If a character can fly, then just throw something at them. You possess high-tier strength, so it's only safe to assume that rock is going to fly rather fast through the air.
Unsure how fast, however. You could just handwave it and claim it travels faster than a bullet or something.

I think we're vastly underestimating physical strength, and grossly overestimating magical ability.
Contrary to popular belief, human punches are rather destructive. For the record, professional boxers like Mike Tyson more or less wield their fists like small war-hammers; if one of these guys were to hit you in the head, it would be like someone crushing your face inward with a club, most likely leaving you with brain damage. Tyron's surreal punching power is most likely derived from his physical strength, mass (throwing his body weight into the punch), his lack of 'arm punching', his act of pivoting during the punch, and his foot work. Additionally, these fighters have conditioned themselves to withstand such blows, putting them several notches above the average man or woman. Granted, such high-power impacts are cushioned by the boxing gloves they wear as well as small tactics used on the target's behalf--such as dodging and weaving and stepping forward into the punch to lessen the distance the punch travels in midair---but it's still impressive stuff.
I believe Tyson had a punching power rated at 1,750-2,000 psi, which is nearly twice that of the bite force generated by a spotted African hyena, with this animal more than capable of breaking bones with its jaws.
And this is at low-tier. I don't want to imagine what a high-tier rated punch is like.
EDIT: Just read what LeeRoy said on punching force versus lifting capacity.
Sigh.

If that ban is a permanent one, I'm going to flip.

... Xbox 360? If so, I need a gamertag from you. :3
Sure. It's CaptainAmericaK.
But that's comparing a crime that harms a tangible person financially (and potentially physically as well as mentally) versus someone simply talking mad shit on the internet to complte strangers on the internet.
I don't think the two can be accurately contrasted.
I mean.
Meh, I don't really care. My friend and I are busy being bad at Black Ops 2, which is more important than this.

So your logic is that when someone gets mugged, it's their own fault for carrying things the mugger wanted, and instead of going to the police, they should stop carrying things like money in order to avoid being mugged in the future. Absolutely brilliant. Why didn't I think of that.
That's kind of an extreme example you know?
I..actually enjoy Beta's antics, mostly because he offers decent discussion and because this stuff is relatively amusing.
I'm also under the impression he's trolling 90 percent of the time (at least when he starts messing with someone), with the other 10 percent typically having to deal with RP-related actual issues.

I swear, this OOC thread is comedy central.
