Question	—	Entropy, enthalpy, and energy through rapid mitosis So I'm pretty new to chemistry and all this, but my world involves superpowers, which of course involves immense energy to have the characters use these powers. However, I want to stay consistent with the laws of thermodynamics, so with that said, here's a specif example. I have a character who can ... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	What would happen if someone could remotely manipulate atoms? Those of you who are familiar with the DC Comics hero Firestorm know that he can alter the chemical structure of any form of inorganic matter, provided he knows the chemical equation. In my story, I want to make a character similar to this, but perhaps from a more believable standpoint. To be honest... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	Could it be possible to quantum entangle particles on a mass scale? So in the world I'm building, I'm considering to give one of my characters the ability to quantum entangle specific particles on demand. Now although for many years we thought quantum entanglement was a random and uncontrollable phenomenon, it actually turns out that scientists have been able to do t... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	Harnessing energy directly from the sun via quantum tunneling In the universe of my story, the Earth is ridden with metahumans with uncanny powers that do all sorts of different things. Of course, to do all this, they would require a tremendous amount of energy, greater than anything the human body can produce alone. So that got me thinking of what their energy...

Question	—	Science of Green Lantern and solid light constructs Many know that the Lantern Corps of DC Comics are capable of constructing objects of any shape or size out of hard light using their power ring fueled by their emotions. However, I'm wondering what the science could be behind this. Not exactly how they do it through their ring, but rather what actual... (more)	—	over 4 years ago
Question	—	How could a portable handheld weather machine work? Intro: As some of you may know, the character shown in this picture is none other than the Weather Wizard, one of the Flash's most dangerous adversaries. With the help of rod-like device in his hand (or his "weather wand" as he calls it), he can do just about anything with the weather, such as summ... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	What could be a plausible scientific explanation for a man who has skin made from rock and can manipulate the molecular structure of natural minerals? Okay, so I want you to think of someone similar to Clayface here, only he's not limited to just clay. What I got for him so far is that he was once an ordinary man until a cluster of specifically-programmed nanites merged his skin with rocks and other minerals in the ground. Obviously, human muscle... (more)	—	almost 5 years ago
Question	—	What could be a plausible scientific explanation for a man who can transform different parts of his body into different parts of reptiles? Laws that must not be broken and/or worked around: Conservation of energy Conservation of mass Square cube law Thermodynamics No FTL Essentially, I'm trying to make a character with similar abilities to Marvel's Reptil, but more scientific than mystical. The explanation I have for his powers so far ... (more)	—	over 5 years ago
Question	—	What could be a plausible scientific explanation for a man with radioactive skin that acts like a nuclear reactor? A bit outlandish, but here me out: I'm trying to make a villain for my story who's essentially like DC's Fallout in powers. Attribution: January 2015, dc.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout That being said, he would emit high levels of radiation from his body all around him, but still be able to walk, act, a...
