Are you kidding? With SOME words, they have so many definitions, you can argue position. As in, “Aw, come ON! That’s like, what- the SEVENTH definition? Get outta here with that weak sauce. You wanna be taken seriously, you at least need to get in the top FIVE!” EDIT: for Exhibit #1, see...

Untold Story: Hank Pym secretly irradiated some genetically modified Hymenoptera by releasing them near US nuclear weapons test sites, then biochemically bonded them with Pym particles. When asked about his process by peers like Reed Richards and Tony Stark, Pym reportedly said “I wuz doin real...

Y’know, the aliens don’t necessarily have to come from another planet, at least not in the traditional sense. 1) They could come from another, parallel dimension- as differentiated from other planes of reality within the same dimension. Sliders had that, and the MCU’s Multiverse titles seem to...
