Most likely he is a Democrat. I'd ask why you think so (though I do think that DC revealed such political leanings at one point), but I get the impression that's a topic for the Politics and Current Affairs forum instead of this one. But it is about a fictional person, do not know if it would fit in Politics and Current Affairs, unless you make a topic about what party they would belong to if they where a member of a party. |

I was curious as to why you predicted that B. Wayne would be a Democrat rather than, say, a Republican or an Independent--hence why I wanted to ask. To actually answer my question here would've meant delving into current events, which there's an entirely separate space on the forum for. |

Well it is what i think he would be, not know what you think which party he supports. |

Well it is what i think he would be, not know what you think which party he supports. I honestly don't know, though Wayne would probably distrust both sides in practice and--as times and therefore needs change--adjust his personal politics accordingly. Given that I was long of the impression that DC would be politically neutral and therefore disclose little to nothing about characters' alignments on the spectrum, I haven't though much about Batman's views until now (aside from being a presumably democratic, civil liberties-supporting capitalist). |

'Fictional Characters React to Other Settings', i.e. Star Wars reacting to Star Trek and and vice-versa.

'WI the Q Continuum Started Exploding Stars For Funzies?' Not only would this be frivolous, it'd also be a downright mass death scenario--which is a complete no-no around here and thus, unacceptable to post as a full-blown thread.
Ah, well.

I think that happen during the Q Civil War, but yes, it would be looked upon here as a bad thing, doing mass death scenario simple because they can. |

I'm aware of supernovas ensuing as a side effect of the Q Civil War, but I doubt they did it just because they could. If that became the case, however, things would quickly turn genocidal and likely apocalyptic for the lesser races of the Milky Way. That'd sure be a time that puts the World Wars of 20th Century Earth to shame. |

A twist just came to me reading this. If your familiar with the Arthur C Clarke short story The_Star, where a supernova is identified as the star that guided the three magi/wise men to the birth of Jesus. Imagine if Q claims to have exploded that star - making it one without a live bearing planet circling it to avoid the mass murder? |

I wonder how many people would believe Q if he were to make that claim. There'd certainly be room for doubt, dealing with a godlike entity who can fake stuff without people ever being able to see through it for sure. |

'WI Q Started Screwing With The Pokemon Universe?' Has he not already. We likely don't know for sure, but there should be little room for surprise in case he has. Maybe Q could appear before Ash & Entourage, introducing himself and dressing as a Pokemon trainer like how he dons a Starfleet uniform when visiting Captain Picard & Company? |

That would be fun to see happening. I agree. While he's at it, Q would also take the opportunity to screw with the Legendary and Mythical species of the setting--perhaps even make a fool out of them to a global audience of awed and completely disbelieving denizens on national TV, just because he can. Forcing Mew to jump through hoops or Regigigas to lift disproportionately large weights are some of the crueler examples of what Q might make his new "pets" endure. Then again, maybe he'd "merely" content himself with causing mischief for them--and take on the guise of a human (!) while doing so. |
