Life Wipe Energy Requirement

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

How much energy is required to wipe out all life on earth with an explosion or Telekenitic ability? The instance I am wondering about in particular incinerated the surface of the planet to an unknown depth, would that be Multi-continental?

 

[Setsuna_tenma]

High 6A

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Based on what?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Wall level with global range

Not joking

Lifewiping isnt impressive when the things youre killing are weak as hell

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

I heavily doubt that. Just breaking a human neck or bysecting them is already wall level

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Also, there is life on this planet that is much stronger than that

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Even if you killed every human with a single joule (which is basically impossible since our own hearts beat for about a joule) it would be 7,000 times above wall level.

I think it could just be assumed as baseline High 6-A, for wiping out life on an entire planet with an explosion.

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Wait, snapping a neck is a 9-B feat?

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Wait, snapping a neck is a 9-B feat?

If you broke it completely, yes. As in, if you put your hands around a human neck, no technique used, and just closed your grip until the neck was broken, it would be wall level. There is a bit more nuance, but a calc group member should explain that

Also, decapitation is wall level

Thanks

Funny enough, when i finished the episode I learned she induced this explosion by getting an asteroid from shattering the moon so the life wiping explsion was just the fall out of the greater destruction lol

I'll have to make profiles for The Umbrella Academy show

 

[Sir_Ovens]

So what if I twist someone's neck until there's a crack and they stop moving?

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

Depends on how much you twisted. If you rotated their head like 180 degrees that might be low end wall level high balled, but i am not sure. I would check the common feats page

 

[Kepekley23]

Slightly above baseline 6-A for life-wiping, but the sort of stuff you specified (incinerating the Earth's surface) is High 6-A.

Is it baseline tho? Does the 180 petaton calc not apply here?

 

[Kepekley23]

Nope, definitely not. 180 petatons is life-wiping dozens of times over.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

With the right conditions you could life wipe with an explosion at far lower levels than High 6-A. 6-B with good placement could do the job, but that would be because of the after effects and not the original explosion.

 

[Iapitus_The_Impaler]

The explosion I was asking about came from a large meteor landing in New York, with some smaller meteors as shrapnel from that one landing elsewhere

 

[Kepekley23]

Meteor-wise, 6-A at best.

The dino-wiping meteor killed off the majority of life on Earth, and it was estimated at roughly High 6-B. A blanket "6-A" rating sounds good.

Wall level with global range

This is right considering no organisms on earth has ever reached 9-A.

 

[Kepekley23]

A mature blue whale's charge is well into 8-C, but either way, that's...an utterly false statement to say the least. (That life-wiping is 9-B with High 6-A range)

 

[Crzer07]

Blue Whale: Wall level to Wall level+ (Combining an average adult's weight of 100-150 tons and it's top speed of 50 km/h, its kinetic energy is from about 9645062 joules for 100 ton adults to about 14467593 joules for 150 ton adults)

 

[Kepekley23]

Huh. Guess I underestimated the 8-C cap. Though ~14 million joules would be right around the baseline for 9-A.

Still, the point stands. It's a completely inaccurate statement. Life-wiping is guaranteed to be tier 6, no matter what. To literally wipe out all life you'd need to vaporize the Earth's oceans. To wipe out the surface life even a multi-hundred teraton asteroid wouldn't do the job. It's guaranteed to be High 6-B, potentially 6-A.

the dino meteor wasnt life wiper, since most of linvings being survived it. If we take into account microorganism then its far higher
