Zergrinch wrote: Heh. Gravitophobic eh? Alright then, I have a couple of follow-up questions:
 * 1) If the scarab is gravitophobic, the explosion at Kord Industries would have blasted it skyward, and since it's unaffected by gravity, it will continue to rocket upwards until (a) air resistance causes it to grind into a halt or (b) it hits something. Yet, Jaime finds it a few meters from the building - in the parking lot.  How would you explain this?
 * 2) Blue Beetle's armor is susceptible to mystic energy, as proven by Aqualad in Darkest. Why would an ultra-dense material be so weak against such an esoretic form of energy?  Or is it merely a conflict between energy pouring out of two parallel universes?
 * 3) A comment, not a question. You say that the scarab can't be drawing from the host because adenosine triphosphate provided by the body is insufficient.  However, the scarab is inorganic, and need not specifically use ATP as fuel, right?

Ranking in orer of ease to address...

3. Well ATP's the primary energy production of human body, other then burning hydrocarbons or causing fusion to occur (which would quite rapidly deplete Jaime's mass) can't think of too many other ways of making plasma.

2. Interference would require some understanding of the energies' nature. Pretty sure that anti-particles/energy the only thing that should fully cancel out particles or energy, only found in universe of origin (this is strangely familiar to kryptonite on other universe kryptonians (ie nothing) from what ive read). What I think is moreso that magic can sort of go beyond physical limitations such as density (which is why it affects Kryptonians as I understand it).

1: I knew this point would be raised but hey, entirely new concept thesis based on completely unknown theoretical particle, definately going to go with theoretical physics instead of experimental :P. However it's actually explainable within this phenomena by the pressure gradient of air, it's more dense then air so would sink in the fluid which IS affected by gravity needed for a pressure gradient (air is a fluid). Basically, imagine upside down state underwater, throw a balloon, less dense, pressure gradient pushes the ballon upward in what would essentially be a parabolic path. I say upside down because it is NOT gravity causing the motion, only the gradient. This is reverse with the Scarab.

Hows that? btw do respond to the answers, even just feedback on believability, some of em take quite a bit of working out. I mean this one basically required a thesis proposal
