He made someone look directly into his beam.

Supervillain origin story if I've ever heard one

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser!

Note that it's not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.

Gets angry and lies himself on top of a high powered sniper rifle

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

That's a pretty niche role, a position as part of the laser grid at a museum is much more steady

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

just look at the guy, all he wanted to do was an honest days lazing for an honest days pay, was that too much to ask

The amount of cannons that have had to get in the unemployment line is stratospheric.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Skillset too specialized. He'll never get another job in that field.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

F

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Can't be that powerful if they just like that got fired

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Well yeah, clearly because all this time he's been a massive fraud! He's clearly a tampon in disguise

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Is it because all the labs kept chasing the laser pointer?
