Cyclops

At 15.0 meters, Cyclops most intense blast impacts an area of 1.50 m² with a pressure of 3450 kPa.  How thick a piece of steel plate could he puncture if he fired from a distance of 0.60 meters?

Torch

If the Torch has a caloric intake that of an active athlete, how long could he sustain his flame from one day’s caloric intake? Assume that Torch’s cells produce the same number of Adenine Riboheptaphosphine molecules per molecule of glucose as normal cells produce ATP, but that  hydrolysis of ARHP has a ΔG two and one-half times that of ATP.

Flash

Using real-world estimates for the coefficient of friction between his feet and the ground, how fast could the Flash run a quarter-mile?  Assume that the limiting factor for his acceleration is the force parallel to the ground that his feet can apply.

Crystal

Using kinetics, explain how Crystal’s power of pyrokinesis could function. Her power allows her to control oxygen molecules so that fires ignite spontaneously or extinguish spontaneously.

Iron Man

Iron Man’s armor stores energy by converting both the energy of the beta particle-portion of the cosmic rays that reach the earth and also sunlight into stored electricity.  If the armor is recharged for exactly 24 hours, how high could Tony Stark’s armor take him and also safely return him to earth?

Adamantium

Research the literature and propose a specific mixture (substances and proportions) for an iron-based alloy that would have adamantium’s properties of great strength, very high density, and paramagnetism.
