A quantum physicist is making the bold claim thatAnt-Mancould easily defeat theMan of Steel. The news comes from the sameInversearticle where quantum physicist Dr. Spiros Michalakis mentions that the Quantum Realm will be making a return in the upcomingCaptain Marvelmovie.
Dr. Michalakis was brought on as a quantum physics consultant forAnt-Manin 2014 and on his first day of work as a consultant, he was asked what they should call it when Ant-Man gets really small. Michalakis suggested that they call it the Quantum Realm, which is a real concept that describes stuff that happens at the scale of sub-atomic particles.
So where does Superman fit into all of this? As it turns out, Dr. Michalakis was looking to put elements of modern physics intoAnt-Man, which got him thinking abut superheroes in the real world. Dr. Michalakis argues that “if they were real, (they) would be limited by the laws of physics, including even Superman.” Now this is where it starts to get interesting. Dr. Michalakis claims that when Ant-Man goes to theQuantum Realmand something malfunctions, he isn’t just going to a smaller place, he actually goes one step beyond. Michalakis explains.
“This is a place where the nature of reality changes around you. So, when you enter the quantum realm, its different set of laws takes hold.”
Dr. Michalakis goes on to explain that although “Kryptonians may defy human science, they’re still working within our limitations.” Now, he says that Ant-Man does not fit into our physics box like the Man of Steel does because Ant-Man goes one step beyond that. I’m not going to pretend I know exactly what the hell this dude is talking about, but here’s the quote where he describes howAnt-Mancould easily defeatSuperman. Read Dr. Michalakis' explanation below.
“What I’m saying is that potentially understanding the quantum code from which curvature of space-time comes from,Ant-Mancould manipulate to increase it or decrease it.Supermanhas, in the canon of the DC Universe, lifted 200 quintillion tons. ButAnt-Manmight find a way to alter the laws of the universe so he could crush Superman with 201 tons.”
So there you have it,Supermanwould lose the fight againstAnt-Manin real life. It also sounds like Ant-Man could probably take down anyone with the powers of science in his hands, but I guess reality wouldn’t make theAnt-Man moviesso entertaining. Scene one, Ant-Man defeats every villain in the universe by manipulation of our very fabric of time to deliver a stunning blow. The End. I would like to see Superman get beat once and for all though, that’d be pretty good. The real death ofSuperman.
Ant-Manvs.Supermancould very well makeSupermaninto anentertaining movie, but that will never happen considering that both characters are from rival companies. Regardless, petitions seem to be all the rage these days, let’s start one to get Marvel and DC on board with this movie, power to the people.Ant-Man 2will launch on July 6th, 2018 while we get to see Superman in theJustice Leaguein November of this year.
