LONG time, yet is still on every single profile as justification for Massively Hypersonic reactions and combat speed for the verse. This is a clear oversight from the wiki...

    About This Lightning Feat

    In the following feat, Johnny, Dukey, and their subatomic versions of themselves survive a lightning strike. Now of course, you might see this as your average lightning bolt, but I got some evidence here that might prove otherwise. The lightning strike burnt the ground, and the crew were...

    Lightning dodging formula looks weird

    The formula is telling me to give distance in m/s, but m/s is a measurement of velocity, not distance. Am I meant to convert it somehow or is this a typo? Sorry if this is kind of obvious and many thanks for the assistance.

    Speed Calc For This?

    Torami Houjou from the Asuka 120% series creates lightning for one of her supers, and whether or not it's cloud-to-ground remains a mystery, so that best thing to do for now is make a calc for it if it's possible. Could anyone help me out?

    Non-Cloud to ground Lightning Speed and AP above tier 8

    Okay, an issue came up in the KH revision thread about several found lightning feats not being cloud to ground lightning, however, it seems that to remain consistent with Electro pre-AP downgrade, just having an AP above tier 8 would make it be "strong enought" to qualify for MHS+, although this...

    How Strong Is Lightning, Really?

    Hey there. So, it is generally believed that lightning contains 1 to 5 billion joules of energy (VBW uses a figure of 1.6 gigajoules). If that's the case, why is it that the best AP feat lightning can do is 9-B, in that case, breaking trees?: I mean it could be 9-A if the tree was big enough...

    Dark Souls Speed Downgrade

    I never thought I would ever make a thread like this, but after looking over lightning feats on a bunch of our profiles I noticed a ton of versus scale to lightning when they shouldn’t. I’ll start with Dark Souls because it is a game I know very well and it has the most obvious problem. Pretty...

    Bibleman upgrade

    Bibleman can deflect lightning, which lightning is at least 1.6 billion Joules or a voltage of at least 100 million Volts, right? So he should be upgraded to 8-C
  12. KingEzran

    Zenitsu Upgrade

    Aight, this is going to sound a little stupid, but Zenitsu should be 8-C...because he's blonde. No, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDPZiHwPGQU If not 8-C, then in that case the tree wasn't that far from the ground, so you could at least give him a + or something. Yeah, but that's it.

    Lightning Bolt Destruction feats

    If a characters is capable to deflect or destroy a lightning bolt, does the character had to generate an AP comparable to a lightning bolt aka 1.6 gigatons of Joules? Example here, Goemon from Lupin III is able to slice a lightning bolt multiple times over to the point to shatter it, now while...

    Attack Potency of Natural Lightning Revision

    It has come to my attention that the attack potency of natural lightning is 1.6 billion joules, which isn't 8-C+. The issue now is that some of our profiles on the wiki scale to the old calculation, which was 5 billion joules. I suggest we change any and all profiles that have used the old...

    Would this be a proper lightning feat?

    This is something I've been juggling with for a little while, out of a desire to make more pages for The Witcher. The problem I'm facing comes from this scene. After juggling with it for a while, I've decided it would be best to ask and get some opinions on it. Now, let me explain what I mean...

    Lightning Speed in the Naruto Universe.

    I was seeing some calculations of some Naruto characters and I found one from Kakashi intercepting Raiton: Gian from Kakuzu, I realized that they had accepted that Jutsu was a real lightning, but they didn't use the speed of a real lightning from Narutoverse, and used the our universe, I wanted...

    Question about lightning feats

    According to the page for lightning feats, if fictional lightning displays some traits of real life lightning it is considered MHS. So how many traits are required? If fictional lightning displays 3 traits is that enough? If so can lightning that displays the shape of real life lightning and two...

    Rising Lightning?

    I was wondering, what would be the speed of lightning rising from the ground up, I guess it can't be Return stroke speed because it has to have a connected stream form point of origin to end where the electrons accelerate rapidly through a current. http://stormhighway.com/tower.php

    Would this be real lightning?

    I'm planning on downgrading speed in the Dark Souls verse and I wanted to make sure if this is correct or not. Would this feat be considered real lightning? https://youtu.be/A44uvRS_pWU?t=3798 I've been questioning it on whether or not it meets the requirements. It seems like a cloud of...

    Question about light beams and lightning bolts

    1) If an attack is stated to be a "beam of light" and be made out of photons, is that enough to justify it being deemed light speed? 2) On the Lightning Feats page, it says that the average lightning bolt contains approximately 1.6 billion joules of energy. 8-C. If a character can create...

    Is tanking lightning bolts a reliable feat?

    Say a Character A summons a bolt of lightning that is proven to be authentic lightning that is comparable to lightning bolts in the real world, which generate 1.6 gigajoules of energy, or 8-C. And Character B tanks that lightning. Does this mean Character B necessarily gets 8-C durability...

    Lightning approximately energy

    In this page it says that the energy of a Lightning is 5 billion joules, i have some problems with this vallue.

    Lightning Feats

    How can I know which lightning flash comes back, which has 1/3 the speed of light? Can we spot this kind of lightning in a play? Does he have differences between them? Or needs to be clearly said?

    About lightning feats

    When do we count a lightning in fiction as real? I mean we have the page which explains but it doesn't explain much when it comes to requirements. I'm asking this since there's no lightning speed in Naruto's Raiton jutsus (or at least in the majority of them) and I wonder how many requirements...

    Skypiea Arc Lightning Feats

    While this discussion was done in the past, i think that it was never properly debated or even ended with a definite debunk or confirm. So i have decided to rewatch the Skypiea Arc and i have concluded that there where indeed plenty of lightning dodging feats during the arc, too many for be...

    Regarding our Lightning Standards´-

    This has been talked about casually, but never really discussed in detail. Anyway, it's long overdue, so let's get it over with.

    Some evidence for Force Lightning (Canon) being real lightning?

    Marvel Comics speed scaling

    Alright so in Darkanine calculation, he calculated Storms lightning, and Ant said that the 5 second timeframe is good enough. The 5 second timeframe gives a result of Mach 7902.671 (There are other Mhs+ feats from other characters in Marvel characters) Now the problem is this would scale to all...

    Lightning's Return Stroke

    Rules Regarding the Speed of Electricity

    Okay, so its about time we got around to making a rule for the speed of electricity. It was mostly agreed on here and here that electricity with AP comparable to that of natural lightning should be treated as moving at a comparable speed as per this formula: As well as the Drift Velocity of...

    A question about lightning and electrical devices

    A question: Isn't the reason why natural lightning is swifter than the currents in real world man-made electrical devices, such as tazers, simply due to the far greater voltage and energy driving the discharge? If so, shouldn't attacks using electrons that are at least as powerful as natural...
