Introductory Superhuman Physics, Period 4 [12-2]

[notanactualfairy]

"Good afternoon, class," Jean-Paul said. "I hope you enjoyed your days of gluttony and then greed. Today, you will have noted on your syllabus, is devoted to 'other.' We will be discussing any superpowers physics can take a crack at that have not been covered previously. For instance, a young woman of my acquaintance can walk through walls. This is one of the few superpowers I have heard genuinely explained using physics: she weakens the molecular bonds in her body and in what she is touching to allow her molecules to pass through unmolested. Very interesting stuff. Now I open the floor to you and any superpowers you might know of or manage to dream up that we have not covered this semester. How do you think they might be accomplished?"

Jean-Paul got the memo on Kitty Pryde, so he was careful not to mention her name or get too specific.

Brainstorming goes here. Maybe even literal brainstorms....

Gavin had no such superpowers but man, if they could recreate that power through tech, it'd be priceless.

"That would be astral," Ben whispered. "Jedi can't do that."

"Neither can pilots," he said, shrugging. "It'd definitely handy and advantageous."

"Unless you fell through the bottom of a ship," Ben replied.

"Which I wouldn't do," Gavin said with some certainty. "I have better balance than that."

"Would it be about balance or concentration?" Ben wondered.

Re: During the Lecture

Gavin thought about it.

"Balancetration." That wasn't a word.

Re: During the Lecture

[momslilassassin]

"That's not a word," Ben said.

Re: During the Lecture

"It is now," Gavin declared. "I've just made it a word."

"That thing where Bitterwoman spins around and her costume shows up out of nowhere?" Francine suggested. "That's a cool power. Not one of the ones that saves the world all the time, but still, cool."

Re: During the Lecture

[momslilassassin]

"Is that how it works?" Ben teased.

Re: During the Lecture

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Gavin wasn't sure. "Why not, right?"

"I think most of them would just wear their outfits under their normal clothing," Teddy replied, not speaking from any experience.

"Usually, yes," Jean-Paul agreed. "Which is no fun in August, let me tell you."

"And leather is a horrible idea for the summer too," Teddy added.

"But what if you have armor or a..." Francine did some motions that would, ironically, be wasted on both of the other people in this conversation. "A breastplate thingy. That'd be hard to hide under your clothes."

"Well..." Kate was so much better at this stuff. "You could look into making it less noticeable?"

And lower cut.

"Kevlar-Nomex comes rather thin, these days," Jean-Paul said. "And a lot of the people wearing actual armor are magic-users of some description, or else...eccentric." He meant crazy.

Re: Discuss

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

"Not all magic users are eccentric," Teddy muttered under his breath.

Re: Discuss

[notanactualfairy]

"That is not what I said," Jean-Paul pointed out.

"Yeah, sure..." You got a bit touchy when your ex-boyfriend and former teammate's kinda mom was Wanda Maximoff.

"I think being able to change yourself into looking like someone else is really cool." Momoko piped up. "And it's useful if you're trying to get into someplace you're not supposed to be or just to cause chaos in the ranks!"
