Q: How do starship weapons work in Star Wars, in terms of recharge time and the cause of recharge time
This is definitely connected to my last question on "Recycling shields", so I'll definitely start this question close to the same as the last.

I am trying to identify a TV show I watched as a child in the UK. It is rather obscure but I am constantly amazed by what people on this site can identify so here goes...

In the New Adventures of Superman, there was an episode where Superman, in his Clark persona, ate a lot of m&ms very quickly. I think he and others were infected or under the influence of something, causing them all to act greedy (possibly just Clark, though).
I remember the scene where Clark an...

Superman, since his first appearance in the late 1930's has been a symbol of Truth, Justice and the American way etc.
Looking back at his representation and the characteristics the writers have used over the years to describe Superman, this would seem a little far-fetched. But has Superman ever...
Is Superman able to get drunk?
A lot of characters in comics, like Captain America or Wolverine, are shown not being able to get drunk, but what happens when a Kryptonian starts to drink?

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows we see several occasions when Death Eaters 'activate' their Dark Marks to summon Voldemort. Surely Voldemort should know who did this and where as he doesn't seem to need additional communication to arrive at the right spot. We see that Lucius and Bella com...

Memory Alpha's "Novels" article has the following statement.
It should be noted that certain publications written by creators of
Star Trek's various series are sometimes referenced in later episodes
of those series. Somewhat paradoxically, the novels themselves remain
apocryphal in such...1
I remember seeing this when I was really young, sometime between 1985-1989 but the show itself could be older of course as I know this was just something that was on TV.
I remember a boy thinking there was a monster in his closet. His mother of course doesn't believe him. I don't remember a fath...

Is there any African superheroes created by writers native to Africa? It just stands to reason that there has to be at least 1 superhero that’s native to the African continent. I just want to be sure myself.

In the famous Up Is Down scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, they manage to make the Black Pearl capsize and turn 180 degrees by merely running back and forth between port and starboard. Plus letting loose the cargo below deck, which feels like a quite dangerous decision given the ...

Q: Are the events from Frank Herbert's "Destination Void" and "Dune" meant to be in the same universe
It's a bit of a stretch, I know, but there are a few clues.
First, the point of "Destination Void" is to create AI, which turns out to be
AI has been outlawed in the "Dune" universe after the Butlerian Jihad, probably for this very reason.
Second, one of the characters in "Destination Voi...
In David Brin's novel Kiln People, there is an unclear reference--once--to Ritu having a shaved head, but no explanation as to when or why or how this happened.

Amalgam Comics was a publishing imprint shared by DC Comics and Marvel Comics, in which the two comic book publishers merged their characters into new ones (e.g., DC Comics' Batman and Marvel Comics' Wolverine became the Amalgam character Dark Claw). These characters first appeared in a series of twelve comic books which were published in 1996, between the third and fourth issues of the DC vs. Marvel miniseries. A second set of twelve comic books followed one year later.The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 designated the Amalgam Universe as Earth-9602. DC Comics...
TL;DR: the usual "Bruce Logan Wayne coping with his parents' murder" is the only weakness which is somewhat confirmed, but enough electricity could also be a runner-up.

It's a short story that I real on a book at some point in the 1990's. It was the French translation, so it might have been older. I believe it was a short story by Isaac Asimov, set in the early days of the Galactic Empire from Foundation, but I may be wrong.
The story had someone sent to visit ...

I'm trying to find the title of this animated movie, but I'm dubious if I can post the question in the main thread (the subject is similar to Dr Strangelove, so it is very borderline).
So the question is if I can. There were some clearly impossible things that happened, but usually happened for...
