The ability to throw an incredible supernaturally powerful punch. Variation of Supernatural Punch and Megaton Strike.
Also Called[]
- Arm/Fist Martial Arts
- Dynamite Punch
- Enhanced/Power/Super Punch
- One Punch
Fiction-Specific Terms[]
- Earth Punch (Ninjago series)
Capabilities[]
The user is able to apply incredible force to their fists, enabling them to throw a superhuman punch. While this term has been used to describe many supernatural punches, the true megaton punch is packed with 4.18 petajoules of energy.
If delivered as an upper cut to the jaw of an indestructible 200 lbs. human, the massive kinetic energy dump would accelerate the target to over 6,000 km/s, exceeding escape velocity and launching them on a direction permanently away from earth.
Most targets, however, are not indestructible and they will giveaway or cease to exist before the full power of the punch is delivered. That megaton uppercut delivered to a typical 200 lbs. human would result in massive spinal damage, complete obliteration of the head, and still launch the body a considerable distance. The effect of a megaton punch is comparable to a directed nuclear explosion or a supernatural cannon. Users can punch through battle tank armor, smash down powerful fortress walls, and leave massive craters in the earth.
