    [Mutants & Masterminds] A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

    Shuǎ Shé Rén/耍蛇人 Art by Ajax Love The People's Republic of China makes something of a show of tolerating independent superpowered operatives within their borders, the better to uphold their claim that all members of the Metahuman Guard are volunteers. Of course, many of the "privileges" that...

    [Mutants & Masterminds] A World Less Magical But No Less Fantastic

    Blakestone The whole thing is utterly ridiculous, really. For years, she understood that she was the weakest member of the Powerhouse, and behaved accordingly, staying back from the front lines and coming up with schemes that depended on her unique knowledge in between bouts of exposition. But...

    Star Wars: Andor

    It is not an impossibility. Her actor is a few months younger than Diego Luna, and since Andor is played significantly younger ... and there was that line in her introductory episode, that line about "that's why we're bringing in officers like you" which implies that there's something unusual in...

    Lt. Mav Oroshi As already mentioned, most of the Seshai people present in what is now the Crimson Imperium are philosophically opposed to it, and have either chosen to take up arms against it or treat it as a natural disaster against which they are sheltering in place.

Sadly, the doctors...
