I sometimes wonder if I should stand up for my cousin when our parents and grandparents mock her...unorthodox marriage. Had another of those "funny" family meetings today, but I decided not to intervene because she's a big girl and can take care of herself.
At the same time, I'm still her elder...
Supers can hurt guns if the author wants them to. Because you know, superpowers don't exist IRL, same with the rules of vampirism varying from story to story. It's not plot armor if it's an established part of the setting that many superheroes are bullet resistant or bulletproof (at least to...
The weak link is not the gun, it's the meat-based fire control unit holding the gun.
Meat is not perfectly mechanically reliable. It can fumble, it can miss. Meat doesn't have bug-free programming. It can hesitate, or make wrong decisions, or get overwhelmed by feedback and shut down. Meat runs...
Oh for sure. But by realistic physics, I mean with body armor, not invulnerability of some fashion. With body armor, you still have kinetic force, and even the best modern body armor will only stop up to certain calibers. Even then the kinetic force can still knock you down and break bones if it...
...Blake: "Old News. But you calling Professor Goodwitch 'mommy' on the other hand..."
Yang: "Hey, 'mommy' is not on the table!"
Jaune: "But you *did* call her 'mom.'"

Jaune: "Alright, I faked...
I mean Superhero setting throw realistic physics out the window. The moment someone shows up who can take a fifty cal to the face, You now have something to study to allow you to make better armor. It becomes an arms race.
And I agree. That's why I specified about the plot armor, too. There was a debate going on about how guns in the hands of normal gangers were useless in a setting with supers which was derailing the thread, so I made this here since everyone seemed to want to continue it.
Thank you for the great chapter, I love the Crimson World Wall power as its something that I have never seen before. Stay safe out there and keep up the good work!
That sounds like more of an issue of the author not wanting the story to end anti-climatically by someone getting shot with a gun than guns being utterly useless in a superhero setting.
Specifically Worm started this debate on another thread, but any setting with superheroes and supervillains. And more as a matter of averages. My take is they are, due to not every super being invulnerable or so fast they can dodge bullets. Even the ones that wear body armor are vulnerable to...
Yeah, it can vary depending on the power level of the supers and the overall tech level of the society you are placing them in. Some supers can just walk straight through a volley of bullets without a scratch while others can easily be killed by futuristic space guns.
It is not about killing more of them , it is about we had our little island base they didn't know of ,but after an act of kindness they know we are here and they are coming to kill us.
She pointed out that idialy she spread out tech while humanity didn't know about her existance. Now they will...
