Question about lightning

[Marvel_Champion_07]

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

I think there was a similar thread like this, but I forgot which one.

Was it this one? I wanted to make a new thread since it seemed like a necro

 

[KLOL506]

Yeah, that one.

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Yeah, that one.

Be within melee fighting distance of the lightning source when struck

Thor was right up on the lightning, so should it be fine to give him resistance or its temperature?

Eh, now that I look at it, it'd be more sensible if that same lightning was struck back at him.

The Cap shield and the Sokovia scenes are better proof than this.

If an object is a good conductor of electricity, it won't heat up as much as a poor conductor. Air is a very poor conductor of electricity and gets extremely hot when lightning passes through it. In fact, lightning can heat the air it passes through to 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5 times hotter than the surface of the sun).

I think this means lightning doesn't heat up a human's body as much as air since our bodies are more conductive. Do you have a source on how much it can heat up a human's body by?

The lightning was an omnidirectional shockwave that travels upwards too, and Thor was directly on top of Mjolnir generating that lightning

The Cap shield and the Sokovia scenes are better proof than this.

Thor's shockwave on Cap's shield was described as a sonic shockwave, so I'm not sure. The Sokovia scene was accepted as lightning, so I guess that can work

Thor's shockwave on Cap's shield was described as a sonic shockwave

The script also mentions an implosion of light being created, I wonder if Thor withstanding that shockwave at point blank range could give him Resistance to Sound and Light Manipulation

"Implosion of light" doesn't mean it should be enough light to blind someone, so it probably isn't anything

Should be worth adding
