Daredevil’s brain emits electromagnetic radiation (“radar”) that allows him to “see.” Assume that the “aperture” is the width of the portion of his brain that generates the “radar.” What are the limits of resolution for Daredevil’s “radar”?

Gambit’s mutation gives him the ability to charge inanimate objects with energy. That energy is released explosively when a charged object strikes a solid surface. If he charged a card for a full minute, using all of the energy from his body's metabolism, how much energy (in terms of “sticks of dynamite”) could he put into the card?

Nova has a uniform with life support. Make reasonable assumptions about the volume (based on the oxygen being contained somewhere in the costume) and the pressure (based on a reasonable extrapolation of the strength of materials available) and determine how long the costume could meet his oxygen requirements.

It is claimed that Gorgon can produce an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 on the Richter scale by stomping. Assume that the force of his stomp is equal to his weight and that his hoof penetrates the concrete to a depth equal to half that of his hoof. What magnitude earthquake would be produced?
