Why You Don't Actually Want Super Strength! | Because Science w/ Kyle Hill 

You look like aquaman but without any muscles

Omitting Superman, you're right about pressure. But with Supes i think his unique way of grabbing things is explained by his supercharged bio electric field supplemented by his tactile telekinesis. I may be completely wrong about it all but i think thats how he bypasses the pressure issue. Superman isn't exactly physically strong, but rather an uber psychic. When he comes into contact with something his bio-field, aura, tactile telekinetic power or whatever engulfs the entire object and somewhat applies equal force to it. The more effort he uses, the more even spread the force is applied, which would explain how some super heavy objects deform to some degree but still retain their relative shape as Supes is lifting or pulling them.

Because Science what about mechanical exosuits (Deus Ex style) they can provide super strength but are super controllable

Because Science what if superman used presure for stopping the plane

I assumed you meant picking up in the middle of the car... You know like the illustration. Car jacks pick up one side of the car at a structurally strong point. You don't just ram a jack under and call it good. 🤣

Man ? U just said kid

@@team3gaming749 well Captain America is definitely stronger than even the strongest man alive today but he is definitely not nearly as strong as Spider-Man, Spider-Man can lift thousands of pounds when needed

The thing about Superman's strength is that is not just brute force, it involves his power to generate a bioelectrical field around his body and other objects

No... Saitama strength is optional😀

jason daniel barry I would agree but some wouldn’t.

Castiel Null cap can lift a max of 900lbs and spiderman can lift 20-30 tons depending on the series

this doesn't sound right though...shouldn't whatever I punch always remain in place if the reaction force is always equal to my applied force ? Like in his example if the normal reaction is 250kN which is the same as what I'd have applied,then the apple wouldn't move at all since there was never a resultant force in any direction so it never accelerates from rest...right ? I get it now

@@kingdribs9286 what do you expect? Comic book writers with physics degrees?!

@@VanillaMidgetSSBM no...I'm just tryna get how punching an apple with 250kN of force will result in that force being applied to me as well. I don't get how it can work like that

@@VanillaMidgetSSBM I've never expected movie physics to apply to real life...they make up half of it as they go

@@kingdribs9286 The reason it works is because the apple doesn’t have the same mass, if there was no equal opposite force you just wouldn’t feel anything, which why if you have ever punched or slapped an apple or watermelon it kind of hurts if you hit it hard enough.

Not just that. He's also a full fledged Saiyan and he is built as an absolute unit

Muffin button 😊

Or say something like an activation type of power. Or just a subconscious lock on that strength like what our bodies actually do to keep us from injuring ourselves

This reminds me of the Doctor Manhattan video. It is highly possible that Goku and Co. have glowing auras is because they are actually radioactively releasing energy at the time when they are "powered up".

Agree agree

I still think the humans and the steel train was a bit weak

correct

The "super strength results in murdering bad guys" explanation also makes the scene in Ep 1 have more verisimilitude. Omni-Man literally grounds the Guardians into a bloody paste. Super-punches result in super glory kills.

@@Kyleplaysgames567 Shame we cant bring in fighters from other fictional materials as a crossover to fight him unless........ quick get to the fanfiction mobile.

main concern is newtons third law if you hit something you also feel a little bit of pain because the object hits you with the same force if you hit an object with super strength you’d be buried to the ground

Same thing I was thinking. You would be able to control your strength no matter what with experience but at the beginning it would be hard

@@fermantgg7887 I'm sure if you have super strength your body would also adapt to that. I don't think someone is just going to have super strength with not good enough bones and tendons to support the strength, otherwise it's somewhat pointless to even mention having super strength.

@@fermantgg7887 The idea behind super strength is that it works similar to comic book characters - the durability that comes with the strength. I mean, human beings currently don't have a level of durability that equates to our potential strength levels.

@@fermantgg7887 I think it go something like this: because of super durability and invincibility. Only the hand is affected, the rest of the body is left unharmed. Think of it like fighting a guy on the street. You’re not being flung back when you hit him right? Your fist doesn’t hurt when you punch him, it’s the same with super strength. The hero isn’t affected by the aftermath because of his invincibility, so any force applied to him, does nothing, just how Superman cancels out bullets from hitting him. The force instead bounces off.

@@JoshuaValentine pretty much

I understand what you're saying, however if somebody has super strength I'm sure their bones and tendons would correspond to the strength. I saw someone saying Deku has this problem but that's because he wasn't born with this power, so his body naturally wasn't prepared for this since he's not supposed to have super powers. Just like using steroids you can increase your limit in terms of muscle mass, but your bone and tendon durability doesn't really grow the same as your muscle mass potential so you have imbalance in that department. This is why a lot of bodybuilders injure their tendons first before their muscle, their body simply cannot keep up simply because it's not supposed to.

Well super powwr ussually comes from the muscles being trained and therefore since the muscles are trained biologically speaking all the enzimes the body has and how strong they are it all also results in them being much mire resilient as with power comes resilience as well, theres no way that someone is incredibly strong without being resilient

​@@nicolae-alexandruluca7853I mean since we are on the topic about being durable you have to break a few bones to evolve 😂😂😂

This is exactly what came to my mind.. turns out he was probably onto something

No shit

He literally said that would happen he would fly right through it

Maybe but when he saved Butcher from the C4 explosion in the season finale, Butcher was disoriented but unharmed even though HL carrying him to safety at anywhere from Mach 4.5 to Mach 16 instantaneously would be fatal for a human being due to the immediate acceleration and immediate deceleration, not to mention the air compression as well. Homelander if he can do that, must have powers that either bend physics in his favor or he possesses a personal forcefield like Supes that allows him to pick up heavy thingies without them buckling under their weight due to The Wedge Principle and save people at breakneck speeds without them turning into burnt mush due to inertia. From that, I firmly believe that Homelander probably did know the physics but he still was too lazy and apathetic to at least try to save either the plane or the people in it. Plus Homelander’s excuse of having nothing to stand on to lift the plane cuz Maeve and him were in the air is a poor one cuz later in that scene, he is clearly hovering in the air, carrying Maeve.

@@MessiahMaster530wouldnt it be safe to assume her weight doesn’t require any extra force? Just how you an carry things around daily without exerting much force but if you power lift you need to exert much more with proper form.

Wasn't the local telekinesis more that a sort of film, like the one that envelopes his body making his clothes super resilient as well, covers the object in question so that it's not resting the entirety of it's weight upon whatever area he's grabbing?

Achyually

What if you just make you self be able to lift a ton insted of puting all tjose things

sure. But have you ever accidentialy broken something by aplying too much strength? I sure have. With super strength, you'd do it far more often. Just pulling on a door handle, expecting the door to be unlocked, only to find someone for some reason has locked it, and you have ripped that handle out of the door.

It's all about control...not so much only in dexterity, but mental control. Even a peak human body builder would agree that it takes great mental ability.

@@ajasen but their bodies are only stronger in certain moves. Plus a strongman is about 2-3 times stronger than the average man. Youd have to be bare minimum 100 times, thats 30-50x stronger than the strongest man alive. Brian shaw talks about how he has to be gentle with things because he breaks them so easy. Now imagine being at least 50x stronger. Yes there are different muscle fibers but the muscle fibers used are relative to your strength level. Like, have two people bench 135. Have one max 225, have another max 450, 135 i light for both, but 135 will always be lighter for the stronger person because his strength level is so much higher. You could use less than 100% of your strength and live a normal life but itd take extreme control. Cause even lightly exerting yourself would be the equivalent of 5000 lbs. Think, imagine how little energy you exert picking up 5-10 lbs. At 100 times stronger you'd be exerting 500lbs of pressure just by moving your arm, thats enough to shatter bones.

You are gonna use MORE than 100%.PLUS ULTRA

He's not assuming that. He basically explained multiple times that you'd have to *constantly* hold back and be *extremely* careful to not break everything and kill everyone you touch. Edit: And like people have already essentially said, it would take an extreme amount of precision and control to use things made for normal people...because the ability to shatter concrete would also translate to the ability to shatter bones effortlessly with a gentle movement.

Q

And the funny part where Krillin threw a rick a Goku and it hurt him.

​@@fullmetaltheorist that's show how much a genius DBZ Goku was. The rock hurting him is proof his training was working.

​@@Ai_Boss_ and also they use their ki to strengthen a substance that they hold like in baseball tournament episode. So while lifting somethings they can actually strengthen it to not go through it or distribute its pressure. But its just my theory so it might be wrong.

That’s after stepping off of the flying magical cloud.. Let’s be real, any apparent attempts to follow science performed by dragonball was an accidental one on Akira Toriyama’s part.

Nope no mind could sustain it :P

I have telekinesis

YES. My dream power.

xL0stKIlah says who?

So, instead of your arm taking the force of your punch, it would now be your brain. Not sure that's better... Action = Reaction. Doesn't matter if the force is transmitted through the bones in your arm or a force field generated by your brain, it's still the same force.

drew waters Ha!!!!!! Somebody get this man a pin for his comment!!

The infamous subway scene Also makes sense in The Boys when Homelander said he couldnt just stop the plane

Jesus. That scene was gruesome ash

Because who got the punch he got much more energy instantly And who gived he generated that energy (get longer time even if with 0,5mp) and Still he is in a stance so he can transform the energy into his legs and the ground! Also yeah there is opposite force but Still not the same sized object impacted! Some of energy not run out on that person who gived the punch! Even you can trick with your weight to transport into another part of your body! Like into the legs… and now your central weight is totaly different!

Well for one, Spider Man is a genius of Iron Man’s caliber, this already gives him the ability to think faster and more intricately than the average person. Then consider combat speed, Spider-Man has dodged lightning and dodged point blank bullets before. This, coupled with his Spider Sense giving him a warning every time a bad guy tries punching him, would make it plausible for him to easily and effortlessly dodge blows (relying on his spider sense heavily) while using his genius mind to calculate stuff.

Half of superheroes do not look big enough to support such strength

Exactly, we're talking about fictional stuff here. In the video he tries to scientifically disprove that specific type of super strength, but since is entirely fictional I could just write new counter measures

Hey there jax

!!YOU...you know the parameters of fictional characters as much as I do(and probably a lot more). Please explain it to Kyle, all the ways his math is off, the various factors that are missing in contemplating how Superman and Spiderman's powers work....please? Notice How he did not Cover Luke Cage's method of super strength(which is just a leveraging of the hyper elastic propertied in his mutate cells)? Kyle has no clue of how Superman's aura reinforces the structural integrity of his body and whatever or whomever he physically touches. In Superman returns, the moment he caught that airplane's right wing tip, his aura seeped around it, enhancing it's integrity, but the further from his body = the less reinforcement, and he was not yet fully charged up as he had just returned from Kryton(thus he was just getting his powers back into effect). Due to lack of solar charge, the distance from the contact point and centre of mass, the wing eventually snapped, so he had no choice but to catch it at the centre, which he did by grasping the nose. You can see the ripple of distorting force through the airplane as it comes to a halt, it was his aura straining to maintain integrity of the hull while he was applying the max force he could without squishing the whole thing(or having it splay open in an explosive manner). The only example I can not completely account for, is Spiderman's catching that cop car, without using webbing. It's a stretch to claim spidy's electron attraction has a secondary effect of spreading exerted force over a greater surface area than is physically contacted by his body, but I do recall Kane(a legendary clone in the Spireman comics) demonstrating just that as he tore down a building using the force of this electron attraction which is ordinarily just used for wall-crawling.-This makes spidy's wall crawling power very similar to Qi-manipulation...he does eventually learn a form of Qi-sensing as part of his training with Shang-Chi to compensate for his temporarily missing spidy senses. All of these fictional characters have very precise control over their use of force, thanks in part to altered states of perception in correlation to their use of force.

the most unrealistic thing about One for All is the force it generates only goes in one direction. When Deku flicks his finger in a fight it should be like an explosion going out in all directions not just forward.

Lin Yen Chin Good reasoning but only if the "aura" is a thing that is originally mentioned in the comics.. so is it?

Don't you mean he got... smashed?

Leg Hurt yes, he is stopping the creation of one punch man!

Ozan Erbektaş yep, his lack of speed force is quite concerning.

I swear someone said that all mutants warp reality to some extent.

The comics don't clarify this and decide to say "Quicksilver's mutation made his body be able to work for super speed, so everything in his biology is made to be able to work with that, and thus be able to do what he does" Okey.... But.... Where's the Gravity, weight distribution, momentum and well just really warping abilities come from? Is that a thing? Is that one of his powers? What do you say comics? -Comics: Nope. Nothing. He just is -So how the hell can he make such close turns, how the hell can he even run at super speeds? I don't care if his legs can move forward and backwards 300 times per second. Go do that on the floor and you'll be propulsing yourself rocket high faster than a bullet and or pealing the ground underneath you like a massive super fast fan hitting a mountain of sand. Does he have enough super strengths to beat the sht of the Juggernaut? Does he weight like 1300 pounds? How can he get hurt from a regular slow old school knife wound but be able to do all that shit? How can he carry people? Why doesn't he burst in flames or at least smoke when running? Flash gets a pass... because speed force. What ever that shit does but does Quicksilver have something like that? -Comics: Nope... At least I haven't implied it. -So how the fck? -Comics: .... bazinga

Fullest Auto well dc did the same thing too, tho. They just actually named the darn thing. It’s basically the same concept, the speedster violates all laws of physics and live a happy life. For dc, the power comes from the speedforce while marvel used the mutations. Both don’t make any sense at all but we still buy the dc one, so why not buy the marvel too. He he. But, to be completely honest, when they teased that quicksilver and scarlet witch were going to be part of the avengers movie, I thought they’d give an explanation as to why they were like that and how their powers came to be since mcu had a good track record for origin stories. Then, they just killed the guy and I was like, welp, guess they can’t come up with anything.

You'd have to properly plant yourself on a surface capable of taking the load of force. Or if you can fly then supplying sufficient flight push to keep you in place. If you don't then the pressure wave and force blowback from impact would send both of you flying because unless you weigh thousands of pounds won't have sufficient mass to keep you in place.

@@Stormkryptonian Great explanation.

In the comic/show Invincible marks dad says how his race is able to create their own leverage even while flying. It actually made fighting while flying make sense

@@Stormkryptonian it only works if the super hero who punched is stronger than the attacked hero. Just like human punching human. A stronger guy will always win. A stronger hero will always win. So the stronger hero will not move, even if he punched a submarine that weighs tons, that would be like a man punching a bag of ice. They don’t need to weight thousands of tons because their fists generate enough force to send someone flying without that same force being applied to them. That’s how I see it

Mr and Mrs incredible compatible for eachother then lol

Yes. For about 27 years. Why do you ask?

You are spot on... Hence why big strong lifters and body builders can't punch worth a damn... That's why a scrawny guy like me can punch harder than then... But because of their muscle mass they can lift far more than me. There are several different muscles and the human bodies motion is very complex. But we must assume that the ability to control one's strength is as easy as we find it... In dragon Ball super Beerus slaps Bulma... Earlier he flicked Goku with one finger in SSJ3 and sent him into a crater, but Bulma stumbles a bit... Clearly Beerus is able to control his work output.

Well, on a human scale, it's hard to imagine, but for a fictional super strong being, their punching force can also be attributed to the fact that their muscles contains a lot of energy. When they made a contact with someone or something, the titanic amount of energy got transferred this way. That's why a relatively slow superheroes (when compared to flying bricks), like the Hulk can punch just as hard.

Yeah but a big guy would kill you with judo. With super strength just throw people dont punch .

KidArk I think you miss the point... It's not about if I could beat up a big guy or not.

I think Density would more or less keep you from flying. There are somethings out there more durable with less density. For example spider silk is far more durable then steel, yet it's far less dense. But none the less that is a good question on durability.

Yeah, density isn't the issue, it's the material strength of the bones. Basically, in order to use super-strong muscles, the standard mostly-calcium bones would have to be replaced with something much stronger. Strangely enough, Wolverine's adamantium-laced skeleton is nearly the best-case scenario in comics for this, though he doesn't have super-strength (or at least, not nearly to the extent demonstrated in this video).

Good comment! But I do try to stay off MP's turf. Otherwise every comment is "Game Theory did it first." Trust me. -- KH

There is a reason that pretty much every portrayal of super-strength is accompanied with super-durability. Real-life competitive weightlifters have to be very careful when lifting very heavy amounts of weight. Not just from accidentally dropping them on a body part, but also from traumatic injury caused by their own muscles to their supporting bones, ligaments, and joints. I've seen photos of some pretty gnarly injuries caused by lifting more weight than the body's support structure can buttress.

@Because Science I understand, but I hope you don't let comments affect you too much -spoilers: they're always from the loud minority of douches-

There is a difference between loose and lose, you know.

Anvilshock Lmao you have no chill with the corrections ffs just understand what he meant and move on lol

You can imagine what will happen if you look for videos on youtube where one dude hits another with a huge bouncing ball

Wear some super friction shoes

I thought pretty much the same thing. What if your legs are super strong, so (assuming your legs are at the right angle to keep you from falling over or sliding away) the whole force applied to you just gets transferred into the ground?

I was wondering about why super-strong legs wouldn't help in that case too, we need Kyle to address this!

In TV shows and movies, they show people get electrocuted and get launched. That would caused by your muscles all activating, right? Also, I'm sure you would go across the room for you can't stop that force coming back at you. That is unless you found a way to keep yourself secure, but there's no question you would at least break your arm and your leg if it's stuck to somewhere

This is how I always imagined super strength would work. Extending your strength limit rather than replacing your level of strength application.

This is what I call psycho-metabolic and sometimes psychokinetic super-strength.

Guy from the Internet THANK YOU.

Guy from the Internet Like Bruce Willis in "Unbreakable".

I would say that would depend on the super strength. Not all forms are created equal, even within the same set of stories. There are versions of super strength which require an activation (Sugar Rush's ability in My Hero Academia, Strong Man in Marvel Comics), and while active, they would have less dextrous control. In many cases, you are probably correct, like Bruce Willis; character in Indestructible. He has the potential for super strength, because of his invulnerability, but he doesn't know about it until he has reason to try. And then he finds out he can lift several hundred pounds with only some effort, and no practice.

Imagine being too tall

@Luna I have 5 tiny humans and they manage to always be wherever I want to set my feet down

I can identify. I’m always worried that I’m going to break things I touch. When I was in technical school, I broke a metal crimper used to make Ethernet cables without even trying. My instructor handed me another one and said try again and this time take it easy 😆

It ain't easy being big.

K-kold Gaming Yea, I was thinking about that too. But in this case, explain Iron Man's suit... In real life it would just break all your bones when using those powers

true, but in the case of super strength. one would assume that if you could hit that hard, than your body would be able to take the force of it due to it being your own strength. now of course we could also look to one anime where the logical part of this is used boku no hero academia, the main character deku has super strength basically, but he doesnt have the "requiered secondary power" of durability.

Luca, the dude makes a suit that can fly faster than the god dammed jets, im sure he can invent somethink that absorbs those Gs

u think negative

Hehehe. 69... nice

Damn had to remove my like

Thank yooouuuu -- KH

Because Science

hahahahaha!

I don't get the reference... D:

*I understood that! I understood that reference...*

StrangelyAmusing like Goku!

I wanna know if super-strong jaws and esophageal muscles would make eating any more dangerous~?

StrangelyAmusing But with your super strength (and a metal box, maybe), you could compress large amounts of food so it would be easier to eat. Also, everything you eat would be like eating applesauce because of the massive strength of the muscles in your mouth. So, you could eat like 20 meals in one, eating 100 times more than normal in 5 meals instead of 3, because you are 100 times stronger (although that doesn't necessarily mean you burn 100 times more calories per day when you think about it). And actually, put on steel springs on your legs. You will be doing more work with less calories. So being stronger can make you more efficient so you don't have to eat much more than normal.

Ninja Hombrepalito Their stomach is the still the same size as normal. Capacity per meal is still the issue.

Rew Rose Assuming you had high density and resistance along with the strength then it wouldn’t be an issue like crushing your teeth. But your burps would be able to be compressed and you’d have cold breath if I’m remembering my gas laws. So you’d burp after eating and freeze something in front of you.
