Homelander "saves" Butcher from an explosion[]
Feat[]
Feat occurs here. Basically, Butcher detonates a bomb vest that he made with C4, and Homelander saves him before the explosion can get him.
Calculation[]
In the show, it's stated that Butcher used "upwards of 30 lbs of C4", or 13.6078 kgs.
Distance Butcher is from the bomb[]
Image 1
Butcher = 383 px = 1.85 mts
Butcher's head = 64 px = 0.3 mts
Image 2
Butcher's head = 185 px
Panel height = 545 px
2atan(tan(35)*(object size in pixels/panel height in pixels))
2atan(tan(35)*(185/545)) = 26.74 degrees = 0.65031 m
Introducing these we got...
Shock-front Velocity = 3514.89 m/s or Mach 10.28 (Hypersonic+)
Time of arrival = 0.00007 seconds
Distance Homelander is from Butcher[]
Image 1
Homelander = 472 px = 1.8 mts
Homelander's head = 58 px = 0.26 mts
Image 2
2atan(tan(35)*(object size in pixels/panel height in pixels))
2atan(tan(35)*(197/545)) = 28.407 degrees = 0.51 m
Speed = 0.51/0.00007 = 7285.7 = Mach 21.24 (High Hypersonic)
KLOL506's Edit[]
Head: 1.8 * (58/472)= 0.22118644068 meters
As per the ang-sizing section, the shortcut formula is:
Distance from point of view to object = object size * panel height in pixels/[object height in pixels*2*tan(70deg/2)]
Distance from PoV to Homelander: 0.22118644068 * 545/[197*2*tan(70deg/2)]= 0.43695025643 m
Speed= 0.43695025643 / 0.00007 = 6242.1465 m/s or Mach 18.2 (Hypersonic+)
Extra: Explosive Power[]
So, I also wanted to calculate the power of the bomb vest.
From these sites, it seems that 1 kg of C4 equals to 1.37-1.39 kgs of TNT, let's go with 1.38.
So, the 13.6078 kgs of C4 would equal to 18.78 kgs of TNT, which is Small Building level.
Results[]
Homelander outspeeds an explosion: Mach 10.28 to 18.2 (Hypersonic+)
Butcher makes a bomb vest: 0.01878 Tons of TNT (Small Building level)
