Family Guy Upgrade

[Coolboy6]

Peter Griffin and co should be 8-C for Surviving cloud to ground lightning along with Chris, which is 1.6 billion joules based on our lightning feats page which is 8-C

Should hopefully be a fairly simple upgrade that should affect all characters Peter Griffin scales to

Pretty sure not all the electricity was being sent into him by our current lightning standards. In fact, I’ve been hearing that surviving lightning can actually be done by normal humans since they don’t take the full strike, just a part of it to a point where it’s within the tier 9 range.

I'm just going to send this here:

The energy of electricity can directly be calculated if its current and electrical potential difference is known.

If the current is a ampere and the electrical potential difference is v volt, then the power of the lightning is given as a*v J/s. Usually 1 second of this is addressed to the AP, unless the electrical flow couldn't be sustained for that long.

It should be noted that for real electricity enduring a lightning strike usually doesn't require durability equal to the lightnings full energy. There are two reasons for that:

1. The lightning will usually take only a certain path through the body. Along that path there can be strong burns, but the rest can be largely unaffected.
2. The lightning doesn't discharge its entire energy in the human body. It will usually also heat up the air and pass on into the ground where its energy disperses. The amount of energy lightning produces in form of heat when flowing through is largely determined by the objects electrical resistance.

Due to this, and possibly other factors, it is for example possible for humans to survive being hit by lightning, even though an average normal lightning contains approximately 1.6 billion Joules. The energy of secondary effects that lightning might cause, can in some cases fully apply on the other hand.
