Comment on Question for Marvel nerds: Am I overpowered?

Just to clarify, Mach 25 is roughly orbital flight. (The shuttle would begin its breaking turns at Mach 24, on the edge of the atmosphere where sound is the slowest.)
So, if by “overpowered” you mean “sound like someone who skipped middle school science.” The. That’s definitely a yes.
Just as a side note, do you know what happens When large meteorites crash into the atmosphere?
They explode from the pressure and extremely intense atmosphere heatings. And that’s at around Mach 20… (which, is why the shuttle does the breaking turns where it’s not so bad…)
