oday, the Cold War has disappeared but thousands of those weapons have not. In a strange turn of history, the threat of global nuclear war has gone down, but the risk of a nuclear attack has gone up. More nations have acquired these weapons. Testing has continued. Black market trade in nuclear secrets and nuclear materials abound. The technology to build a bomb has spread. Terrorists are determined to buy, build or steal one. Our efforts to contain these dangers are centered on a global non-proliferation regime, but as more people and nations break the rules, we could reach the point where the center cannot hold.
Now, understand, this matters to people everywhere. One nuclear weapon exploded in one city -– be it New York or Moscow, Islamabad or Mumbai, Tokyo or Tel Aviv, Paris or Prague –- could kill hundreds of thousands of people. And no matter where it happens, there is no end to what the consequences might be -– for our global safety, our security, our society, our economy, to our ultimate survival.
Some argue that the spread of these weapons cannot be stopped, cannot be checked -– that we are destined to live in a world where more nations and more people possess the ultimate tools of destruction. Such fatalism is a deadly adversary, for if we believe that the spread of nuclear weapons is inevitable, then in some way we are admitting to ourselves that the use of nuclear weapons is inevitable.
Just as we stood for freedom in the 20th century, we must stand together for the right of people everywhere to live free from fear in the 21st century. (Applause.) And as nuclear power –- as a nuclear power, as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the United States has a moral responsibility to act. We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it, we can start it.
So today, I state clearly and with conviction America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.

Actually they aren't.  Her real defining traits are her fear of isolation and her desire to please others.  

“He also is a person that kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries. Obviously that would be a concern, would it not,” Scarborough asked.

“Our country does plenty of killing also Joe,” Trump replied. “He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country.”

I don't think anyone believes he had that name before five years ago. They think he's just another guy in LA with a gimmick

the Saint, John Steed, Emma Peel, Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Fu Manchu, Bulldog Drummond and Miss Marple.”

The Peter Parker they killed off was pretty redundant.  Just the same guy again, which isn't really making proper use of an alternate universe. 

Baldur was 
 
A;  Wildly popular with the Aesir (and everyone else in fact)
B:  Destined to succeed Odin as the ruler.  
 
Now who could possibly be threatened by that?  

There were lots of black cowboys in the real American West.  
 
 
 
McDonalds business model is based on being a lot less expensive and time consuming than 5 star grub.  It's not a model that applies to theater movies.  You can't charge less for a low end movie, cycle your viewers through faster and make up the difference in volume.

I once had a fanfic idea where Conan/Shinichi discovers that he's supernaturally led to imminent homicides because Loki granted his wish to become the world's greatest detective.  Now Loki wants him to return the favour by proving that Loki didn't really kill Baldur.

Her design reminds me of the Starcraft Protoss (those spehrical things on the armor. Those things comming out of her head reminds me of the Khala connection) so I guess I roll with that idea.
 
The Eidolons are not your typical alien species, mainly because they are not a single species at all but still quite easy to identify. The original species early on developed a technique to connect the subconsciousness of Individuums via cybernetic implants - the antenna comming out of thier brains/heads. This resulted in them becomming a semi-collective: Shared subconscious, but still individuals. Able to understand each other instrictively, yet not loose themself.
The have peacefully existed for centuries. They allowed any person of any species to join thier ranks, resulting in them becomming not quite a single species anymore. Them allowing the smartest and the outcast of every race into thier fold allowed thier scientific knowledge to skyrocket. However such knowledge breeds envy and they had to maintain a strong Military to halt invasions of thier few colonised planets. They never had any ambition besides existing and not getting disturbed in thier entire history. Until now.
 
Recently there has been a drastical change in ther behavior:
They have grown more a lot more agressive and imperialistic. They have not yet resorted to forcefully integrating anybody (as far as is known), but species near them feel more uneasy every day with thier actions. It is unknown what brought on this change, but many asume they might have allowed to many of an agressive species into thier fold, resulting in thier shared mind becomming "tainted" with agressive emotions. Or maybe thier subconsciousness fell under the sway of a telepath.
In either case they are now a menace to be looked out for.
 
Silium was an advanced scout of the Eidolons send to earth, to scout out potential for invasion. However due to the super population she quickly got "stuck" on this backwater planet: Earth can't be easily invaded and might even be an issue for further expansion. She was active as a villainess for some time until something happened:
The antenna comming out of her head - the connection to the shared subconsciousness - were damaged, reducing the influence of the semi-collective on her personality drastically. And she suddenly realised that something was definitely not right with her people.
 
Since then she renamed herself to Salvation and joined the hero side of the Superpopulation, to make up for previous misdeeds. However her true focus remains on saving th Eidolons from whatever has taken hold of them. But she is not yet sure how to go about it:
She can't approach thier planets or even fleets, without risk of becomming affected again.
Enemies of the Eidolons hunt her.
Even the Eidolons themself hunt her, seeing her as traitor and security risk.
And there is the whole thing that she used to be a villainess.
 
But Sillium/Salvation won't give up. She knows that deep in thier heart, her people depend on her to cut out whatever has affected her people. The future of the Eidolons depends on her, one of the few remaining free members unaffected by the taint.

Those who put "Hell" in their name can expect to visit it.  

For my own bid, I say Facade.
 
She creates illusions of things you fear, "You'll reap what you've sown now!!"  She's more of an anti-hero, punishing those who deserve it!!
 
Mental illusions to confuse the mind, "Are you sure you really saw what you say you saw??"

Saint and Sinner, a Christian superhero, Saint who unwittingly changes into her villainous alter ego, the tall scythe wielding Sinner at times of stress and vice versa. Neither of the two are aware of each other though they hunt one another.

That fits well to a previous Idea a had way back, just a small adaption for the pupeteer part was nessesary:
 
A few Heroes and many villains use fear as one of thier primary tools. And what could be more fearfull then the Grim Reaper itself? While this isn't the actually grim reaper (if he even exists), this is a close second.
 
At some point in an alternate future the Trinity of Destruction - Urzanel, Azranel and Enranel - was fused back into the single* blade they originally were. A weapon capable of cutting life, machine and magic equally effortlessly, without the need of learning how to override it's limiting targetting ability. However even thier combined might prooved insufficient to overcome a great evil. So the then wielder of it* - a Grand grand daughter of Armin - travelled back in time to make sure it would not come to pass again.
 
For her the sword(s) manifested as the oddest weapon so far - a giant reaper puppet that she controls via strings:
Each wielder of the 3 blades suffered from the weapon influencing thier personality. But only for her this conflict is directly obvious in the real world. When activating her power she somehow "splits" off part of her personality from the rest. That split part takes on the form of the reaper and is affected by the swords influence exclusively. The strings controlling it are a manifestation of the struggle between the original personality and the influence of the blades.
 
Oddly enough the re-fused blade is overlooked by the other 3 blades. In turn it* wants to destroy all 3. Along with the rest of the universe. Then the rest of the Multiverse. Then all other multiverses in all other timelines. Then time itself. Then several things that are even more fundamental then time, timelines and Verses, that humans have no words for yet.
Yes, this blade was split appart for a reason. And one can only hope it* is split up again soon, before it get's a host not ready for it....
 
 
*The weapon lacks a name. It somehow destroys any name given to it that is more precise then "it" (including any descriptive naming), the second it is named by it. You can still use the word or phrase. In fact you can use that as the swords name again once. Just the fact that you refered to the weapon as such is "lost" from reality the moment you do so.

And for something superficial:  Those Hawk costumes are the best looking full-on superhero costumes ever seen on television.  Also the FX wings were way way better than the previous TV Hawkman could show.

That "Galactus" is actually rather like DC equivalent, the Sun-Eaters.  

I think she'd prefer not to incinerate people, just as a thought.

I think this show is trying to reach a younger demographic. Helen and Calista have the 50-and-over demo covered. They don't need to add another golden girl like Petty to the mix. ;-)

They were NND Blasts.  Debilitating against living tissue but ineffective against inanimate objects. 

Sounds like a standard felony traffic stop. The error wasn't with the officers, it was with the person who made the data entry error. We did the exact same thing when a plate came back as stolen when I was an MP, or when the driver had felony warrants.

So, it only took ten minutes to sort out the error. No mention that the guy was handled roughly at all. No brutality here.
