>Waterbenders' powers wax and wane with the phases of the moon, even >though the moon is STILL THERE when it's new, it's just that the side >of it being illuminated by the sun is facing away from the planet, and >bending ability has no correlation to actual exposure to moonlight, or >it wouldn't work indoors or during the daytime. Similarly, >firebenders' powers stop working entirely during totality of a solar >eclipse (I would assume the same happens to waterbenders during >totality of a lunar eclipse), even though nothing whatsoever actually >HAPPENS to the sun during a solar eclipse, and again, it's got nothing >to do with sunlight, or firebenders would be powerless indoors (which >is entirely not the case). Which rather suggests that the whole thing may or may not be psychosomatic, in a fashion similar to some versions of Martian pyrophobia. Not saying this is true in UF, of course. >(As an aside, bending really annoys physicists, firebending most of >all. The other forms of bending can just barely be explained as a >kind of super-specialized telekinesis (even though it isn't really), >but firebending violates conservation of energy and mass. Fire >is a combustion byproduct, and firebenders aren't burning >anything; they're just making superheated, ionized gas plasma come >out of nowhere. That personally offends a certain breed of >scientist.) Aren't there already pyrokinetics out in the UF cosmos? I don't recall if Hammond or Storm have shown up, but I'm sure there've been mutants with that ability out there somewhere.... Mario |
