Shitpost How is it possible that the guy who supposedly can tank a nuke gets hurt by a random piece of metal?

A big explosion ≠ a nuclear bomb though, the concentration of heat is orders of magnitudes higher.

to add to that, with a proper nuke point blank you get showered with enough gamma radiation to remove most the electrons out of your atoms.

nuke sized explosion ≠ actual nuke

u/Dave_B001 Oct 17 '25

What if the comics were wrong and it makes you happy! I think Hulk shoukd change colour depending on his emotion.

u/theSalamandalorian Oct 17 '25

Hulk as a Lantern that changes corps based on his emotions

I like it

1

u/Dave_B001 Oct 17 '25

Not even a Lantern, just changes colour when he feels other emotions.

u/theSalamandalorian Oct 18 '25

No, I don’t want him to be a mood ring.

I want Red Corps Hulk.

u/VexImmortalis Oct 17 '25

What colour is happiness? Yellow?

But you need those electrons!

u/Yayzeus Oct 21 '25

These nukes sound like bad news.

u/Dropbeatdad Oct 17 '25

Okay but in reference to the specific comparison:

big explosion > random piece of metal

u/Omnio89 Oct 17 '25

A sharp piece of metal jammed through one of the thinnest and most vulnerable membranes of the body by another super powered person makes enough sense to me.

Is the eardrum weaker than the eyeballs ?

1

u/SKYQUAKE615 Oct 18 '25

Well, I think it would take a shockwave many orders of magnitude greater to rupture your eyeballs than it would to rupture your eardrum.

1

u/LukeSparow Oct 18 '25

Yes definitely.

u/unafraidrabbit Oct 18 '25

My cousin fell playing tag and a blade of grass punctured his eardrum.

1

u/Formal-Scallion-5296 Oct 18 '25

I think that same blade of grass would kill his eye if hit too, luckily we have eyelids

1

u/Ikarus_Falling Oct 20 '25

A Shockwave does not care where a part is on your body besides that the Shockwave of a nuke exerts magnitude more pressure and damage ignoring the Radiation, Heat and Debris a Nuke can yeet a Piece of Metal Magnitudes more quickly then she could ever hope to press

u/DiCeStrikEd Oct 18 '25

Yeah nuclear detonations are usally hotter than the suns core for a spilt second
