Question

You work in the special effects department of a movie studio. You are currently working on a superhero movie where the hero is very strong and cannot be hurt by normal weapons such as a sword. In the next scene, the villain is going to hit the hero with a lead pipe. The hero's costume is mostly made of foam and carbon so that is it very light and easy to move around in but will crumble if hit with anything hard. For this scene, a section of the costume needs to be replaced with a different material that will only dent, not crumble, when hit with the pipe. You are on a deadline and look around the props department for ideas, what could you use?

Answer 1

Aluminum or Galvanized iron

Step-by-step explanation:

If the costume has to be such that the hero does not get hurt when hit by a lead rod and also is easy for the mobility then the suitable option for the costume could be Aluminum material which will only dent and not crumble.

Galvanized iron could be another choice being harder and stronger as compared to aluminum but a little heavy. It can sustain heavy impacts as compared to aluminum.

Answer 2

You could use a shield if you are not speaking from a scientific way.
