First post, so forgive me if there are any errors
I recently saw an Alex Mercer VS Cole MacGrath thread on ComicVine where someone calculated the total heat and damage of Cole's prolonged Lightning Storm. Here's an excerpt:
Nuke is about 83,333,315.56 Celsius (50,000,000 to 150,000,000 Fahrenheit hot)
In 1 second, there's 30 microseconds of a terawatt
In 30 microseconds, there's enough heat transfer of around 30,000 kelvins (53,540 Fahrenheit)
Sun on the other hand, outer surface is around 6,000 kelvins (10,340 Fahrenheit). Core of course is around 15,000,000 kelvins (27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit) but we don't care about that
1000000 divided by 30 equals to 33,333.33
That would mean one second of Cole's prolonged Lightning Storm equals to about (33,333.33 x 4) 133,333.2 times the heat of the sun
Appetizer = 1 second = 799,999,920 kelvin (800,000,000). That's more heat than a nuke in one second. By now one second of this you'd be dead
Not done yet. At maximum, Cole can prolong a Lightning Storm for 10 seconds if energy is full. Ionic Storm is usually just around 4 seconds
Side Dish = Ionic Storm/4 second serving = 3,199,999,680 kelvin (3,200,000,000). That's 3.2 billio
Buffet = Lightning Storm/10 second serving = 7,999,999,200 kelvin (8,000,000,000). That's almost 8 billio
Eat all you Ca - Karmic Overload + Lightning Storm/30 seconds = 23,999,997,600
That's 24 billion kelvin
(End of excerpt)
Are these calculations correct? And while we're at it, I have a few questions of my own
The average lightning strike peaks at 1 terawatt, but these strikes only last 30 microseconds (as said above). The terawatt is equivalent to one trillion (10^12) watts. And according to Wikipedia, a single bolt of lightning carries a relatively large amount of energy (approximately 5 billion joules or about the energy stored in 145 litres of petrol)
Now, if we applied real life logic, how much heat and energy would a 1, 4, 10 and 30 second prolonged lightning strike actually have? And what would that mean in terms of Attack Potency?
Thanks a quintillion
