Apr 17, 2019 at 10:38 comment added Chronocidal Rather than using fans, which provide moving air to 'push off', seal him in a vacuum, contained within a tubular Bitter Electromagnet. Magnetic levitation in this manner has been demonstrated before - Andre Geim won a Nobel Prize in 2000 for levitating a live Frog
Apr 16, 2019 at 21:17 comment added Willk Downvoters! I am sure the DC universe needs you so villains can rampage but think for a second. Any of you could design a skydiving facility with fans to keep the diver in the center. You need more than one fan. Motion activate the lateral fans to keep him from walls. Reduce force of central fan if he approaches the ceiling. Increase force if he reaches the floor.
Apr 16, 2019 at 20:44 comment added Tyler S. Loeper I have seen indoor skydivers easily reach the roof, or the ground. Its very easy to move to either with a little bit of practice. At which point the character may as well be walking around as normal, and banging on the walls.
Apr 16, 2019 at 19:59 comment added Mark It's actually very easy to move around while skydiving, indoor or otherwise. With a bit of practice, your killer should have no trouble reaching the walls or the floor. You'll need them to be strong enough to contain your subject anyways, so the levitation gains you nothing.
Apr 16, 2019 at 19:45 comment added Willk @BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft - very strong cage will fall with time to very strong, invincible persistent monster. If he can reach a bar he can rip out the wall and leave. Or hang on to the bar and punch his way thru the floor. The skydiving facility leaves him nothing but air to work with. I envision fans oriented to keep him in the center.
Apr 16, 2019 at 18:49 comment added BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft What is the purpose of the "skydiving facility" rather than just a very strong cage? You don't think he'd be able to make his way to one of the walls?
Apr 16, 2019 at 16:52 comment added jamesqf Better have a good UPS system for the facility, though. (Though maybe that's a plot element: he has allies who scheme to cut off the power in order to free him...)
