I woke up this morning with one thought in my head, and it's been bugging me all day.
Right, so you know the firey fellow from Fantastic Four? When he goes all firey, his body is fire, right? Like, all of him turns to fire?
Fire requires oxygen to burn, but humans require oxygen to continue to function, so if his body is on fire then he most certainly is not respiring in any traditional sense. This is okay. This is the Miracle Exemption for this superhero.
My question is; can he then survive in oxygen-less areas? Would he burn in a vacuum?
Feel free to talk about other superhero science things. Let's all try to help each other out on these issues.
