>laser-sharpened to the width of a moleculeI see several issues with this, even if it sounds like a weapon nerd's wet dream.
No it's fine, it's made of FUTURE steel so it won't lose its edge or hardness even when it's molecule thin.
>>151823130Which molecule is the question
>>151823192Updog molecules
>>151823183Well sounds like you could do a lot more with that than just make swords with it then, unless Arabian ninjas are the only ones who can mold this kind of metal on top of that.
something that thin has no structure at all and will dull on the first cut
>>151823263no dude it's the future, they solved that problem
As you can see from the imagine you posted, molecules are quite large in the DCAU.
>>151823263That assumes you could even get any cutting power out of it. The blade would chip as soon as it made contact with anything with a token amount of resistance (read: anything you'd want to cut) and it would dull significantly through sheer air resistance of swinging it.But, no, >>151823183
It's so funny when they give characters a sword and then that character is never ever allowed to actually cut anyone with it.
>>151823202What's Updog?
>>151823130weren't ancient obsidian knifes about this width? I don't see the problem. It's stupidly sharp but easily breakable.
>>151823130Reminds me of the xeelee sequence where there's a quantum string weapon thin enough to cut galaxies in half
