Anyway, I summarize my questions for your convenience! it was a compliment cobined with the standard physicist to engineer insults, seriously you're smarter then all bar three that I've work with.
 * 1) What happens when you're hit point blank with Mercy's weapon?
 * 2) How fast is Mercy's weapon blast?
 * 3) If Mercy's blasts are mainly concussive, why did the SUV tires rupture. Why did the SUV flip over, travelling in reverse at 15-20 mph?
 * 4) How long would it take Captain Cold to chip away towards the cash with that little pick?
 * 5) Determine explosive power of LexCorp detonation cord, and explain why Mercy was otherwise unscathed despite being blasted a fair distance
 * 6) Determine explosive power of Reach bomb, as well as type of material, reaction, and yield.

Yes when submerged, the nanites aren't submerged either ;)

1. What happens when a normal is hit by superman if he thre a full force punch at point blank range? same energy (more or less, i assume). Also not on saturday morning show, in real world it'd probably collapse the body inward and out the other side :s

2.i'd say a couple milliseconds, though cooldown associated with real world rail guns might have similar consequences, delaying it before next shot as much as it does.

3.concuusive forces can rupture things (spleen can be ruptures by a blunt force for example), SUV was probably rear wheel drive, stopping force at front, forward pushing force from rear wheels keep going, flips it no problem,

4. I refuse to believe the leader of the rogues is that incompetent in Earth 16, I'm holding onto the ice pick being a sonic/laser/heat emission device.

5. need to work out your other mercy question on it's force first, P=F/T :P

6. Alien, no chance of that beyond some theoretical physics I don't understand yet myself (might come back to this is honours/masters/forth year [currently first year]). But I'm leaning towards clean fusion (star style, solar anvil maybe?), or dark energy.
