The thread What exactly does Butters mean by red carats? reminds me of a series I read about 5-10 years ago with a similar concept. One of the protagonists develops Knightly magic which presents as a video-game like overlay to help him in combat. The books are pure fantasy genre - there aren't ex...

I'm looking for a 90s video game (either on the Game Boy Color or the Game Boy Advance) where you played as a robot equipped with a boomerang or a boomerang-like weapon. The weapon could be upgraded so that it could be thrown farther. Another robot followed you as a companion. I don't recall if i...

In one of the Superman movies and I am guessing in some other sources, Superman relinquished his powers because if he had not, he could not have, I am asking, had sex with a human female? Or is it that a fetus he had fathered, for example, would have been dangerous for a human female to carry? Or...

I think I listened to this as an audiobook in 2020 or 2021. I think the concept of the book was that they took two authors known for their detective fiction, and had them do a story where their characters met. The story that recently popped into my head involved a mystic investigator, and I think...

I remember reading an intriguing story about a vampire fighting in cages across the country, sort of a supernatural MMA. It appeared (I think) online in the magazine Dark Recesses Press in 2008. I've been unable to locate since, would love to know author and title.

According to this Reddit post, In Star Trek (2009), the sound of the automatic doors opening on the U.S.S. Enterprise is a Russian train's toilet flushing. (No, really) How much truth is there in it? Is there any official source?

Magneto’s powers definitely doesn’t just work on iron. He seems to control large variety of metals. Are those metals all ferromagnetic? Or, can he control any type of metal irrespective of their magnetic properties? I am interested to know the answer from both movies and comics as it can vary.

I don't remember many details, but I believe the original language was Chinese. The protagonist is an orphan and has a sister to take care of. Before he got the system's power, he used to sell tofu or whatnot on the streets. The system is designed to give points to him when he annoys or makes fun...

Gollum, a nobody who stumbled across the Ring, appears to be supernaturally drawn to it. As I understand it, Gollum felt the Ring on Frodo and that's how he started following the Fellowship at Moria. Maybe one could argue that it was too far away in the Shire, but now they are quite close to Mord...

Vibranium/Adamntium are two of the most powerful metals in the marvel universe, so what is the strongest metal in the DC Universe?

I just remembered this cartoon a while back, I watched it on Netflix in the late 2000s, early 2010s. It was about people who got gemstones that gave them power. The only way to be unbound to the gemstone was to die. There was a Reginald Hargreaves/Professor X-type guy that we follow throughout th...

Are there any examples (preferably in the current canon but legends is also acceptable) of a lightsaber featuring an extending hilt. What I'm looking for is perhaps some kind of telescoping mechanism such that the saber can have a standard-ish length hilt which extends out to be more like a nagin...

In Episode 5 of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bail Organa leaves a message for Obi-Wan, informing him that he will be traveling to Tatooine to assist the Lars with young Luke. Yet in Episode 6, Bail apparently "changed his plans" without having been contacted by Obi-Wan.

I read this comic about 25 years ago. A bunch of people in a village or small town were performing scientific experiments with some substance. The experiments go horribly wrong and people turn into monsters, but it eventually gets fixed, and it all only lasted a night, I think. In the end, the ma...
