@Exinity: yes i realize h is an alien either way. But in the movies he's a demi-god and an alien.

@Exinity: In the movies and advertising for hte movies he was described as a demi-god. So technically alien because he was from a different planet, a supposed demi-god according to the movie.

@cccurrified: Obviously not from a dead person. Blood just pools if you are dead... Lol the pressure is created by the heart.

@DragonBandit: Yeah, but it won't happen if it's from a corpse, where there's no more pressure for the blood to be pumped around (or something like that).

@JokerXD7: Because he's so durable. It's his nick-name, and a figure of speech. "He's as durable as steel."

[quote=cccurrified]Blood squirting out 30 feet from a corpse/living human. That makes me laugh for some reason, I'm terrible at horror movies.

Speaking of Harry Potter wands, didn't Harry's wand got broken itself? In the books, he used the Elder wand to fix it.[/quote]

Actually this is possible. Not necessarily 30 feet but pretty far. Maybe like 10ish feet? I personally have never seen it happen even though I am an EMT. However it happens when a cut is made to an artery. The blood literally squirts out. My instructor has seen it.

[quote=JokerXD7]Superman. Since his arms are made of steel, Lois Lane should have been chopped into pieces when he caught her when she was falling.[/quote]

Spoiler alert: Harry did tear up the Elder Wand at the end of Deathly Hallows part 2, didn't he?

The force of tension from spiderman's web is greater than the force of gravity, since he doesn't fall.
