The Wikipedia article on Black Lightning (Jeffersion Pierce) was appointed to Lex Luthor's cabinet as the Secretary of Education. However, I wasn't able to find out who else held similar positions. Did Lex Luthor appoint any other notable DC characters to cabinet positions during his presidency?...

I cant remember whether this is eighth year or not but I’m pretty sure it is. Basically, Draco keeps going transparent or starts fading out or something and the big problem is that he might fade out for good.

The new Lego Hogwarts castle set comes with 4 minifigures of the four founders of Hogwarts and 12 microfigures of various HP characters, from Harry to Filch. The only problem is I can't make out which microfigure is which. (Some are obvious - Harry and Umbridge. The rest are less so.) Pleas...

At the end of Oathbringer, Szeth swears the third Ideal of the Skybreakers. The problem is that when the Skybreakers explain how the process of swearing the Ideals works, they say that to swear the third Ideal you need to attract and bond a spren. So how could Szeth swear the Ideal without...

Only the creature's eye is shown during the movie's run time from 32:37 minutes. It's eye glows, it's in some sort of aquarium. It can be seen behind the augery (Irish Phoenix) in the above mentioned run-time. I'm thinking it’s somekind of a giant squid or an octopus but I'm not sure.

I was recently looking at questions about short stories that don't have a media tag when I came across this question (emphasis added): I remember reading an amazing short story/novella... I do not know what this should be tagged with. Rand al'Thor says "Either [tag:books], or no media tag" ...

In this HBO commercial, there is a song playing in the background. It's kind of rock and dubstep fused together. I have contacted HBO through Facebook, but they couldn't reach the department who made this video. It's been more than 6 months and I couldn't get thi...
