What are all the types of super-strength ever used in fiction? I'm working on a fantasy story that has at least some grounding in science, and I want to give a character super-strength, but I'm stuck on how to go about it. Sometimes, powers--super-strength among them--aren't explained but simpl...

I recently saw a quote online where Batman a.k.a Bruce Wayne says the following to Superman: If you tell them to fight, they will fight. But they need to be inspired. And let's face it "Superman", the last time when you really inspired anyone was when your were dead. Has Batman ever said th...

In 1972-73 I remember reading a novel I found in the children's section of a local public library, which was a science fiction tale about drilling deep into the Earth's crust, loosely based on a real American drilling project of the 1950s/1960s known as Project Moho. The real project was an unsuc...

In the G1 series, we can see there that the Autobots have blue eyes. While the Decepticons have red eyes. Even in the movies they apply the same concept. So what is the meaning of these colors?

A Martian day unit is called a Sol. A week is supposedly still 7 days/sols. Have any works suggested new names for other time units like the Martian year? How about the significantly less well defined Martian month? While we’re on the subject, how about names for the Months? In the Red Mars t...

Whenever an enemy ship downloads something from the board computer or whenever a hologram gets transferred, the data gets removed from the board computer.
