The “dactyl club” of mantis shrimp is able to strike with “acceleration similar to that of a .22 LR bullet fired from a handgun.”
The joke is that the mantis shrimp is able to control the person’s body such that she can strike just as swiftly as a mantis shrimp. However—because a human arm is much more massive than a mantis shrimp claw—instead of being a knockout blow (as was intended) the punch basically vaporizes her opponent’s head.
In theory her arm should have also experienced the same forces and would have also fractured if not crushed by the impact, but maybe the mantis shrimp controlling her also grants her fists more structural integrity.
structural integrity at 25%. we can't survive another hit like that.
