When did norby of the series of the same name gain his hyperspace and time-travel capability’s? My guess is he gained them when he was first made. I first put this on the literature stack, but I figured that I might get a better answer here.

In the second season of Iron Fist, Davos He does this by getting close to him and doing something while pretending to hug him (why Mr. Yang lets Davos get close to him given that the latter has demonstrated his considerable tendency toward unpredictable violence is another matter). The scene...

This was a book from my childhood. Read sometime in the early 1990s The title was something like "the Prophet" or "the Seer". I think the cover was green or blue with a clam shell on it. I remember several "scenes" within the plot A beach with two crucified boys being forcibly exposed to a magi...

I was recently reminded of a YA novel I read as a child in the 1970s, and I'm curious as to what book it is. I read it in Danish, but I'm pretty sure it was translated, probably from English. The translated book was new at the time, but the original may have been older. The novel was a historica...

When the robots finally failed mechanically the human brains would be transferred to a new robot allowing the scientist to live for tens of thousand...

Action Comics #1000 was first published in the US earlier this year. I got the impression that this seemed to be an unheard of before milestone. Most likely due to the fact that such a daunting number might prevent newcomers from getting involved in a comic book series, publishers use retcons, r...

What is the order for watching the Spiderman movies? I tried finding it online, but it included all the "failed projects" and animated TV shows. Could someone please make a list of the (live-action) Spiderman movies and what order to watch them in? Also, is the new movie Venom related to the S...

This book I think came out between 2006-2008 and I remember that the whole book was illustrated. Sadly I have no idea who the author is. I remember the story fairly well. The story starts out with a young man waking up inside some kind of pod but with no memory of his name or his past. He steps ...

In the movie Aliens, there is a scene where Bishop does his "thing with the knife", showing speed and accuracy that no human would have. In Star Trek:TNG we often see Data entering commands/queries into the computer more quickly than humans could accomplish. In contrast, one can recall Robot fro...

However, when a "flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City." is seen he regains his strength and leads the charge. What is this flash and who or what made...

I'm trying to find an old series that I saw on TV in the 90s. I don't remember exactly the plot just fragments but it was about a vigilante of some sort. I remember he had a cool black costume that had some sort of force field around it that made it bullet proof. I remember a motorcycle too (not...

In Iron Man 2 Tony Stark (the world expert on Iron-Man armour) says that most countries are five to ten years away from this sort of technology. But in MCU terms that was about eight years ago now, so if Tony Stark's estimates were right one would expect organisations in countries like Russia, Ch...

US town where aliens have infiltrated and control humans through a corporation. I think this might be an early to mid eighties movie (possibly TV movie). All the humans work for the Corporation in what seems an idyllic town. One family discover their intentions and I seem to remember the end ...

Does Marvel have any plans to make the Iron Man title less gender exclusive? I know that Tony Stark is a man (or is he?) but has Marvel indicated they will go with a more progressive mantle like Iron Person, Iron Human, or Iron Individual*? * other title suggestions could be Iron They, Iron F...

As mentioned by numerous contributors on Quora (not to forget his character in the MCU, the animated series etc. etc.), Spider-Man made his own webbing using a bunch of chemicals. Although I was not able to find the exact chemical list (that would obviously be impossible!), one of the component t...

I remember the main character was a private detective as well as a werewolf. There was an island he went to where all the inhabitants were females as well as werewolves. In one part they capture a group of Nazi soldiers that believe they're going to die honorable deaths only they're brought into ...

Concerning Jean-Luc Picard's run-in with the surly Nausicaans, why are the recollections different? In "Samaritan Snare," while in the shuttlecraft with Wes, he says, "I stood toe-to-toe with the worst of the three (Nausicaans), and I told him what I thought of him, his pals, his planet, and I po...

When voting to close a question there are five options you can choose from: The ones that interest me here are the third and fifth choices. While I don't think this is a pervasive issue, I have seen it enough that I think it warrants a discussion. It seems to me that specifically these two clo...
