Speaking of, just how fast is Tara exactly? For example Burton, being a "Hyper evolved" peak human and not superhuman can react in anywhere from 80-110 miliseconds and can physically move his limbs at about 35-40mph. For comparison your average human can react in about 220 miliseconds and on average trained individuals throw punches at 27mph. So definetly faster than "normal" humans but not really in the range of superhuman.

Well think Captain America for Burton. Basically imagine olympic-level speed, strength, flexibility, and endurance enhanced.Camicon wrote:Northern Dominus wrote: Good thing she has a distraction now.

Once her powers are fully manifested, I set her limit at just barely being able to dodge a bullet, traveling 1000m/s, fired twenty meters away, dead center at her chest.
The equation would be 1000m/1s = 20m/'X's . X would end up equaling 0.02s (or, 200 milliseconds).
Meaning she can move roughly 100m/s from a standstill. This translates into 360kph.
Assuming a reaction time of 0.01s (or, 100 milliseconds), this means she can move at a top speed of roughly 720kph.
Like I said though, that's once her powers are fully manifested. Most recently, I think I had her travel 50m/s, which would be half her top speed. I've also established that her abilities, like super-strength/agility, only seem to manifest when she isn't thinking about them (her agility more so than her strength, which I've been writing as her more or less having control of, if not reaching her fullest potential yet).
For the purpose of Burton's demonstration, however, she won't be moving with any sort of enhanced speed. So her reaction time and such would be somewhere between 'average trained individual' and 'peak human ability'. Say... 150 milliseconds, and... 30mph punching speed? Her only real advantage over Burton is going to be her balance/flexibility/agility (Olympic-caliber gymnast, and all that). And her strength, if they end up grappling.
And on the topic of her super-strength, I believe I said somewhere that Tara's max weight would be double peak human ability? I planned on calculating that by doubling Captain America's max strength/weight/whathaveyou (800lbs x 2 = 1,600lbs). Before the timeskip I had her bench pressing double her bodyweight (200lbs), so by now she'd be up to... 350lbs? Around there.

And if she's superhuman she had better to be able to bench press a helluva lot more than 350 pounds, the current standing record is 1075 lbs by Ryan Kennelly.

That's an equipped bench press. The record for unequipped bench press is 715lbs. Besides, her super-strength first presented about ten days ago, IC. It's not at full strength yet. You should also note that Kennelly is almost triple her weight, and male.

But...super strength....
Still she would have to be stronger than Burton to qualify, and by my estimations Burton would be able to bench about 675-700 multiple times unequipped

That's one reason the students are wearing weight vests. To give them that strength training. By wearing the vests while depopwered they have to exert more effort to execute moves at speed, and therefore they build up muscles.Corrian wrote:I don't really know the limits of 'bench pressing' and what equates to what, but Cassie probably can't even do 50 pounds

You're better off than me. I don't know what bench pressing is.
Actually I probably do, I just don't understand what bench pressing means, which is different.

Actually, fifty pounds would be about the amount that Cassie can bench (considering her accident, and all). An untrained, healthy, adult woman, weighing 100lbs, should be able to bench roughly 50lbs. Here's a chart.
And, Zarkenis, a bench press is as such:
1) Lie on top of a bench, on your back.
2) Behind and above your head should be a stand, on which rests a long bar with an equal amount of weight at either end.
3) Lift this bar up, and move it until it is above your chest.
4) In a controlled manner, lower the bar, and raise it, without arching your back. Do this as many times as you feel comfortable.
5) Replace the bar onto the stand.
Congrats! You've just used a bench press.
Of course, there are different types of benches you can use, to isolate specific muscles in you chest and shoulders. And there are different techniques to do the same. But that's the general concept of a bench press.
