[EU] Wolverine, X-23, Sabertooth, and others like them aren't mutants or clones. They're just Canadian, because that's what good healthcare, a love for hockey, and lots of maple syrup do to a person.

[WP] It took hundreds of millions of dollars to do it, but a large tech company managed to create a machine learning model that could, given sufficient time to process a person's digital footprint, create a sentient and sapient digital being.

[WP]Severus Snape spent years mentally preparing himself for the arrival of Harry Potter, since he didn't want to go hard on him just because of his own biases.
