My Life as a Teenage Juggernaut... (Worm AU x Marvel)

Alexandria still needs to breathe she'd die in orbit quicker than she can fly back to breathable atmosphere. She can't even reach the speed of sound under her own power. It's Eidolon and Legend who can fly that fast
 

Anyone hitting that speed had better also be able to stick with the curve of the Earth, because Mach 25 is definitely in escape velocity range. It's not solar escape velocity, but it's still faster than anything we've done so far, I believe. (I know we've managed Mach 25, because all shuttle astronauts earned a Mach 25 NASA patch.)
 
Mach 25 is orbital velocity. Escape velocity is more like Mach 35.

(And if you go from 0 to Mach 25 in one impulse, rather than smoothly using rocketry, your erstwhile orbital ellipse will intersect the terrain.)

Mach 25 is somewhere on the way to orbital velocity. Mach 50 is probably "you're going into a very elliptical orbit, assuming you survive long enough for that to be relevant".

Mach 50 (approx 16.5 km/s) is well in excess of Earth escape velocity (approx 11.7 km/s), so puts you into an orbit around the Sun that intersects Earth's but almost certainly has a different orbital period.
 
And either way, any parahuman that survived the rapid acceleration and trip out of Earth's atmopshere would not survive the lack of air and exiting the operational zone shards allow parahumans to survive in. As I understand it, Sphere's moonbase was barely in that zone, and possibly one reason why he was targeted by Ziz.

Most would be vaporized by the atmosphere or simply shredded during the throwing process.
Not necessarily. That's only if the object is going slowly enough. What actually happens at a high enough velocity is that there isn't enough time for those interactions to happen (at least not fully). Which is how the borehole cover probably made it into space, since if it was moving fast enough it likely didn't have time to fully ablate. Which would then make it the farthest manmade object from Earth (and unlikely to ever be overtaken), because it was definitely exceeding escape velocity (Dr. Brownlee said in 2016 that it was going at least five times escape velocity (over three times faster than the fastest space probe) and almost certainly reached space). This phenomenon is also why neutrino detectors have to be located underground, even though all calculations say that neutrinos should break down in the upper atmosphere; they're going so fast that the atmosphere (and to some extent the planet) is basically two-dimensional from their perspective and they literally zip through before they can break down. Granted a human body is a lot more fragile than an iron manhole cover, so the speed needed to eject it into space as a visibly discernible mass roughly the size (if not shape) of a human body is probably a lot higher, but at least in theory it's doable with...*

Sufficient velocity.

They are like:
-Brothers!
-Brother!
And then immediately start punching each other in the face because they have very differing opinions on how to get their fix of awesome. Gork and Mork want to have a lot of weaker champions that cover a lot of ground while Cyttorak goes for a single one with absurd amount of power.

I can't wait for Kaiser or another metal based villain to look at Taylor's new outfit and go "there is probably some form of metal in there, finally something my powers to grab onto." Only to find out that "grab onto" and Juggernaut only have one outcome, and it is unpleasant.
 
I think Magneto once discovered that he couldn't affect Juggernaut's armor. And I'm certain that nether can Breadroll's shard. It may not even recognize that the armor even has metal in it.

It depends on whether Juggernaut wants to be affected by Magneto. He has carried him around by the armor when they were working together, but on occasions they have fought Juggernaut could resist it. Kind of like a cat. If it wants to be held it's easy to pick up, otherwise it's somehow 500lbs, anchored to the ground, and made of jello.
