I'm trying to find an Uncle Scrooge story where he has some substance that converts liquids into a gel-like solids and at the same time reduces their volume significantly. He uses one drop of this substance to make a tanker's volume of oil into a gel which can be transported by a small ship. I b...
The Jedi could feel on what's happening about them. Like a disturbance in the force. This question is somewhat similar to Why couldn't the Jedi detect Senator Palpatine as having powers? But prior to Attack of the Clones, Dooku is already a Sith Lord called Darth Tyranus. And at the beginning o...
While the exact speed of a hyper-drive is still a debate, most fans agree that it'll take you across the galaxy in days at most. Given this, why are the outer-rim worlds still so intensely impoverished backwaters complete with scum and villainy? It would be like claiming that San-Francisco is sim...
I looked through other questions but couldn't see anything like what I'm looking for. I checked out a collection of ghost stories every year from my elementary school library, so from about 1993-2000. The book was a paperback chapter book and I think had a dark blue cover. It included several t...
Since my youth, I've been playing a SNES game called Marvel Super Heroes In War of the Gems, which is basically an "Avengers" game where you have to fight some Marvel villains to retrieve the 6 Infinity Gems. One of the 5 playable characters is Iron Man. Though I've never noticed it before, l...
I once read a short online comic, I think off the artists blog? It opens as a western. A town is trying to kill an outlaw (I think) but nothings working, not drowning, not fire, not guns. The outlaw escapes, naturally, taking somebody with him. Then we see him in a crashed ship, sand everywhere,...
Related, but different from this question and this question. At one point in the episode, they came up with a plan for destroying the transwarp hub; which would involve using a torpedo from within it, and then quickly leaving to outrun the shock wave. This plan would leave them still stranded in...
From what I remember, the astronaut made first contact with a race of felines that live on the other side of the Galaxy. They had always been able to see Earth, but Earth couldn't see them because they were blocked by the Sun. There are various corporations that do drilling on various asteroids...
I'm trying to register on Sf Debris' forum, but the registration question is “What is Benjamin Sisko's favorite ship called?” I've used The Defiant or USS Defiant but it tells me it's incorrect. Am I missing something?
I don't know exactly when it came out but it had the drawing style of a 90s cartoon. There are 2 main characters with mechs, 1 male and 1 female. They both have suits and the 2 suits can merge into a more powerful one. I remember one episode where the girl was at school and the boy had to pro...
When reading up on the lore every character in the Justice Department is called a judge. I wonder is that for all members of the justice department or is that just for specific positions of authority
I'm looking for the name of a short story I read about 20 years ago, I read this as a translation in a magazine, I sadly have no idea how it was originally published. In which the protagonist, a microbiologist or some other sort of lab worker is "prophesied" to drop a sample of pathogens, causing...
Benjamin Sisko's mother was possessed to ensure he would be born and become the emissary but in the Mirror Universe the wormhole had not been discovered, the prophets had not been met and Sisko was not the emissary. How could there be a mirror Sisko given these facts?
It is said that making the polyjuice potion Harry, Ron and Hermione were breaking at least 50 rules of the school. Now, Hermione accidentally drinks a potion with an addition of cat's hair, which sends her to the hospital wing for weeks. How did she justify accidentally turning into half a cat? I...
I remember that there was only one season and it ended in a cliffhanger. I would have watched this in the 90's. The series starts with a teenage boy waking up in a boarding school. There are others there that join him in trying to escape the school. One of the other students reveals that her f...
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 37, the following conversation takes place: “He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him,” said Dumbledore. “And notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which, according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard w...
