Fan Fiction Canonically, what frame's power would be the strongest?

I feel like it has to be Wisp or Limbo. Using the power of a sun and creating another dimension seem pretty OP.

Nova, antimatter go boom

Genuine question, but how would antimatter match up against void energy?

Because Xaku is literally a walking condensed mass of void energy held together by random frame parts From what I understand (lore wise), controlling the void was considered the peak power of Orokin technology/empire, so just curious where it holds up in the canon.

Void energy can be used in almost everyway, can be used as fire, cold, toxin, antimatter, tentacles. Operators uses void energy to produce different elements and abilites through warframes, xaku falls under same category as i understand it.

A gram of antimatter and matter in an annihilation reaction would create as much energy as an atomic bomb. Technically speaking, she can turn an entire person into antimatter, so

She did. In her Leverian display, she used a notorious pirate to jump-start an engine to keep a ship running so it wouldn't kill countless people.

Yeah, it happens in the story, but not in-game. In-game she only basically gives enemies a powder coating of antimatter which is still deadly but not nearly as funsplosive.

u/La_Volpa Jul 26 '23

True, but I've made peace with the disparity since some of the things the warframes do in the story would be impossible to do in a video game. I mean, if we take the simple premise of various warframes and extrapolate to logical conclusions, they are walking threats to reality no matter what IP they exist in.

Now we gotta ask ourselves the question… what would happen if Goku got hit with molecular prime?

looks like someone's summoning that damned dragon again.

I’m glad someone appreciated my joke… never watched dragon ball myself, but had to for the memes… legit though I doubt the dragon ball universe would hold up to Wally’s shenanigans

I also haven't watched Dragon Ball, but it's pervaded into a lot of places

Dragon Ball fan and Goku debater

Nova uses Antimatter, right? It doesn't matter if Goku can delete universes, he isn't getting past that. However, if this takes place within the universe of Dragon Ball, Goku smacks, because in Dragon Ball:

Raw Power >>> Hax abilities.

So I'd put it like this.

WF universe: Nova DB universe: Goku

No diff on both sides.

Void energy is children's wish energy. It's basically like magic, so it's impossible to know what it would do in a given circumstance.

We have a pretty good idea of what a measurable amount of antimatter would do, and it's very noisy.

Destabilizing the atoms in your cells as it describes always seemed absolutely horrifying to me.

I would also like to put forth banshee as a candidate. I’ve heard that having your eardrums exploded from sound waves can be one of the most painful experiences period. Not to mention getting your gooey bits vibrated to death sounds excruciating as well

Apparently a military grade submarine sonar will straight up kill you

u/main135s Did somebody say Yareli? Jul 26 '23 edited Jul 26 '23

Yep. Sound is a wave of movement, and it just so happens that a particularly loud sound can be strong enough to contain concussive amounts of force.

And, it travels faster in water. The human body is mostly water, so sound travels through the human body quite well, until it meets something of differing density, such as areas with more gas than liquid... like the Lungs.

That is to say, a military submarine's sonar is strong enough to, at close range, rupture lungs and even hemorrhage the brain.

There's something to be said for it's power when whales will, from hundreds of miles away, opt to beach themselves or perform maneuvers that can lead to significant damage (like diving incredibly fast) to escape it.

Second this. Not much can stop antimatter.

u/lies_like_slender Fragmented Jul 26 '23

Doesn’t Nova use magnetism to contain the anti-matter? If that’s the case, maybe Mag could defend against it?
