Power Girl stopped Grundy’s body slam with both hands. We will estimate Grundy’s strength from the crater formed on the ground by his body slam charge.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

In order to estimate Power Girl’s strength, we need to calculate Grundy’s body slam power. Per our calculations, in order to destroy 1 meter squared, it would require 0.00482625482 Tons of TNT. Let’s calculate the TNT needed to destroy a 3 meter radius area.

Tons of TNT = (0.00482625482 Tons of TNT * pi*3 m *3 m)/(1 m2) = 0.13645914018 Tons of TNT = 136459140.18 Joules.

SUPER STRENGTH

Power Girl generated 136459140.18 Joules of work with her body slam stop. In order to stop the body slam, Power Girl had to generate a City Block-Level of Super Strength.
