I read a paperback back in the mid 80's all I really remember of it was that it was about a group of beings trapped in a planet, one of whom was a large intelligent spider creature that had poisoned spines that it could mix the toxins to make virtually any chemical, medicine, or poison. It seemed...

During Man of Steel, Superman battles and defeats several military trained Kryptonians (eg. Zod, Faora etc) who have much more training and combat skill at their disposal. Faora mentions that he is weak and unsure of himself and Zod mentions that he has trained his entire life. So how is Superma...

I read this book between 1999 and late 2004. I am pretty sure it had a blue cover and may have been published by Penguin. It was a paperback. The story goes, as far as I can remember, that after an accident her body was too badly damaged and she was implanted into a cyborg or bionic shell, which...

In the end credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio reveals that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Spider-Man's identity was always a secret to the world (at least in the films), only a few people knew Peter is Spider-Man. So I was wondering if something like this happened before. I am looking ...

I read a couple of sci fi books in the 1980's from UK library, they were from a series... I don't think I read them in the right order so I've a mish-mash of memories. From the context of romance and having a female protagonist I'm assuming it was a woman author. A family controls a sub space dr...

In 1952, Jean Bruller wrote Les Animaux dénaturés under his pseudonym, Vercors. According to Wikipedia, the book was translated into English three times: You shall know them The murder of the missing link Borderline Are there any salient differences between the translations? Which one is cons...

Is it explained why Cage returns back to that particular moment in time rather then the moment of invasion? I understand that when an Alpha dies the Omega resets the day, but that would mean resetting to the moment the invasion started rather then resetting to the previous day and if the day i...

I've had 2 all nighters trying to look for this bitch ass story I've tried Google but there probably to busy ignoring my ass. Basically, the author writes multiple story's or one-shots (whish I had one shot to end it) and writes about random men from video games like legend of Zelda to actual boo...

I am not sure if this is discussed in the comics, the movie or any of the literature that has come out since. If Cage dies he resets the day back to before the invasion. If an Alpha dies the Omega resets the day back to before the Alpha died. So if Cage and an Alpha both died at the same mo...

Assuming Truman (during his first "escape attempt") was driving at 60mph for five minutes he would have, had the road been straight, already reached the edge of the Truman Dome. Is there any indication that an exit or a wall was what the crew were worried about ...

With the news that Sony and Disney have failed to reach an agreement about the next set of movies I wondered what this means for the ancillary Spider-Man characters that have become a part of the recent movies. I know that Happy, Nick Fury and Maria are owned by Disney and so will probably no l...

I'm trying to find the title of a science-fiction short story where a number of humans live on a space station. Pretty sure the main character is male There's some sort of catastrophe or sabotage, and it's a mystery at first (I think?) as to why it's happening, but pretty much everyone goes craz...

I dont remember too much as it was show in the earlier 2000's on Toonami. What i remember was a boy with a sword, and he had to go on a journey around the world. He met a girl with brown hair, but he was reluctant for help in the beginning. The girl had two guns that she called Uzi's (I think),...

In the second episode of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, "An Affirming Flame", the engines are down on the Andromeda, and their enemy/raider Gerentex pushes the ship towards a black hole. They decide to band together and shoot 40 sun-destroying bombs into the black hole, causing it to become a whit...

When Vin first encounters lady Shan at one of the balls, she spots Elariel's servant trying to find something at Vin's table, where Elend had left his books earlier. But how could Shan know he was reading forbidden books in the first place? Surely, she wouldn't have sent anyone to search for E...

I don't remember much but here's what I do remember: There were two novels featuring a group of elite Union soldiers, both would have been published around 2010, but not later than 2012. The first novel was set during the civil war and had a steamboat featured heavily. The second was about one...

It's probably from 80-90s. I remember that a girl probably crashed on some remote planet and was chased / hunting an evil robot that was indestructible. She was fighting with him at some villages. I think that robot was called Nemesis or something (not 100% here) and was looking like wearing big...

In the 80's G1 episode "Cosmic rust" it is stated that Transformers can get sick from microorganisms that devour Cybertronian metals. Iron Hide from the Bay movie Transformers Dark of the moon is melted by Sentinel Prima's Cosmic rust gun. But this is not through any form of radiation. My inspi...

I read this sometime during the mid-90s. I thought this was Wizard of Earthsea, but I've just reread the beginning and it's apparently not (Ged was originally Duny). The concept is very similiar to Earthsea, a child goes to get a True Name from a wizard / wise-man. In this case the wise-man te...

read a book years ago about a guy that creates portals that can be directed to source and destination. He used it to tie one end to the sun and used the other end to destroy missiles? Anybody remember the title and author?
