Suddenly, Supers!

[Agemegos]

As I understand it the Cosmic Energy does not bring with it the entire cartoonish physics of the comic books. Superpowered punches will kill people — crush their heads or sides or rip right through them — including supers whose powerset happens not to include superscience toughness. Superstrong characters attempting to lift big things well within their strength will instead tear through them or tear chunks off them, drive their own feet into the ground, or overbalance and fall — outside of the funny pages strength doesn't negate the need to keep centre of mass above area of support.

Some of the rather horrid early mistakes will result from people trying to apply naive Aristotelean physics and ideas they got from comics and special-effects movies to a much grittier setting.
