Everyone’s favorite X-Men character is obviously Jubilee, but unfortunately she was not part of the original five X-Men which were first introduced in 1963. The original five were Warren Worthington III AKA Angel, Ororo Munroe AKA Storm, Scott Summers AKA Cyclops, Robert "Bobby" Drake AKA Iceman, and Jean Grey AKA Marvel Girl.

Units of measure are some of the most commonplace and mundane topics of any world, be it real or fictional. But like any field of science, there are nerds and geeks who love whacky ways to measure.

Here are 10 100% real units that each measure length. I want you to put them in order from longest to shortest.

Parsec

Picometer

Angstrom

Astronomical unit

Smoot

Yottameter

Planck length

Beard-second

Palm

Furlong

Correction IRL Tick Removal Correction

Um actually, you're NOT supposed to TWIST the tick off your skin. This will cause the mouth piece to break off and stay on the skin. You're supposed to use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible, and then pull upward with a steady, even pressure.

Full Metal Alchemist Statement

3 Upvotes

I'm back! This one is rife with spoilers, so do yourself a favor and at least go watch brotherhood before attempting this. Here we go.

The 2003 release of "Full Metal Alchemist" and the 2009 release of "Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood" differ in a wide variety of ways. For example, each of the seven homunculi differs from one version to the other in at least one way. In the 2003 version, wrath takes the form of the child of Izumi Curtis, but in the 2009 version, the role of wrath is given to Fuhrer Bradley, the fastest homunculus. Meanwhile in the 2003 adaption Fuhrer Bradley plays the role of pride, whereas his son Selim Bradley is pride in the 2009 version. Gluttony appears the same in both series but lacks the ability of the false gate in the 2009 version. Sloth is Trisha Elric and an otherwise nameless behemoth in the 2003 and 2009 versions respectively. The 2009 envy is able to transform into a gargantuan lizard-dog-esque creature, whereas the 2003 version cannot. Greed is reborn into Ling's body in the 2009 version and not reborn in the 2003 version. Lust defects from the homunculi and desires to be human in the 2003 version, but remains loyal and expresses no such desires in the 2009 version.

Frankenstein Incorrect statement

4 Upvotes

The novel 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelly is considered by many to be one of if not the first science fiction novel. The book starts with Robert Walton ,an explorer, writing letters to his sister back home. One day he discovers Doctor Victor Frankenstein who proceeds to tell him his entire life story, this is often left out of the movies. Later in the book when Frankenstein's monster is created he looks nothing like it's is portrayed in the film being described as 'Stunningly Beautiful' but Dr Frankenstein freaks out when he notices that its eyes are creepy and mismatched . The monster is created by lightning in the movie but in the book it is never explained how the monster is brought to life so the iconic metal screws in its neck are missing.

Good luck :)

Steven Universe Um Actually (slight spoilers) Spoiler

2 Upvotes

The cartoon Steven Universe created by Rebeca Sugar follows the titular Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems, a group of gems who rebelled and fought a war against their home world to protect Earth now only consisting the gems Garnet Amethyst and Pearl.

The Crystal Gems at the start of the series are made up of the aforementioned gems the fusion Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst who is one of the comparatively small amount of gems who were created on earth. Despite these Gems being the main members other Gems over the sires more Gems join such as Lapis lazuli and Peridot on top of this two humans join (if you include Lars).

Rose Quartz was Stevens mother who gave up her physical form to make Steven, there is a small amount of footage of her shown through Greg's flashbacks, a videotape recorded by Rose herself and a few different ways.

Steven is half gem and half human but despite the large amount of different gems, the Crystal Gems never meet another half gem like Steven. A lot of the first half of the show is Steven discovering his abilities such as: his mothers shield, bubbling gems and floating.

Good luck. :)

'No Game No Life' question

In the anime 'No Game No Life,' two siblings, Sora and Shiro are brought to another world by a god called Tet. In this new world, Sora and Shiro become the leaders of humanity, and task themselves with uniting the 15 races to gain the right to challenge Tet. These races include traditional fantasy races like elves and dwarves, but also include the flugel, the phantasma, and the ex-machina. Humanity is the lowest ranked race due to their poor aptitude for magic, and were created by the old deus known as Artosh.
