Forcefield blocks radiation

Moving away from him, I said, "I've got Glory Girl's power at the moment, but I'm not sure how good it is against radiation. If I dissolve into something horrible don't worry about it; I've got other bodies waiting to take my place."

I thought about it for a moment.

Having him fall into molten glass because my body fell apart wouldn't be particularly healthy for him; the thought of him landing face first into molten glass wasn't very appealing.

I moved back several miles, burying myself in sand with only eyestalks above ground. I then sent a gout of flame up into the air.

The world exploded into fire all around me.

"I think I'm going to have to discard this body," I said.

Slimes were resistant to radioactivity, but burying myself in sand hadn't helped a lot when the sand had turned molten and cooked me from the inside out. I'd already been through a half dozen bodies in the course of an afternoon. It turned out that even with enhanced vision, it was a difficult balance between being close enough to see what I needed and far enough not to die. Glory Girl's power worked fine against radiation, but the radiation hit first, and then the fire and the burst of kinetic energy hit me at slightly different times, which was enough to pop her force field and make things deadly as the other wave hit.
