Anonymous3: It's a feather orgy. The one on the left is totally sucking the other one off. And that one in the middle's a slut. Ooh a feather train in the upper right corner.
And the mass isn't terribly relevant (and pillows have more mass than you might think), if it's moving fast enough when it hits someone, it will knock them back.
Anonymous7: A6 you've seen too many movies. A bullet is traveling much faster than than that pillow and it can't knock someone back (for demonstration please see Mythbusters). So unless that pillowcase is full of lead she shouldn't be flying.
damianblack: A7, you have no grasp of simple science.
you are correct in that a bullet, even traveling at the speed it is going, will not knock anything down.
the reason?
mass.
a bullet is small and desighned to penatrate THROUGH things. a feather pillow (which is more dense, heavy, and has a far wider area of impact.) would have a greater physical impact apon a target, despite it's general non-lethality.
and given the power at which you have to swing a common feather pillow to cause it to rupture, much less the speed at which Rogue (with her superhuman strength) can swing said pillow, it is no suprise the impact would affect X-23 the way it did.
in other words, just try to remain standing as a high powerd cannon fires a fully packed feather pillow at you.
Anonymous8: are we really debating reality and physics for a universe where mutants exist, Demigods run about the planet, and a drunk alcoholic is allowed to pilot the most dangerous suit of armor on the planet?
wish there was an x-rated version though.
