Knuckles Can Crush An Asteroid He's Standing On, With Only A Slight Jump. But Usual Logic Says That Punching

knuckles can crush an asteroid he's standing on, with only a slight jump. but usual logic says that punching the ground is effectively the same with landing on foot, when there isn't anything to base himself upon.

and then you see that on this particular punch, his knuckles really shine with energy.

meanwhile, when his punches aren't doing much, they don't shine. all he does is as much as the friction his shoes can provide. he's half-assing most of his punches.

he did use more energy for whatever reason this time, but note that in this occasion it's weakly red. it was orange when he was smashing an asteroid.

which would mean that the visible portion of the energy emitted from his punch has a color scale that resembles color of stars per temperatures. his energy powered punch doesn't effect objects in a way of pushing in one direction with pressure, but rather would be effectively exploding and releasing energy waves.

now look at his facial expression right after radiation has gone. he's proud with himself, getting the estimation of the power he would have to exert to smash this asteroid correct.

you do not want to see any radiation of cool colors from his punch.
