ORION
NEW EARTH

In Countdown To Final Crisis (2008) #2, titled “Darkseid Equals Death”, Orion performs a super strength feat. On this day, Orion comes to Metropolis to fulfill the prophecy and kill Darkseid. At the end of the battle, Orion rips out Darkseid’s heart killing him.

How much super-strength does it take for Orion to rip out Darkseid’s heart?

IN THE ISSUE, ORION RIPPED OUT DARKSEID’S HEART FROM HIS CHEST.

RELEVANTLY, DARKSEID CAN WITHSTAND THE NEGATIVE GRAVITATIONAL FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE ON THE SOURCE WALL. THOUGH WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH POWER DARKSEID’S HEART GENERATES, WE CAN ASSUME DARKSEID IS DURABLE ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND A UNIVERSAL-LEVEL ATTACK.

IMPORTANTLY, ORION GENERATED 8.477*1071 PASCALS OF SHEAR STRESS. ENOUGH TO SHATTER MULTIPLE GALAXIES.

SUPER STRENGTH FEAT:

UNIVERSAL

Super Strength: Universal 83%

Orion ripped out Darkseid’s heart killing him. We will calculate the shear stress necessary to rip a 15 cm radius hole in Darkseid’s chest in order to estimate Orion’s super-strength.

DARKSEID’S DURABILITY

In Superman/Batman (2004) #13, Superman uses a Boom Tube to travel to the Promethean Galaxy. There, he imprisons Darkseid on the Source Wall. In the DC Universe, the Source Wall used to lie at the edge of the universe.

In Superman/Batman (2004) #13, Superman imprisons Darkseid on the Source Wall.

We will use this feat to estimate Darkseid’s durability.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

Since it took the Source Wall to stop Darkseid, his Durability has been rated as Universal-Level. Let’s calculate the gravitational force that Darkseid can withstand. At a speed of 73000 meters per second, the universe has a kinetic energy of 5.329e+61 Joules. Properly speaking, the total energy is zero since it is canceled by its negative gravitational energy.

Gravitational force = F = W/G = |-(5.329e+61 Joules)/(6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg22)| = 7.9895052e+71 N.

Using the Omni-Calculator, we calculate the shear stress necessary to rip a 15 cm radius hole in Darkseid’s chest.



Shear Stress = 8.477*10^71 Pa .

SUPER-STRENGTH

Orion generated 8.477*10^71 Pa of stress to rip a hole through Darkseid’s chest. Orion had to generate a Universal-Level of Super Strength.
