Avatar: The Last E&M-bender

So we had a great idea today during class. I don't remember how, but by some means F=ma came up in our conversation. When I heard this, I thought, what if there's a cartoon like Avatar: The Last Airbender, but instead of the 4 elements wind, water, earth, and fire, we have the four fundamental forces?

We assumed that each force's abilities are reflected in their reflex rates. For example, Gravitots cannot throw Strong Force into the sun before the Strong Force ignites Gravitots into a trillion nuclear explosions. The most practical (and coolest) of the four would be E&MnMs while the villain would undoubtedly be Strong Force. The weak force would be a telepathic handicapped character like Pf Xavier from X-men, but his psionic abilities would be range-limited.

In the second season we'd find out the the Weak Force is E&MnM's long lost-twin, and in the 3rd season all four would realize they're one and form the Unified Grand Force. I can't think of a plot conflict to continue the story beyond this.

  1. You already ruined the second season?!?

    You should make this a miniseries, using the copious amounts of free time Caltech allows us...

  2. hahaha i love this! only what is "reflex time"? i'm not familiar with that term. strong force would be a truly diabolical nemesis - strength that doesn't diminish at a distance!
