Description The first official step in entering Tetsuko in the Maidens 08 competition spearheaded by Each entrant must submit a "character sheet" so here's hers.

I decided to throw a couple of facts in there that haven't been revealed about her. For instance, it's true that the upper limits of her strength haven't been discovered yet. (Here's my thought processes on that: I want to establish that the heaviest known weight she's lifted overhead so far is 670 tons; now I just have to determine what that weight would consist of. Would a fully-loaded railroad car be that heavy? would you have to stack two or more on top of each other? And she was able to shift that weight onto one arm and press it up and down for three reps, so she's capable of even heavier lifts...)

And the idea for the "exquisite muscle control" came to me just the other day; I guess I'll have to do an animation to show you what that's like

Anyway: I am rather pleased with how the art came out on this. If I ever needed to come up with an "official" portrait of Tetsuko, this would fit the bill nicely.

If you rp, maybe we can do one with her and a villainess who is almost as strong as her but she brags about her body being sexier and we can maybe make a story out of it?

If her current upper limit is 670 tons, that means that she can easily lift several tractor trailer trucks, trucks hitched up to their trailers. Good job on her.

Regarding the "on-demand" invulnerability: when John Bryne did a run on "Wonder Woman", he proposed the idea that while Wonder Woman did not have invulnerability, but her super-strength gave her high-levels of durability. So, she can take a punch from a giant, but can have her skin pierced by sharp objects. Go figure...

How about a block of steel 4.25m square?

As others had said, I always thought that Tetsuko's maximum was about 60-100 tons. 670 seems a bit high.

> want to establish that the heaviest known weight she's lifted overhead so far is 670 tons; now I just have to determine what that weight would consist of.

I do have a suggestion:
An 1100MW single-block transformers used in coastal power stations weigh 760 tons. (Inland sites use multiple-block transformers because land transport can't handle the size, whereas coastal sites can use ships to transport.)
This suggests that a 1000MW ton transformer would weigh about what you are looking for.

Railroad car has an upper limit of 200 - 300 tons because of the amount of load the rails could withstand (This differs from country to country, so you'll have to check Amtrak or somewhere for US value).

word-Mouse In reply to AdMeyer [2008-06-19 19:01:20 +0000 UTC]

Further notes on weights:

A standard ISO 20ft container has a maximum loaded mass of about 20tons; an 40ft container is about 25tons (round numbers). Typically, one of each can be carried on a single rail car; some 'double-stack' cars, only permissible on restricted routes in the US, Australia and Canada, can carry two 20ft and one 40ft for a payload weight of about 65tons and an all-up weight over 80tons on the wheels. Anything much bigger than this is a 'special car' - the very largest, like steel centipedes on wheels instead of legs, can carry several hundred tons, but the likelyhood of seeing one of these is very low.

The very largest of steam locomotives (the famous 'Big Boys' and the like) exceeded 500tons; the more common size of the last generation of American steam engines were around the 300ton mark. Diesels are typically much smaller - only 100tons or so.

Another possibly useful benchmark for weights in the 'superhero lift range' is shipping. It's popular because it looks good in comics. Be aware that a mid-WWII destroyer displaced about 2500tons; modern commercial shipping doesn't start much less than 10,000tons, and that for special-purpose boats. Also be aware that any attempt to lift any vessel over about 50ft long by balancing it on two hands is doomed to either a) punch through the hull plating, or b) break the boat's back... you'd probably get away with picking up a steam engine that way.

Well, I imagine that the "individual bicep head flex" part has already been demonstrated by the Valentine's Day '08 picture, in which she flexes a heart shaped bicep........

Plus I imagine if it goes beyond that it's something along the line of Popeye's spinach feuled flexing of his bicep into a multi-headed monster before it becomes gigantic..........

I'd envisioned the outfit as sort of her "standard" costume; analogous to a superhero(ine)'s uniform (even if we don't actually see her in it very often). She wears it on her page at my website [link]

Wow. Nice little index-card profile.

It'd be pretty neat to see one of each your other characters (Dyna, Satin Steele, et al)... if you had the time.

The info per se has raised a few concerns... I thought originally her upper limits were lifting 100 tons. I'm a bit concerned that her superpowers might be leading into the "silly" zone, especially since I guesstimate-figured that at a mere 100, lifting a Honda accord would be like the average person lifting a pound of butter.

However, once again, it's a nice little intro for people who've never had the joy and pleasure of meeting T-Chan.
