something you overlooked at that first statement, iron man doesnt need to go from mk1 to 0, since both fighters are also at similar speeds, he just need to slowdown enough to allow them to pass him.
Genie - "What is your one wish?"
Me - "to be super fast!"
Genie - "very well"
Me - "YAY!!" Runs away, than turns to go another direction and dies.
morning bekfast bad idea since you wouldn't exist
@morning bekfast even if Jesus existed, he was tortured to death.
Thus begins Civil War month on Because Science! Over the next three weeks we'll be tackling some awesome moments from this fantastic film. And if you want more, let me know! (Also, yeah, I missed the leg of the "k" in "km" -- I wasn't even looking give me some slack.)
+Nerdist Oh, and I will remove and ban anyone who posts spoilers for the movie.
+Nerdist Maybe Steve and Bucky have a MILD regeneration ability as part of the Super Soldier formula?
I mean, this IS the Marvel universe, and even if the MCU can't use X-Men-specific characters (Wanda & Pietro being an exception being Avengers BEFORE being Mutants), it wouldn't surprise me if someone in the MCU had/was working with regeneration abilities around the 1940's.
Sure, we probably won't get an official yay/nay on THAT idea, but it's something to think about whilst Fox owns the rights to make X-Men films.
+Nerdist Why would you think that Cap's bones would be normal? If his bones were normal then his incredible strength would shatter them every time a muscle contracted.
+Nerdist , I know that there are plenty of essays and articles regarding the
subject, but could you possibly do a video about the amount of calories
the Flash would be required to consume? You know.. In order to not just
burn up.
+Nerdist Team Iron Man!
It's Thor talking about Cap and Iron Man... Hmmm.
This needs WAY MORE LIKES
Thankfully, Iron Man has a great big off switch sticking out of the middle of his chest.
+Ephemis Priest And...your comment has just been liked. :-)
Ephemis Priest lol, Foreshadowing much?
Ephemis Priest iron man has other power sources on his armor it used to be all dependent on the arc reactor but now even if you damage it the armor will still have power
It’s not an off switch
Roman Gaming Well I mean if he dies it’s a human off-switch.
Does the Human Torch actually need to breathe? I can't imagine there is much available oxygen for him to stay conscience.
It can be argued that physics are also different in comics
@@GabrielRodriguez-yr3md I guess, but it's cannon that Tony has some sci-fi anti gravity technology that makes his suit weight less, and prob helps with g-force too.
Tony Stark Is DOCTOR DOOM!
No really clones himself. Just saying.
Also real time memory backup in the armor. See above. Weird thing is pretty sure this is more or less Canon.
I swear, if this guy was Aussie, he would be Thor, there is no argument in that
Most likely his suits have an active dampening system reason because
*spoilers*
In Civil War Rhodey is knocked out of the sky but loser consciousness when his suit loses power. Now when Rhodey is flying obviously thats not a problem so the conclusion is that the dampening is an active part of the suit probably using some sort of dampening field within the suit to hold all his organs in place and to absorb shocks
+Cladyton Cortina yeah you are right but why is the most important part of the iron man armour exposed like that rhodey almost died because of that design and he lost to cap because he jammed his shield into the reactor. why could he have covered it with some sort of hatch
+Shanee Bahera well, in Rhodey's case, it was (*spoiler*)
Vision's weird super stone laser thingy.
Second, Tony doesn't need the Arc Reactor to keep the shrapnel from his heart anymore, as that was removed in Iron Man 3. Which brings us to the next point the reactor is now inside the chest plate itself, making it hard to cover up without a weird bulge, and it would block the unibeam. Further, I'd like to point out that Cap has been treated with the Super Soldier serum, making him stronger than a normal man, combined with his vibranium shield making a potent source of sheer kinetic power.
impossible
if iron man passes the sound barrier and comes to a complete stop and is immune to knockouts, and the flash runs faster than light and is seen to come to a complete halt as well, shouldn't the flash be immune to knockouts as well, if not more than iron man?
no since he slows down time for himself which means to him hes just running and stopping like u would normally
Kashfy Zul The Speedforce protects him. No thats literally it, thats the excuse people make. Same reason he creates less friction when running.
The flash controls kinetic energy on a subatomic level. And the speedforce allows him to do it without being a super genius. He is immune to being knocked out. He can literally phase through solid matter and/or make things explode by touching them. If he saw an attack coming that wasnt magic or didnt otherwise break physics (he's in a bad universe for that) then it cannot really hurt him.
dont quote me, but i think since he is on the ground gravity is already pulling him??????????
Well the Flash is dumb and Iron man is grounded to reality.
he was never knocked out in the whole movie
damn the suit is realy strong
+M0HAMED-GAMER XD Meanwhile, the Hulkbuster straight-up KO'd the HULK in Age of Ultron.
George Perakis thats some scary shit
Lol looks like Thanos IS that 1000x stronger than an average person
It doesn't matter how strong the suit is. Unless he has some freaky tech that can cancel out gravity and inertia, if you hit him hard enough to accelerate the suit by about 10g, even if the suit is completely undamaged, he's gonna die from acceleration injuries.
CMPLX16 he didn’t knock him out though. He just stabbed him. It doesn’t factor in the fact that he didn’t knock him out enough to make him unconscious.
Am I the only one that watches only "Because Science" on this channel?
I do the same ^-^
Nope
+BlizzardPixel I started with only "Because Science", but I really like Dan Cave and Nerdist News as well. They're cool and fun shows, give them a try! I tried watching Nerdist Play With Malik, but I don't really play videogames. He does seem like a cool dude though.
I only watch this series too
I do too
If you're arguing Tony Stark's superpower is a tongue that can wrap around his head, maybe that explains his overt sex life.
You missed the chance to draw woody woodpecker in power armor.
+superfun64 Now I really wish he had done that.
Dude or Thor (whatever your name is) I discovered your channel about a week ago and I have to say I instantly got hooked up with your in depth scientific point of view explanation of fiction-facts.. Keep this wondeful channel up it is source of immense fun but also knowledge.. Sincerely a fan of yours!
P.S. "The Iron Woodpecker", man imagine how big of a marketing flop this name would be :P
Still, that is a lot forces on Tony's head, but given that he created a recoilless energy hand canon, I figured that he just stood up inertia on a date and isn't answering his phone. Also, the Star Wars "lasers" are supposed to be plasma bolts that explode on impact. Or maybe that's just the bowcaster.
only bowcasters have a solid center "lasers" are plasma
These videos are the only reason i come to this channel, great vids Kyle!
+Kenny Ramdwar (Penguin Coffee) Thanks so much Kenny! -- KH
+Nerdist Now more SCIENCE!
I'm with ya there, Kenny. I saw a few of these, subscribed, and that's all I watch.
same
Until this moment, I didn't know this channel did other types of videos.
I hope you'll be explaining Scarlet Witch's powers this month :D
Yes!
Lol Good one. I guess strong electromagnetism "rays" with surgical precision maybe?
+Phelanii
Telepathy and Telekinesis? Anything else.
(Someone feel free to correct me)
Callum Shamwana yes, thise are some of her powers but those aren't real
walkin mn
isn't the entire show (because science) reliant of in universe logic? e.g the force in any star wars episode.
I personally think that the blaster get's around the knockback thing because instead of thinking of the blaster as "firing" something. The impact has no force what-so-ever like a laser, but the knockback is caused from a mini-explosion or shockwave from the material of the person being vaporized.
+Joey Enochs my thoughts exactly!
"Steve, superbone Rogers-... oh, don't call him that. heheh"
that part killed me XD
Awesomeness! Thanx Kyle(and Team) for taking the time to work this stuff out for us :D much love
I love these videos, because seriously, he considers everything
Me toooo, but sometimes, it's too short lol
i love these videos these videos because SCIENCE
+Tom Clark He didn't consider that Cap's bone would have to be enhanced just like the rest of his body. If Cap had normal bones the pressure from his muscles flexing would shatter them.
+Jaeric He kind of does at the end of this video
Wanjibon It seemed like he was more skeptical that his bones would be stronger and in disbelief about how Cap's hands don't break. However my point is that his skeleton would have to be extremely strong to accommodate his extreme muscular strength, even if he didn't regularly hit hard objects.
Kyle is my favorite from Nerdist
Iron man actually does have a superpower. His reflexes and reaction time are nearly instant and since his body needs to move for his reflexes he kind of has superspeed. But only in his arms.
What about War Machine?
Broken Jesuit same thing
war machine is in prison
interesting fact about G force: The mixed martial artist Bas Rutten had his kick measured and it showed his kick can generate 100 Gs
I screamed in laughter at "Hand Blast" lolol!
Science Thor, let your hair back down again, I don't recognize you in the thumbnails when it's up
Noo the beard😰😩why!!!! Keep the Thor within you
Ikr
+Zameer Nizam The first thing I thought of him with the beard was Westley from the Princes bride
ikr.
the new York City new Zealand and the kids are doing well and I am going on with your friends and I will be able the same time as a friend.
Steve "Superbone" Rogers.
I bet that's what Tony calls him.
Can we all stop for a moment to appreciate how good this guys are at righting backwards and without looking
The facial expression he made when he realized what he said was priceless. Steve Superbone Rogers. gg
Hey I thought itd be really cool if you did a video in relation to the possibility of how a Spacebridge from Transformers/ Slipspace from Halo might work
my brother-in-law brought up a good question that's PERFECTLY sciencey!
captain america's vibranium shield absorbs any amount of vibration... so why does it bounce around like a pinball when he throws it? wouldn't it just hit an object/wall/henchman's skull, absorb the force of the blow, and fall to the ground?
+abraham jurado I said the same thing! -- KH
+Nerdist whoa you totally did! just saw it on twitter! this HAS to be an episode soon! i'm just laughing now about cap having to go pick up his shield every time he throws it to a single guy. "time out, guys... stupid shield... okay, let's go!"
+abraham jurado I've heard that in one particular comic it is said that the outer edge of the shield is not vibranium, but iron or other common metal.
I theorized it bounced off because of the opposite force from the object he hit (newton's law)
+abraham jurado also its's made out of a vibanium alloy
you are to smart for a UA-cam show but I'm glad you're here
too*
+Mason Licona Thank you! UA-cam may not be the only place I'll be doing science in the near future, stay tuned... -- KH
+Nerdist Please tell us where to find you if you drop the Because science thing because I would still like to watch your show or video. Also what about Tony's MK 42 armor? I think he would run into problems with the shock resistance being that the suit breaks apart.
+Nerdist ill be upset if he loses the fight he took a hit from the thor who is many thousands of times stronger than cap but not quite as upset as i was when he beat the hulk which was ridiculous
+Nick Giotis lol get ready
Cap: "What are you without that suit?"
Tony: "I'm an wood pecker"
So about the knockback from a blaster bolt... if the bolt instantly vaporizes a bit of armor and flesh and whatever else you have the opposite force. The blaster bolt may have virtually no mass but the vaporized impact point has mass and travels away from the stormtrooper with good speed.
Laser ablative rockets use the same principle (I think they are only a theory)
+Aaron Reichert I remember researching something about this at one point for fun, and found that most blasters in the Star Wars universe actually fire superheated tiny projectiles. And that it isn't an energy weapon per se, but that happens to be the residule particles of the superheated tiny mass going through the air that makes it look like a 'laser' bolt.
Of course, that changes in The Force Awakens when Kylo Ren stopped that blaster bolt in mid-air, and we got a close up look at it.
Likewise, the Wookie bowcaster fires a larger projectile, hence the increased force behind the bolt.
Of course, all the lore and 'science' behind it changes depending on whose writing, huh.
Not bad but even if Iron Man could replicate something like that his human structure would still be weak against rapid neck torsions and changes in the blood pressure inside the brain. Simply put his brain is way to big and ill-conceived to that purpouse.
The helmet would also be weackened because you have to focus on a point of impact to acomodate all structures arround forces from that direction, so hits from the side or back would still be a really big problem. Also the need to make if flexible would increase the chances of it crushing under continuous pressure.
Ironically a human apex like Capitan America would be a far better candidate to use the armor than Iron Man, not only for the biological advanced but also training.
But hey, it's technology and comics, don't try for even one second to make sense out of it.
+Jamematen2 Well if memory serves me right, Starks weapons are repulsors. Hes basically shooting people round with something like an anti-gravity blast. Meaning he can easily be suseptible to the tried old inertia dampeners that have been used in science fiction for ages now.
+Grega Meglic I thought that the arc reactor created a super powerful self contained magnetic field within the suit that keeps Tony's brain in place when experiencing massive accelerating or deceleration.
Jamematen2 but what if iron man somehow created a device that negates force?
Like Vibranium?
Watch out for spoilers in the comments, just saying. Matter of fact watch out for them everywhere.
+Drake7000 I'm trying to delete and ban as much as I can. -- KH
***** Thank you man, I seriously appreciate it.
+Nerdist Awesome 👍
Thank you so much was about to read them
+Drake7000 Well, this time the Herp Derp for UA-cam extension REALLY comes in handy.
#teamironman

+Eko #TeamStank
IKMNification LMAO #teamstank
+Señora La Gata Esa someone saw the movie ;)
"Steve 'Super-bone' Rogers" xD These snippets at the end are gems! xD
The Siberia scene alone can't be used as an indictor of Tony's strength. He was triggered ( and I don't use that word lightly. As someone with ptsd, I hate when people downplay that ), it was the stress response. It wasn't 'normal' circumstances.
Steve "Superbone" Rogers. Nice
SURPRISE LIGHT SABER!
I laughed so hard when he said iron woodpecker. idk why
Yes you do. And so do the rest of us
In the end Question about the Blaster, "How does the blaster work?" It's not using Newtons Law, it's using Thermal Dynamics. When the Blaster hits it is atomizing the armor in that area when it hits which produces both the Armor penetration and burn mark but would produce an energy wave that would punch their armor and should thrown them.
There are a lot of really cool high energy laser videos on here that show it happening to some effect. (The Military ones not the backyard ones) all it would have to do is super heat the material faster than it could cool/melt. kind of like plastic/armor popcorn.
I liked the Inertial dampener explanation you had in an earlier episode where he uses electromagnetic fields to disperse the energy
Alternate explanation for how a blaster-bolt can blow a man back.
Heat of the bolt vaporises a part of the target and the explosive expansion of these gasses is the force moving the Storm Trooper...
Couldn't it work that way?
markotark But wouldn't you see the light,and sound effects of this explosion on Stormtrooper's armour.
the Explosion would be visible, but it is definitely possible! There actually has been some research into this kind of propulsion system: Shoot with a pulsed laser at an object to vaporize small amount of its hull so it can "ride" upon those little explosions. The tunking behind this kind of propulsion system: you dont need an energy source on the flying object. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_propulsion
Another explanation for the knockback would be: photon radiation pressure - but energy required to generate enough "light-pressure" would be so high that the target would much faster evaporate than beeing knocked back...
How do you know Iron Man stopped completely in that scene? Looked like to me that he just hit the "air brakes" and slowed down to let the jets rocket past him....not stopped.
can you do how much force is put into hulks smash for the next video
Bro great impressions..."My precioussss , I'll be back aahhhggggg!!!" Smeagol the Terminator, you are such a happy guy its awesome, nice job man. Big fan of the channel.
Hey can you talk about EVENT HORIZON? It's an old movie I know, but I've always wanted to hear about it on a more scientific basis and honestly the physics goes over my head
Could you please explain how does The Winter Soldier/Bucky's arm flex and work like a regular arm? If it is a robotic arm, wouldn't it need energy to work?
+Adam Cassem Does it use his body's own energy?
*Sigh of happiness* Finally! A show I can learn from and enjoy!
+Sophie Johnson That's the highest praise I can get Sophie, thank you! -- KH
***** :O you replied! Awesome! I barely see other youtubers doing that. Keep it up, I love your stuff!
I know! right!! :D
The iron woodpecker xD
Sarah Vittrup the iron pecker
about the punch question at the end, it only makes sense that a superhuman would be able to punch steel armor without repercussions.
I've done 10 years of TKD (a martial art that doesn't even focus too hard on punches in the first place) and through fist conditioning I am now able to put dents in steel-clad doors. There are ways of mitigating shock at the last moment with your body if you feel that your joints and bones can't handle it.
The Storm trooper could be thrown back by the ejecta of the explosion when the blaster bolt vaporizes the impact point on the armor.
What I would like to know is, how are Captain America, and Winter Soldier able to punch a full suit of Iron (or whatever) with 10x the force of a normal man, and not shatter their hands and arms in the process.
Increased bone density to go along with increased muscle density/tension/strength.
Dracomancer273
I don't think they have super muscles and bones. At least captain A doesn't. The serum only made it so cap is in top physical human condition, the most physically fit a human can be. Not super human. At least to my knowledge.
Comic-Cap is closer to being a top condition human than MCU-Cap.
While I can see a Deadlift Champion being able to briefly resist a helicopter that is actively trying to lift off (not just barely hovering for the oohs and ahhs of the onlookers), if you compare their muscle mass bulk to Cap's, there is no way he is just a person at top human condition.
Also, keep in mind that this was said by a doctor in the 40s. What was considered Top Human Condition then and what modern medicine/sports consider it now ARE different. The serum also somehow reflects your deepest personal ideals in how it reacts with you. It ain't no normal steroid boosted by magical radiation.
Dracomancer273
I'm just going by what I've read. Still nothing on boosted bone density ya know? I haven't seen civil war yet so the events you descried I have yet to see unfortunately.
Apologies for the minor spoiler
I'm watching thus after endgame, and I remember that scene where thanos totally did not knock stark out
So the NFL should just hire Tony Stark to solve their concussion problems?
+Clayton Baxter Yes, they should. -- KH
Regarding the last part: in star wars most blasters like han's or a standard stormtrooper are just lasers that burn through a person and destroys their insides, but some blasters or artillery in SW like Chewbaccas bowcaster actually have solid bullets ( or whatever it's called in star wars) that when shot are encased in blaster fire as well, giving the user kickback from the weapon as well as sending the target flying and very dead while still maintaining the look of a blaster bolt albeit larger.
Regarding the end slate - The blaster very well could cause a muscle spasm that would have the stormtrooper jump back instead of being pushed back.
The fact that you used the "g" as a unit of force is so frustrating, please stick with the SI units that are very easy to comprehend scientifically. I love this channel because you guys make complicated science very comprehensive, I just want to try to contribute to making that much better
+daniel sherman I never used "g" as a unit of force, but of acceleration. When I talked about forces, I used Newtons. -- KH
+daniel sherman Actually, I think g as a unit is much more intuitive, not least because of Kerbal Space Program, but also because I hear it way more often than Netwons in all contexts.
+Nerdist You should consider whitening your teeth. It really shows up bad with the lighting lol.
+WaterspoutsOfTheDeep lol
berkin1805
It's true someone should at least tel him lol. It's kinda embarrassing when your line of work is in front of the camera. His family and friends should have told him a long time ago if they actually cared because they look pretty damn yellow.
#TEAMIRONMAN!
how can captain America hurt iron man if his suit can withstand several nuke bombs
Jotaro Kujo Captain America’s superhuman.
with the thing at the end to do with han's blaster throwing back the stormtrooper - that could be down to the conservation of momentum as photons have momentum (without having mass) due to de broglie's wavelength
Simple answer: The Iron Man armor generates a repulsor field. Said repulsor field dampens G forces to human manageable levels.
When the armor loses power, it loses the repulsor field. Hence why Rhodes falls and breaks his back: his suit lost power and he hit the ground full force.
#teamIronMan
I liked the bid cause your team iron man
Vid*
Captain America doesn't have super strength. His abilities are the maximum a human can exhibit, but are not considered super human. So, he is stronger than any other human you'll encounter in the comic world. Like Batman, it's all training, grit and determination. That's one reason he's endured for decades. Kyle keeps referring to Cap having 5-10 times normal strength, but that not correct. Cap can bench about 1200 pounds. That's only a few pounds more than the world record inthe real world.
Love the series though.
Brad Smith comic book cap is not the same as movie cap. He’s referring to movie cap in this video
dude your videos are awesome and very informative keep up the good work I've been following you since the beginning and I've learned a lot about the science compared to comics
"re:boot" I died when we said that *CryEmoji* I know you imagined that shit lol
I wonder if he has to write mirrored or is the video just flipped while editing
I doubt he's a lefty, so yeah
Had to watch videos with him wearing button shirts to answer that. Seems they flip the video when he writes texts but leave it as it is when he draws and speaks.
+Mikey M Wow you really did your research :D
+Jtnawesome he sometimes writes on his
+Nuwbers Crazy left
I thought he cut off his hair
I already see the movie
Same
we have the power to spoil it for others😈
Same like captain America the winter soldier captain America civil war it came out in the UK before the US
+Nerdist Spoiler for Civil War. The Confederates lose.
+Nerdist TBH there is not much to spoil
They punch for a bit
On the blaster thing, it knocking back a storm trooper doesn't actually have to imply mass. You could also explain the force on the storm trooper causing it to fly as the blaster vaporizing part of the suit due to it being an extremely powerful laser and the high velocity vaporized ejecta causes the equal and opposite reaction.
@Kyle Hill In your video you mentioned that someone stronger than Captain America may / might be able to knock out Tony Stark / Iron Man but you did not mention his confrontation with Thor and the dent Iron Man received during their very first encounter in the first Avengers movie. I am unsure if you just forgot about their fight or perhaps I missed something. I just thought it worth mentioning in case you ever have the opportunity to update this video or make a new one that addresses the issue at some future date and time. Please keep up the fantastic work as your videos are most educational and enjoyable!
plot twist... iron man is a mutant
plot twist...he's an inhuman
+Jester93ish plot twist, the whole Marvel Universe is all a dream sequence in Batman's mind
+thick MclargeHuge and that sequence of BATMAN's dream is actually a sequence of a dream of the guy in the video...why? Because sci...uh uh ahem....BECAUSE HE'S BATMAN
+thick MclargeHuge plot twist : and the nightmare was bvs
tony stark's a mutant
kappa
+Purner Mathias in comic cannon, he is, he took a mutagen which allowed him to bond part his armor to his body, the summoned gold like under layer of his Extremis armor
that's much more plausible than the helmet doing anything...
+David Jackson, II Someone is a bit out of date.
helmet cant do anything ; if you want to be immune to KOs u need ur brain to be better attached to the skull
From the thumbnail I thought you cut your hair for a second.. Pfieuw x)
0:46 was away from the screen.. the first thing I heard was "Arial acrobatics and the JIZZ he pulls" lol
I may have an answer to the viewer question: When the laserbold is hits the stormtroper the hit spot heats up. The heat then causes some of the clonetropers armor, skin, and flesh to quickly evapourate away pushing The Rest of the clonetroper, acording to Newtons law, in the other direction.
What is your pen budget per video?
Team iron man ftw
Tony stank
The blaster can be explained by your other episode on Storm trooper armor, being that the laser causes instantaneous vaporization of the surface, so there would be a small explosion, probably not enough to knock him back that much though
Another great video. Re Ironman/Spider-man and G forces: you haven't factored in the use of camera zooms/pans to make flying/swinging characters appear faster/more dynamic than they actually are. It's like that popular misconception that opening a parachute makes the user rise upward.
so hes the iron pecker... he may actually like that name
+oldnotweak Iron Pecker VS Super Bone
who the hell is Bucky?
+Koby Lauer The reason I grew my hair out in the first place. -- KH
+Nerdist all you need left is a bionic left arm and a brainwash from Hydra
+Koby Lauer Go back and re-watch Cap 1 and 2... The second one is kind of named after him
+moongirl786 yeah, the line "who the hell is Bucky?" is from when the winter soldier loses his mask and steve sees him, and asks "Bucky?". that's Bucky's response
+moongirl786 ;-|
(ehem) you may be good at science, but you're surprisingly bad at math. If an AVERAGE boxer can punch at THOUSANDS of G's, and if Cap and Winter Soldier are HUNDREDS of times stronger, THEN they can punch at HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of G's.
Something to add to the blaster knockback thing at the end - if the shot had low mass or low speed, it could also cause knockback through an explosive force on impact as well :)
Just found this channel. I love it already. Subscribed!
can we just appreciate his skill at writing in reverse without looking and drawing a circle around his own head?
+Stephen Troyer It's pretty well agreed that he actually writes normally and the image is reversed in post. It looks like Kyle is actually right-handed and the reversal of the video leads to it appearing that he is left-handed. Think about it, he writes perfectly fine every time. While it's possible that a leftie could just write backward the whole time (it's believed DaVinci did this for all of his notes), the more likely and less complicated solution is that the video is merely flipped right to left.
But hey, that's just a theory. A UA-cam theory.
That is a good theory. Theorists for the win!
+Dragon Xero thaasnks for watching
The previous answer is too much reading work so i might repeat what was said already.
But i think he just flipped the video horizontally :3
heres something, can ironman fight Magneto with out being crushed to death?
thunderlord2200 I think he has developed non magnetic suits in the comics. On other occasions he has been destroyed by Maggy.
you're really r to smart for a utube channel u should have a tv show
+Jihajja Dixon Stay tuned.... -- KH
I didn't know that about the woodpecker! That's class!
At the end you discussed how Han Solo shot that Stormtooper so far. Well, he used Chewbacca's bowcaster and bowcasters shoot actual bullets unlike blasters. That is why (at least some people think) Kylo Ren was hitting his side in the forest at the beginning of the lightsaber duel.
team cap!
This is my favorite vid in this series! Love it!
This reminded me of some great conversations about comics. Great vid.
as to the han solo blaster question, blasters not fire lasers as it looks like, but a super gas that is heated into a plasma before being fired. hence why it's both slower than a laser and can knock back enemies (like a stormtrooper)
+Nerdist : Regarding a comment at the end of your video, maybe the blaster's laser creates a small, localized, explosion on contact with the stormtrooper. That explosion might generate enough force to push the stormtrooper backwards. I did some napkin math and the energy of the explosion would have to be something like 10kJ to 100kJ which seems like the a borderline reasonable number. Compare to the energy in a grenade blast (400kJ).
