The Incredible Hulk was as an American television series based on the Marvel Comics character The Hulk and his alter-ego Doctor Bruce Banner. The series, aired on CBS, was primarily inspired by the 1978 series of the same name. It starred Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Mark Ruffalo as Jack McGee, a reporter investigating the Hulk, and Lou Ferrigno voicing the Hulk himself. The series was part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, and was developed in the wake of Iron Man's success. The show was followed up by a feature film of the same name.

Notable episodes
"The Beginning" - At Culver University, Bruce Banner participates in a test to enhance his body chemistry via gamma radiation, bt accidentally turns himself into the Hulk. Notably has guest appearances by Will Hurt as General Thaddeus Ross and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, Bruce's fiancee.

"Savage Hunter" - Bruce is wandering in Minnesota when he hears rumors of a creature known as the Wendigo - which eats human flesh. Also has a Lou Ferrigno in a supporting role as a hunter who aids Banner.

"Thief in The Night" - A man identifying himself as "Bruce Banner" manages to steal several classified military secrets. Bruce, while incognito must enlist the covert aid of Jack McGee to find the real culprit.

"On The Trail" - Jack McGee attempts to wriggle information out of General Ross after "new evidence" appears regarding the disaster that created the Hulk. This episode also has a cameo from Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man/Tony Stark.

"Second Chances" - Bruce discovers that Betty is courting Dr. Leonard Samson , another scientist who is interested in weaponizing gamma radiation. Bruce tries to dissaude Samson from doing so, out of fear that he may create a second Hulk.

"The Snare" - A remake of the original 1979 Hulk episode of the same name. In it, Banner finds himself at the mercy of former soldier and hunter Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), who becomes interested in hunting down Banner as the Hulk. This episode's opening credits are also significantly different from the regular series, being a shot-for-shot remake of the 1978 series' opening titles.

"Prometheus" - The series finale, which sets up the follow-up theatrical film. Banner recieves word that a man named "Mr. Blue" might be able to cure him of the Hulk, but is cornered by General Ross, who wants to capture him and the Hulk for the military. Adding to the mix is a mysterious man in black who may be playing both sides against each other. (NOTE: This episode is similarly named to a two-parter of the Bill Bixby series, but bears little connection other than the title.)

This is more fanciful, but, who cares? In this alternate history Wikipedia infobox, Laika survives her orbit around the Earth and safely reenters the Earth's atmosphere. This was inspired by me reading the comic as a kid and crying like a baby at the end.

And she's given the Hero of the Soviet Union medal---because she deserves it, gosh darn it! 13/10 good doggo.
the.......comic?
 
How did this Doctor Who TL get around the regeneration limit issue?
The Doctor is granted a new regeneration cycle from a faction of Time Lords that hid in a pocket universe separate from Gallifrey on a small planet called Ravolox. It is revealed that the Faces shown during the mind-bending battle with Morbius were the previous regeneration cycle of the Doctor from before the 1st incarnation that went by the title of The Warrior. The 8 Warrior incarnations used an entire regeneration cycle due to the 8th one being forced to regenerate and have their memories erased as punishment for a crime, at the end being granted a new regeneration cycle and regenerating as a child on Gallifrey, later becoming the 1st Doctor.
Total incarnations of the "Doctor", who spent any time traveling around the universe, are as follows
latest

1st Warrior, 2nd Warrior, 3rd Warrior, 4th Warrior, 5th Warrior, 6th Warrior, 7th Warrior, 8th Warrior
latest

1st Doctor, 2nd Doctor, 3rd Doctor, 4th Doctor, 5th Doctor, 6th Doctor, 7th Doctor, 8th Doctor, War Doctor, 9th Doctor, 10th Doctor, 11th Doctor, 12th Doctor (Pictured)
13th Doctor, 14th Doctor.
Note: The Meta-Crisis Doctor does not exist which means the 13th Doctor is the first of a New Regeneration Cycle

Nice work. Also the other possible reason for the Doctor looking like Clara is to reveal she wasn't lying to those Cybermen. "Clara" was a future Doctor all along playing the role of companion to complete a time loop and ensure certain events she remembers actually take place as they should. (Chiefly Day of the Doctor as by this point certain revelations mean she knows Time was a con job).

Having spent years forced to re-enact the past and with no real ability to escape the script "Clara-Doctor" is more determined than usual to alter time for the better now she has the option.
Honestly, I do like this explanation better. This is a much better reason. This is the canon now.

I really wish I knew how to add infoboxes to this website.:( I already know how to make them (I've been editing Wikipedia since 2013 and have had an account since 2017) and have read the instructions on this website on how to bring them here as follows:

1: Click the edit option for the article (view source if article is locked).
2: Change info on the infobox.
3: Hit preview (don not save changes)
4: Take a snapshot
5: Alternatively, copy and paste the infobox into your user sandbox and then take a snapshot.

I get all those steps except the fourth one. How do you take a snapshot of the infobox? Can someone please tell me how to do that?

I typically use the snip tool on windows and cut out the infobox.

On windows, I use a program called the Snipping Tool, it lets you select sections of the screen and save them as image files.

When an image is too big to be gotten at once, I take successive snips and stitch them together in Paint or any convenient program.

As others have said, the snipping tool on your OS is the easiest way of using it. It's not the only way, but it is the easiest.
 
So I'm getting info about this so-called snipping tool. How do you access it?

I'll come back tomorrow morning and find out.
If you have windows 10, just type snipping tool onto the search bar next to the task bar at the bottom of your desktop, then click the snipping tool program when it shows up. When it opens, click on the "new" button to create a new snip, snip the Wikibox you created, and then copy and paste it onto the comment bar.

Alright dude, I've coped your instructions down on a piece of paper. Tomorrow, I'll try it out to see if it really works! Thanks for the help guys! See you all in the morning! Good night!

The Second Bush ministry began on 23 May 2018, when Governor General Zalmay Khalilzad invited John Bush to form a new government following the 2018 federal election. Prior to the election Bush had led the Conservative—Christian coalition, a coalition government that consisted of members of the Conservatives and the Christians, with Christian leader Rafael Cruz as Deputy Prime Minister. The composition of the cabinet changed completely, with only Minister of Foreign Affairs Michael Pompeo and Minister for the Cabinet Office, Postmaster General and Paymaster General Kevin McCarthy retaining their portfolios. The cabinet was criticised for its lack of diversity, featuring only two female members and one member of an ethnic minority. The average age of the cabinet was 55.3 years old in 2018.

Minister of Defence Richard Burr resigned on 15 May 2020 and was replaced by Robert Bishop.

THE BEATLES AT LIVE AID
13th July 1985

It is just after 9:30pm at Wembley Stadium on the 13th July 1985 when Elton John, moments after playing 'Don't let the sun go down on me' along with Wham! that he walks to the centre of the now pitch black stage behind him (With Ray Cooper and his four piece horn section still standing awaiting for their next performance).

"I introduced a member of this band on a stage in New York on Thanksgiving," he beams, "and guess we have to thank Geldof for making this happen as its my and your pleasure to see and hear....The Beatles!"

The crowd erupts, the sheer force surprising even an artist like Elton who is used to such wild adulation. He quickly exits stage right as the world waits just a little longer for something that has been absent for almost 20 years and something that many thought wasn't possible - John, Paul, George & Ringo on a stage together...

Liberals sweep back into power with clear majority
Naheed Nenshi makes history as the first Muslim-Canadian PM


For the Liberals, it was a night of unexpected triumph and jubilation. For the New Democrats and the National Alliance, it was a night of deflated and dashed hopes. Polling and most pundits had been predicting the closest and most three-cornered election since 1980, with last-minute polling suggesting a late swing to the Liberal Party being written off a fluke.

The prospect of a majority government came as a surprise even to many Liberals, who started the campaign in third place and whose leaders' seat appeared to be under threat at the beginning of the campaign. But Nenshi is used to defying expectations, having beaten more established Liberals to the leadership and denying the NDP a second majority in 2017, both in polling upsets. The Liberal campaign was notable for its use of viral social media techniques and the large degree of autonomy afforded to volunteers and campaigners, utilising guerrilla marketing tactics and spontaneous rallies, as well as Nenshi's promises of transparency over donors, an important step for a party long-dogged by donation scandals. At a victory rally in downtown Calgary, Nenshi delivered an impassioned and triumphant victory speech, decrying the failures of the incumbent NDP and promising two-way dialogue with voters as "politics in full sentences".

The night was a disappointment for the Canadian Alliance and Option nationale, who hoped to form the first conservative national government since John Diefenbaker. The announcement of a "National Alliance", an electoral pact between the two parties, regularly tied for first place with the NDP for much of 2019 and early 2020. Even after the writs were dropped, polling suggested that under the vigorous leadership of former Trois-Riveres Mayor Yves Lévesque, the party would sweep Quebec, while the young Michelle Rempel was seen as an "acceptable face" for the Alliance voters among voters outside the Prairies, unencumbered by the party's socially conservative baggage. But the party suffered from message discipline and a poorly-received manifesto, dogged by questions about the workability of a national referendum on pipelines and the Alliance's broader climate change policy.

The incumbent New Democrats were seen to have similarly suffered through much of the campaign. The NDP campaign was thrown off-course early on by the unexpectedly poor growth figures announced early in the campaign, as well as by comments made by candidates campaigning for the leadership of the Quebec branch of the party. Boulerice was forced to suspend several NDP officials in New Brunswick over comments suggesting that Nenshi's race and faith made the Liberals "unelectable" in Quebec and Atlantic Canada, as well as dismissing Regional Development Minister Peter Stoffer over allegations of sexual harassment. The New Democratic campaign underestimated and largely ignored the Liberal Party, focusing their attacks on the National Alliance, who threatened the NDP in their Quebec strongholds. In the end the Liberals proved to be just as much of a threat even in those areas, picking up 20 seats in Quebec. As well as losing 87 seats, the NDP saw several high-profile MPs and ministers defeated, such as Health Minister Guy Caron, Public Safety Minister Robert Chisholm and Canadian Heritage Minister Wab Kinew all losing their seats.

Many pundits are now suggesting that the pivotal moments that undid the polling deadlock in the Liberals' favour took place in the televised debates. The two debates, one English-language and one French-language, were controversial and subject to much negotiation; the NDP refused to participate in a debate that included both the Canadian Alliance and Option nationale's leaders, which would allow the conservative electoral pact to effectively "double up". In the end, Rempel represented the National Alliance in the English debate and Lévesque in the French one. Nenshi was well-received in both debates as appearing statesmanlike and persuasive; many French-language outlets expressed pleasant surprise at Nenshi's fluent performance in the French debates, especially after the Westerner's subdued performance in the debates three years earlier. Boulerice was seen to have been done damage by Alex Tyrell's constant attacks on NDP's record on child poverty and pursuing free trade agreements, while Rempel faced much grilling over anti-immigration and social conservative figures in her party, and the Alliance's position on the environment. All three major party leaders struggled to explain their positions on government formation in the event of another hung parliament- positions that in the end proved to be irrelevant.

At-a-glance
Nenshi and his new Liberal cabinet are expected to be sworn in by Governor-General Bob Rae in approximately four weeks time.

Alexandre Boulerice has announced that he will be resigning as NDP leader effective immediately; Deputy Prime Minister Adrian Dix is expected to take charge as interim NDP leader and Leader of the Opposition pending a leadership contest. An NDP spokeswoman confirmed that the timing and rules of the contest would be agreed to before the end of the year.

Alliance Leader Michelle Rempel hailed success of the National Alliance at an election night rally in Calgary, and indicated that she would be staying on as Alliance leader. She promised that she would meet with Lévesque as soon as the new Parliament was sworn in to form a joint shadow cabinet with Option nationale.

Several Option nationale election night events were disrupted by bomb scares caused by threats delivered to several news outlets by the Front Liberation du Quebec. No incendiary devices were recovered from any threatened venues.

Quebec Premier Maxime Bernier congratulated Nenshi for his victory, while warning the incoming Liberals against interfering with Quebec's special reserved powers "for the sake of virtue signalling". Premier Aheer of Alberta expressed disappointment at the failure of the National Alliance, warning that "an anti-growth agenda remains in power in Ottawa", while Ontario's Bonnie Crombie also sent congratulations to Mr. Nenshi, calling for the Liberals to continue Boulerice's committment to billion-dollar infrastructure projects already under construction such as the Toronto-Montreal ViaFast high speed rail project.

Speaker of the House of Commons Glen Murray has confirmed that he will seek a re-election to the speakership.
 
Something a little different since The Undertaker is my favorite wrestler.

The Streak.png


Some notes...
[1] This timeline assumes that 'Taker was healthy enough not to miss any WrestleManias from his first one up 'til 31. This also applies to Stone Cold appearing at WM 2000.
[2] As to why Undertaker gets to fight Shawn Michaels a lot earlier than he did is because A) The Giant Gonzales match in the OTL just plain sucks and B) 'Taker having the Intercon title would make him a Grand Slam champion if his OTL title wins are carried over.
[3] Undertaker has gone on record saying that he really wanted to work with Yokozuna when he debuted, but got Gonzales instead.
[4] Edge in this timeline won WM 23's Money in the Bank ladder match, instead of Mr. Kennedy as per OTL, hence Edge keeps his own streak intact... until WM XXIV.
[5] Taker does retire with the Streak intact. After WM31, he and Sting go have a feud with Sting getting a win at Summerslam. However they are forced to team with Kane against the Wyatt Family, who seek to supplant the Undertaker as ''WWE's greatest force of darkness". The feud culminates at Survivor Series 2015 in a traditional Survivor Series match. Eventually, as the last survivors of their respective teams, Bray Wyatt gets the pinfall win over the Undertaker.
