FirestrykeSo I'm looking for a list of superheroes and villains with mind control. Dc and Marvel characters. I do know about Poison Ivy, Mad Hatter, Scarlet Witch, Enchantress (Marvel), Circe, Spellbinder, Zatanna, Music Meister, and Brainiac. But I'm looking for any others with the power to mind control I...

Q: Why does no one seem to hit any of Mando's vulnerable spots?

FirestrykeSo Din Djarin's (Mando) Mandalorian armor has a lot of spots that the Beskar plates do not cover. How come no one targets these areas? They are pretty obvious if someone who was an experienced marksman (Fennick), or even just a decent shot, could hit one of these spots, injuring Mando, and slowi...

Q: What is the true name of the Elders in the ExForce book series?

Dan CsharpsterIn the book series ExForce, there is an Elder species but they're always called "The Elders". I'm not sure if I've missed anything in the books or supporting material. If I did though, does anyone (aside from Craig Alanson) know their true name for their species?

Q: Does this cut material from Rogue One still appear in the novelisation?

user69752Before Rogue One underwent extensive reshoots, a lot of dialogue and footage was cut from the theatrical release. In the first teaser, leaked celebration trailer, celebration reel, the two official trailers, all five international trailers, and the 44 TV spots released to date, I found a lot of c...

Q: Why didn't Dumbledore bring Fawkes, along with Harry, to the Horcrux Cave?

Kyle VSince Dumbledore couldn't apparate into or out of the Horcrux Cave, wouldn't Fawkes have been a great asset to bring since his status as a phoenix means that he can nullify the effects of the Anti-Disapparition Jinx and Anti-Apparition Charm that was placed over the Horcrux cave? He wouldn't have...

Q: Why did nothing strange happen when the driver set the clock back one hour?

Maxwell KingDuring the Protagonist test episode, the driver between the railways tracks set his clock back one hour, but nothing strange happened. Why? By "strange", I mean like changes in time flow.

Q: Superman comic story where he wears a different costume and has an actor pretend to be him

Ameet SharmaI vaguely remember this Superman story. It involves Superman being in disguise in a different costume with a helmet I think... while an actor pretending to be Superman wears a ring that allows him to fly. I think this was some kind of scheme Superman and the actor cooked up to mislead a villain. ...

UC InnovatorAny Gundam fans know the book named Gundam Officials Encyclopedia? I want to get this book as collectable. However, it is too big and the shipping must be expensive from outside U.S. Where can I get this in U.S.?

Q: Book where an undercover chess grandmaster is sent to an alien planet so that he can facilitate contact or avoid the forthcoming war

Olaf MeysI last read the book in the early 90's, so it would have been written before then. The main plot is about an Earth person being sent on an undercover mission to an alien planet of extraordinarily handsome/beautiful people who resemble humans in every detail but one- the cartilage in their nose. T...

Q: Where does the smoke come from?

O. R. MapperIn Star Trek Discovery, episode 3x09, there is a scene about 16 minutes into the episode where Stamets is in engineering. The computer announces: "Video rendering complete", whereupon Stamets steps over to a computer terminal. In the moment when we see Stamets looking (from the viewer's perspecti...

Q: I'm looking for a book about children who go to live in the woods

Joshua BarrigerI remember reading a beautifully illustrated book about some children going to live in the woods, when I was younger. The basic plot is that a few boys decide to go live in the woods, and it goes so well, that all of the other kids in the area join them. Kids end up living in tree-houses and unde...

What does it mean when a Q is marked as active recently, but has no apparent recent edits, new answers, new answer edits, or new comments? E.g. scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/154473/… Does it just mean someone up/downvoted the question, an answer or a comment? That someone deleted an answer or comment? Is there any way to get a list of all activity for a question?
@JacobC. you can click the time it was active (at the moment that says yesterday ) but there's a deleted answer there you might not be able to see
@AncientSwordRage That's the first thing I tried, but clicking it had no effect other than making the page flicker a moment (presumably due to reloading) and adding a "#240205" fragment identifier to the URL.
18:16
@JacobC. thats because there's a deleted answer there you might not be able to see
(For referenece, 240205 is the ID of the deleted answer.)
@AncientSwordRage Ah. It'd be nice if there was some clearer UI indication of that.
@JacobC. yup

Q: Other than a new position, what benefits were there to being promoted in Starfleet?

Michael StachowskyFamously, Harry Kim was never promoted past ensign since there was no room for advancement on his ship. Tom Paris was demoted from Lt. Cmdr. to Lt. In TNG, ensign Ogawa was promoted to Lt. In each of these three examples, it doesn't appear that anything is gained or lost by the change in rank....

@DavidW what's up?

Oh, just things. It's the season where it's always dark - dark in the morning when I walk the dog, dark after work when we go out again. And work has been frustrating the past few weeks...
You doing okay?
@DavidW finally finished an end of year review thingy
22:23
I just had mine. Excellent as always, but this year there's no money for bonuses, so it's only worth whatever feeling of personal achievement one can get from that. :)

Q: Identifying the Name of a Short Story

Slow'R ReaderI remember reading a short story about a married couple where a man was always obsessed with the news (I think it was on the radio) until his wife was so exasperated with him she nagged him and drove him away.

Q: Trying to identify sci-fi book trilogy about enhanced soldiers, main character develops powers

Joel LuxI read this trilogy 20ish years ago. It was a science fiction military story about a group of soldiers who were augmented. I think it was genetic enhancements, as the main character developed beyond expectations (telekinesis and the like). I can’t recall many details of the story or the conflict ...

Q: A.E. van Vogt story? Astronauts inhabit simian bodies

Lee EckhardtI seem to associate this story with van Vogt and the 1940s. Space trips are so long humans are forced to switch bodies with simians while their own bodies are in suspended animation. This involves some kind of sacrifice on the part of the astronauts - can't remember just why. Eventually faster tr...
