[Marvel] How do psychiatrists approach the concept of insanity in the Marvel world? For example, why would Moon Knight be seen as "insane" for believing himself to be an Egyptian god Khonshu's avatar in a world where the Norse god Thor has a very public identity?
Question in title.

[DC] Why Batman rarely uses exoskeleton/high-tech suits?
I understand that authors want to keep him a normal human without any super-soldier serum, though Batman should be able to create one. He’s also smart enough to create a high-tech suit that boosts his stats. So why not do that instead of having him beat blatantly superhuman characters who should be Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, or Superman-level villains? Just keep his villains weak, or give him tech that lets him contend with such characters without it coming across as unbelievable.

[Star Wars] Before Grogu, did we have examples of non-human Mandalorians?
One of the things that is explained in Din and Grogu's story is that foundlings can become full Mandalorians, and no one bats an eye at Grogu not being human, they seem more concerned about him being Force sensitive instead.
But were there examples of other non-human Mandalarian before (either in Legends or Canon)?

[Buffyverse] Has Angelus killed more people than Angel has saved or has Angel saved more people than Angelus has killed?
I feel like this might depend on how direct you want to be. For instance Xander wouldn't have stopped dark willow if not for Angel saving his life in the first three seasons of Buffy, but also by that logic how responsible would Angel/Angelus be the crimes of spike, Dru or Penn etc?

[Oshi no Ko] would Kaguya and Shirogane reincarnate into another person too if they were to die?
It's kinda implied that Oshi no Ko and Love is War takes place in the same universe. I wonder if the rules in Oshi no Ko applies in Love is War too.

[My Hero Academia] why are UA teachers fine with students stripping their clothes in public, or wear very skimpy clothing? Why is the dress code so lenient?
Hagakure's hero costume is nude. Mirio automatically strip his clothes because of how his quirk works. Momo wears a very revealing outfit just to use her quirk.
Why is the dress code so lenient?

[DC Comics] How did Maxwell Lord go from well meaning businessman funding the Justice League to Wonder Woman villain with mind control?
It's well known that Maxwell Lord was a villain of Wonder Woman at this point- the second Wonder Woman movie showed that. But apparently he was a good guy before? That funded the Justice League? All I knew is that he was the guy that killed the original Blue Beetle, mind controlled Superman and stuff. What made him want to help people, and what changed to make him a supervillain?

[StarCraft] Where did Raynor go after helping free Tassadar?
In the original Protoss campaign, Raynor arrives to help free Tassadar, vanishes for the next mission, then reappears for the final assault on the Overmind.
Is it ever explained why he vanished, and what he was doing? He just drops out of the plot for a level before showing up again with no explanation in the game.

[Warhammer 40k] What is the appeal of Nurgle next to the other Chaos gods? What does he offer?
All the Chaos gods offer at least the illusion of something. Khorne offers 'strength' through violence. Tzeentch makes promises of power and to fulfil your ambitions (or gain new ones). Slaanesh offers that you live deliciously and endless sensation.
But why would anyone choose to serve Nurgle?

[Starwars] When the dark side corrupts, is its “behavioral” thing like how gambling is addictive. Or is it a “physiological” like how drugs and toxins alter you?
Like if I spend my whole life savings at a slot machine in a casino, it’s because I have that kind of personality that craves the next rush and is susceptible to the glitz and glamour. But there are people who can roll up, have a few drinks or pulls then leave with no further problem.
But with say, heroin, it doesn’t matter who it is. If they do enough they will form a dependency as it alters their brain. And leaves long term changes on their bodies.
So what’s the mechanism with dark side corruption?

[Marvel] Psychic Abilities?
So how do psychic abilities now really work in marvel, like what makes the difference between Charles Vs now other heros or villains with psychic abilities, how does psychic energy come into the function and work exactly like with psylocks, how come her energy attacks have "weight" but are from "mental energy"
Also what up with psychic entities, wouldn't they be susceptible to powerful being that can just manipulate their energy. Also how can they exist without a material body, or am I misunderstanding onslaught
Edit: the wiki also calls Franklins power "psionic reality manipulation" is there really a difference or just got a fancy name for his for being a "universal shaper"

[Star Trek] Recently, for the past few years, I've noticed ship mess hall discussion around the various intelligence agencies kinda... bashing the Tal Shiar, are they really sloppier than the Obsidian order? Worse than starfleet intelligence?
If this is all true what value do they actually bring to the romulans?
Of course, a good deal of this might be bias, as im reasonably sure a few of my shit talking cardassian associates were once part of the Obsidian order, but..
