[Torg] Jumping in Torg

[Benjmain Grant]

Again, I must disagree - it doesn't have to make sense if it's *more*
(effective)- but it certainly has to make sense if it's *less*.

In other words, if the superhero goes a vastly shorter distance than the
projectile, and the reason is *because* he has superpowers, that is bizarre,
even for supers.

I can buy the rest of it, but not superpowers making them *worse* than inert
objects in the same condition.

Superpowers vary rarely compute when you try and apply them to real
world situations and vice versa. Why don't speedsters deafen everyone
around them with the sonic booms they should be creating by moving so
fast? Why don't they burn up from the heat generated by air friction?
Why doesn't their great speed and the curvature of the Earth lead to
them racing off into space if they exceed escape velocity? Why don't
they get to long jump a couple of miles? It's superhero physics, it
doesn't have to make sense.
