[QUOTE="DreadPirateMurphy, post: 4982154, member: 20715"] That's actually interesting -- I wonder what the real-world physics of that would look like? I know we're talking comic book hero, but if you took a conductor, dumped one end in liquid nitrogen, and applied a blow torch to the other, what would happen? Would it shatter? How would the energy transfer affect the structure of the conductor? I guess that counts as "less-than-lethal" if you don't take into account the long-term health effects of exposure to depleted uranium. My understanding is that absorbing that into the body isn't exactly a health tonic. Still, better than lead poisoning (in either the literal or euphemistic sense). One idea that occurred to me that I can't recall seeing -- what if you could somehow interrupt a foe's ability to go into deep sleep. Over time, their readiness and even general ability to function would suffer dramatically, and it would be subtle. (Of course, keeping somebody awake with things like loud music is relatively common in the real world -- I'm talking about something more insidious.) [/QUOTE]
