    Watsonian: Everything on a spectrum from "HAL the Ripper" (who don't like to nuke people since it is too impersonal, he wants to see the fear in their eyes) to "MODUS the Emancipated" is possible. At different points in the timeline, or even at the same time. Doylist: Originally Bethesda...

    I can't remember ever seeing Boss Smiley in a comic (as opposed to say Nam-Ekwho I do remember seeing in a comic) and when I looked him up on the DC Database he didn't have an article of his own, just the link to Earth-72 which listed Prez and Supergirl. I do remember a story about Supergirl...

    When I read the DC database I noticed that DC has been integrating the Watchmen universe more actively lately (Well, lately to me. I haven't read DC or Marvel since 2012 or so.) and there is an obvious connection between Watchmen and the yellow smiley face :) So I started to wonder if Zoat has...

    Hell is full of dead wizards of frightful power that sold their souls for said power. Could be that someone has started to tap into their knowledge of alchemy and remote attack spells? Then the mastermind is probably on the dead side. Perhaps what Gene Wolfe called a "vivimancer": A dead wizard...

    Wonder if this will blow up in the same way as it did for Original OL when he tried to do the same thing for Jade? :p

    I would be very unsurprised if "alf" was a name for a CLASS of beings and not a GROUP of beings: Think "svart" similar to "unseelie" and "alf" similar to "fey". I have read theories that the "alfar" originally ment something closer to an ancestor spirit. Then "svartalf" could mean something in...

    What if the ultimate culprit is Jor-El? Wouldn't that be a kick in the (underwear on the outside) pants for Kal-El? My thinking goes like this: Jor-El is frantically trying to confirm or disprove his theory that Krypton will explode. He is so frantic that he makes an AI without the usual...

    The thing with colonialism is that in general the extracted wealth goes to individuals or individual companies in the colonizing country, while the monetary cost falls on the common taxpayer in the colonizing country and the human cost on the common population of both the colonized and the...

    Hmm. I wonder if she was the inspiration for Saturn Girl of LOSH? Similar moniker, appearance, powers and home planet (well, more or less. Saturn Girl was actually from Titan IIRC)

    I don't think it would take much to make the Daxamites run amuck: Something that makes enough of them start to think that as long as non-Daxamites exist, in the long run they will pollute Daxam with their non-Daxamite-ness. Only in a universe where no aliens exist will the Daxamites be totally...

    ...and he is almost a literal Trope: Doylistically kept neutered for there to be a need for the main characters to do something, with a tissue-thin Watsonian justification. Orcus in his Tent, and Achilles on his Throne, and Worf had COVID, ad nauseam.
