IN SUPERVILLAINS

In ‘Dark Avengers’ (2006) #611, Sentry performs an energy projection feat. At Dinosaur, Colorado, Sentry intervenes to rescue the Dark Avengers from the Molecule Man. During the battle, Sentry demolecularizes Molecule Man.

How much energy projection does it take for Sentry to demolecularize Molecule Man?

SENTRY DEMOLECULARIZED MOLECULE MAN BY DESTABILIZING THE BOND ENTHALPY OF HIS BODY COMPRISING 7*10^27 ATOMS.

SENTRY GENERATED THE EQUIVALENT OF 1094309379.56 JOULES OF BOND ENTHALPY, ENOUGH TO DESTROY A BUILDING.

ENERGY PROJECTION FEAT:

Sentry demolecularized Molecule Man in order to force him to restore the Dark Avengers and the people at Dinosaur, Colorado. In order to calculate the energy projection, we will calculate the bond enthalpies of the proteins, fats, carbohydrates, salt and water found in Owen Reece’s 63.5 kg body.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

Sentry demolecularized Molecule Man. This involves separating the covalent, ionic and hydrogen bonds between Molecule Man’s proteins, fats, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and salt molecules.

We use “Chemical Composition Of The Human Body” to find their percentages.

Bond Enthalpy Of Palmitate In Human Body = (208000 J/mol)(1 mol/256.4 g)(70000 g0.16) = 9085803.43214 J.
Bond Enthalpy Of Protein In Human Body = (1500 J/mol)(1 mol/12100 g)(70000 g0.16) = 1388.42975207 J.
Bond Enthalpy Of Glucose In Human Body = (9546000 J/mol)(1 mol/180.16 g)(70000 g0.01) = 37090364.1208 J.
Bond Enthalpy Of Salt = (760000 J/mol)(1 mol/58.443 g)(70000 g0.06) = 54617319.4395 J.
Bond Enthalpy Of Water = (458900 J/mol)(1 mol/18.01528 g)(70000 g*0.62) = 1105520424.88 J.

The total bond enthalpy in Molecule Man’s 63.5 kg body is found from the total bond enthalpy above multiplied by the 63.5 kg/70 kg ratio.

Total Bond Enthalpy In Molecule Man’s Body = (63.5 kg/70 kg)(1206325300.3 J) = 1094309379.56 J.

ENERGY PROJECTION

Sentry demolecularized Molecule Man by dissociating all the bonds in Molecule Man’s 63.5 kg body.

Sentry generated 1094309379.56 Joules of biochemical energy to demolecularize Molecule Man. Sentrt had to generate a Continent Level of Energy Projection.
