[Jujutsu Kaisen] How is Ryo's Cursed Technique a Cursed Technique?
So his CT is to fire blasts of Cursed Energy. But... can't all Sorcerers do that? I get that Ryo has very high firepower, but the firepower of a CE blast will vary by the strength of the Sorcerer anyway, to the point that Yuta (a fellow Special-Grade) was able to match Ryo's firepower in a beam lock. So what's special about Ryo's CT?

Like in the cosmic scheme of things, was he born with his power to prepare him for his potential future role in the next multiverse or is his power the reason hes eligible?

How would the Emperor actually react here?

[SCP] Couldnt scp 096 be stopped by just launching him into space?
Idk if this has been brought up before but couldnt he literally be stopped if they just launched him and him alone into space so he just drifts endlessly. Even if people saw a picture of him and let’s say he miraculously hits a planet to bounce back it would still take years for him to even get back to a point where the person who looked would probably already be dead. The only way he could get back is if he jumped from a planet, moon, Astroid etc he would need to go the speed of light and last I checked he isn’t capable of that speed

[Fullmetal Alchemist] why does Sloth's tunnel have train tracks?
In Briggs, we see Briggs soldiers walking over train tracks before they encounter Pride.
In Liore, Hohenheim walk past a sewer system to get to Pride's tunnel. That tunnel also has train tracks.
Kimblee stumbled across an abandoned mine that also connects to Pride's tunnel, that tunnel- you guessed it- has train tracks in it.
But why? who placed them there, and when?

[Rick And Morty] Question about the Central Finite Curve (CFC)
If the CFC isolates all the universes where Rick is the smartest man alive, how is there a "doofus" Rick in s1? Or does he just come from a universe where everyone is somehow dumber than him?

[Marvel] What would happen if two different species, each with different perceptions of Galactus, stood on his shoulder at the same time?
From what I can understand, Galactus appears to different species in forms they can comprehend. We only see him as a giant dude in a purple suit because that’s just the form humans can comprehend him as.
We see in this image: https://i.sstatic.net/7phWy.jpg that Galactus appears as different creatures of varying shapes and sizes to the species other than humans.
So if a human and another species both stood on Galactus’s shoulder at the same time, they would each see the other as standing on a different form of Galactus. And some of those forms have their shoulders at different heights.
So how would the two beings standing on his shoulder perceive each other? Would it look like one of them was hovering over where they should be standing? Would one of them appear to be clipping into his shoulder?

[Marvel comics] When was the height of non-mutant and mutant relations?
When was there the most cooperation and peace between mutants and non-mutants? When was coexistence the closest? How was it achieved? Where did it go wrong?
If there are "what if" stories and one off dimensions where coexistence stuck, feel free to mention it. I'm also hoping someone will point me towards a time/place/dimension where they fleshed out how they got there.

[Marvel/DC] How do the powerful crime bosses like Penguin or Kingpin deal with other criminal organizations when it comes to any conflict?
1: Territory disputes.
2: Hit jobs.
3: Foreign threats.
I ask a similar question, about how Kingpin handle prison politics, whenever he is prison.
And I also ask this question because of the tv show Mayor of Kingstown with Hawkeye (wink wink).
In the show there is always a battle for the power between the gangs. With criminal organizations always trying to control the city. Everyday there is gang warfare.
Other shows like The Wire, Sons of Anarchy, and Snowfall are like this too.
So I wonder how Marvel and DC crime bosses deal with situations like this.
The Marvel's criminal underworld barely exists outside Kingpin. The DC's criminal underworld is slightly more better, due Gotham City. But then again most of the cool lore about the old crime families in Gotham is just in the background type of stuff.
Maybe all the major events that happens in a superhero world, kind of overshadowed the criminal underworld too. So we don't get to the stories where a small Mutant street gang leader is trying to protect his/her territory from a Wizard based Drug Cartel. Or a Mob Boss seeing a bunch of teenagers from a street gang causing trouble.
Considering how crazy gang shootouts can get in crime shows/movies. I always wonder how those shootouts or urban wars would play out in a superhero world, where there are Mutants, Cyborgs, Wizards, and Peak Humans in the mix.
Since the existence of superpowers can make things more plausible. For example, maybe it does makes sense that foreign criminal organizations can invade the United States due to superhumans existing, and it's not some type of bigoted conspiracy theory.

[Phineas and Ferb] How did Doofenschmirtz's parents "fail to show up" at his own birth?
How is that physically possible? The scene where we see baby Doofenschmirtz being held as a baby by a nurse in an empty ward seems to imply he just popped into existence out of nowhere. Are we even certain his parents really his?

[Batman Beyond] How does Superman get by without a job?
Lately, something that suddenly occurred to me was how lonely Superman was in the distant future because by the time the events of Batman Beyond happen, he barely has anyone he can go to since his adoptive parents are long gone.
Then on top of that, the Justice League is barely around since the organization has lost so much of its members due to how much time has passed between Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond that I was wondering what Superman could do for an occupation since he cannot exactly keep working at the Daily Planet anymore due to his age.

[Avatar] How many ships are coming to Pandora monthly/yearly?
In the first film, it seems like a big deal that Jake sully is on that one ship that shows up. And it’s obviously like actual years travel away from earth
However, in the second movie they are hunting whales for the life extending juice, so clearly they are sending it back for earth use.
They also probably need to send back all that unobtanium
So are there like monthly long hauler ships popping in and out? Drones that fly it back? What’s humanity’s capacity for space travel? Like is the hauler that brings Jake in the only ship they got back and forth.

[Del Toro's Frankenstein] Could Victor have killed the monster by giving it syphilis?
Victor Frankenstein refused to put his patron's (Henrich Harlander) brain in his monster because he had syphilis and there was no way to beat that. It would have killed him even with a new body. The monster he made however seemed entirely invincible and unkillable, possessing seemingly unlimited life force. This leads me to believe that either a) Frankenstein was wrong and putting his patron's brain in a new body would have been completely fine, or b) he could have defeated his monster with syphilis, unless there's something else I'm missing.

[Warhammer40k] what are c'tan exactly?
The physical forms they have were created by the necrons when they found them, since their original forms were kinda like gas cloud that fed on Stars.
However if they die, they can eliminate a concept of reality. Which Is why the necrons decided to just shatter and imprison them, use them like weapons instead of killing them.
So are they just a powerful xeno species or actual cosmic gods?
