— Vegeta, Dragon Ball Z Abridged

Multiple Media
- Various incarnations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy have the Vogons do this to Earth, ostensibly to make way for a hyperspacial express route, though it's really because Earth is calculating the Ultimate Question, and would put all the psychoanalysts in the universe out of business if it finished. In the novel Mostly Harmless, the Vogons finally succeed in destroying not just Earth, but every version of Earth across all the infinite parallel realities. Douglas Adams was in a very bad mood when he wrote that one.
- Superman's backstory is his planet Krypton exploding spectacularly, becoming the Last (or close enough) Son of Kypton. Occasionally, the planet's sun is what goes, which would push those versions into Class X-2, but the majority just had the planet explode. As of Infinite Crisis, Krypton's sun Rao still exists in the comics, but the entire planet was blown to smithereens, presumably naturally.
- Transformers has had Unicron eat a planet or two.
- He's also eaten a universe or two. It's All There in the Manual.
Anime and Manga
- Earth and (eventually) Namek in Dragon Ball Z. Earth was reset with the Dragon Balls, and part of Namek's population was resurrected and given a new home. Arlia was less lucky.
- Earth actually gets it twice, first from Kid Buu (although Super Buu had performed a Class 3 previously), then again in GT thanks to the effects of the Black Star Dragon Balls. The Namekian Dragon Balls restored it both times.
- Planet Vegeta gets it before either of them, courtesy of Frieza himself.
- And Frieza has a move called "Destroy the Planet."
- Broly does this countless times. Ironically, he survived Frieza blowing up Planet Vegeta.
- Majin Buu does this so many times.
- And then Beerus from Dragon Ball Super takes it one step further when he blows up half a planet - by tapping one finger!
- Later, Vados destroys a planet with a simple tap from her staff. She doesn't even need to touch it to blow it up!
- In the "Resurrection 'F'" film and Dragon Ball Super anime adaption, Frieza destroys Earth after being beaten by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta, though Whis is able to protect all the other Z Fighters present (except for Piccolo who dies saving Gohan in "Super"). However fortunately, Whis reminds Goku of his Temporal Do-Over he had mentioned previously while he and Vegeta where training on Beerus' planet, which allows Whis to rewind time back three minutes allowing Goku to kill Frieza before he destroys the Earth. Goku kills Frieza with a Kamehameha preventing the destruction of Earth from ever occurring.
- In the manga, during his fight with Beerus eons ago, Champa accidentally misses Beerus and kicks the planet they are on. Cue instant explosion.
- Futari Wa Pretty Cure Splash Star, though it was reversed.
- In Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, humans nearly blasted Earth, averted only by Invid Regess destroying the missiles. Though they were aiming for Class 2-3 just to get rid of the Invid, but underestimated the power of the Neutron-S missiles.
- In Infinite Ryvius, the Blue Impulse uses gravity manipulation to shatter Saturn's moon Hyperion, killing everyone on it. All six Vaia Ships working in unison would have enough power to alter the ecliptic plane of the entire solar system, which could potentially cause a Class X-2, although they were actually designed to use this ability to prevent a Class X-2.
- Eureka Seven has a phenomenon known as the Limit of Questions. If there are too many intelligent life forms, a black hole or something will destroy the planet. Specifically, the Limit of Questions means that too much sapient life occupying a certain amount of space will create a rift that destroys damn near everything close by, like, say, the planet said life is on.
- Attempted in Diebuster, using Earth as a projectile at significant fractions of the speed of light. The attempt is stopped by Nono/Buster Machine 7 as the Diebuster
- RahXephon. Temporarily.
- Sailor Galaxia is seen casually destroying planets in Sailor Moon StarS way early on in the series.
- She's also seen doing it in her backstory in the manga. And that was before meeting Chaos.
- Macross:
- The Dimension Eater in Macross Frontier. The one we saw took a very large (like a quarter) out of Gallia IV. A couple more would probably finish the job completely.
- The Protodeviln Gigil annihilates roughly half a planet's mass when he dies in Macross 7. The rest of the planet quickly breaks apart due to the strain immediately after.
- The titular Hellstar Remina devours the Earth whole.
- This nearly happened in Kill la Kill courtesy of the Life Fibers, which can form a cocoon in the sky over the planet, then breed while absorbing the planet's energy until it blows up and spreads the Fibers through space, in search of new worlds.
- Too many Marvel and DC Comics plotlines to count.
- Narrowly averted in a Donald Duck story about the Universal Solvent, which dissolves everything except diamonds and does not dissipate. When it's poured to the ground, it's going to keep dissolving the planet from within unless the heroes recapture it with a diamond-linen container.
- Adam Warren's adaptation of the Dirty Pair revealed that the Earth had been destroyed decades earlier in a massive Grey Goo outbreak, the "Nanoclysm", which led to nanotechnology being regulated and virtually outlawed. The villain of the miniseries planned to use a cache of nanotech to take over Heroes "R" Us's Central Computer, and from there, the known universe. (Unfortunately, the Central Computer revealed that it was partially based on something the Nanoclysm left humanity as an apology )
Fan Fiction
- Clash of the Elements: At the peak of his Villainous Breakdown Joe Dark starts charging up an attack that was stated by the Star Spirits to be capable of destroying an entire planet.
- The duplicate tries to do this in The Pez Dispenser And The Reign Of Terror by setting Halley's Comet on course for the Earth. Calvin manages to stop him by blowing up the comet while they're fighting on it.
- It is mentioned by Lord of Change (cough, Mercury, cough cough) at the end of Phoenix-fire that one of the the only two sure-fire ways to kill him would be to do this to Earth. The kicker? It wants to die. The other way? Wait until the Earth has cooled down enough to not even have the energy of a campfire.
- In the Magical Girl Crossover Shattered Skies, this is done by the heroes to the uninhabited planet Carnaaji, as a last-ditch effort to keep a resurrected and repowered Book of Darkness and a planet-eating monstrosity from escaping off-world.
- Star Wars: The Death Star has the power to destroy entire planets, and in A New Hope, it is used on Alderaan, Leia's home planet. Rogue One reveals that it can create a massive but localized wave of destruction on a planet's surface as well, if only one reactor is activated.
- In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the unstable Genesis planet falls apart. Special mention is however reserved for the Genesis Device in Star Trek II, given that it formed a planet from a nebula, which would make it a Class negative X. Or the Class X equivalent if you happen to be a Nebula being.
- In Star Trek VI, the Klingon moon Praxis blows up.
- And now appearing again in 2009's Star Trek film, this time Vulcan, by being sucked into a Black Hole.
- The British 1961 film The Day the Earth Caught Fire has the Earth hurtling towards the Sun when it's thrown out of orbit by a series of large nuclear tests at both poles.
- Arguably, Metaluna's fate in This Island Earth; it's hard to say it's really there if it's now a burning radioactive 'sun'.
- The much larger planet Melancholia smashes into Earth and apparently absorbs all of its mass.
- When Worlds Collide: A star is on a collision course with Earth. Since the end is inevitable, the story concentrates on how to save a handful of lives.
- The Cthulhu Mythos has Dholes, enormous worms that destroy planets by burrowing through them until they collapse. In the Tabletop RPG based on the books, an investigator unfortunate enough to be attacked directly by a Dhole will get a single roll — to determine if there's enough bits left for a funeral.
- The Lensman books end up using planets as billiard balls against other planets as well as planet-sized masses of antimatter.
- Greg Bear's The Forge of God reaches its climax as a neutronium-antineutronium bomb, deposited in the core of the Earth by malevolent von Neumann machines, detonates, disrupting the entire planet over the course of a few hours with enough force as to put significant portions of it in orbit around the dead, molten remains. A small selection of humanity is rescued before the disaster by another group of friendly von Neumanns who had failed to stop the attack.
- Arthur C. Clarke:
- In Firstborn (in the Time Odyssey saga), has a Class X-lite, with the Q-bomb hitting a planet which will create strange quantum effecst on space-time that will basically rip the upper layer of the planet off. This happened to Mars, when the Martians were eliminated by Firstborn. When Mars gets hit a second time after the Martian from the pocket dimension was contacted by humans and managed to make them divert the Q-bomb, Mars was destroyed completely. The planet's redirection into the sun by the Firstborn (listed in Sunstorm example above in Class 5) is also Class X.
- In Clarke's Odyssey series, "something wonderful" happens to the planet Jupiter. Though it isn't mentioned in the films, Dave Bowman detected life on both Jupiter and Europa; the beings who control the Monoliths deliberately sacrifice Jupiter and its inhabitants to support the Europan life, which they considered to have more potential as intelligent beings.
- In Eric Nylund's Signal to Noise, not-so-nice aliens provide humans with a teleportation system which is powered by the rotational inertia of the planet. The aliens then abuse this system to blow up the Earth, as well as an unrelated detonation of Mars by some post-humans trying to get away from Earth as fast as possible.
- In The Saga of Seven Suns, the Faeros do this to the Moon. Yes, chunks do threaten Earth, but a coordinated response is possible. Additionally, humans destroy a brown dwarf more than 13 times the mass of Jupiter inhabited by Hydrogues, who then obliterate four moons around that once-planet-now-star (Class X destruction), declare war on humanity and the Ildirans, attempt to destroy two human planets, manage to destroy one Ildiran (two would-be Class 3s except other parts of humanity help them, and one Class 4-5 forcing an evacuation of the few who survive up to that point), had attempted to obliterate three ancient races previously, make a second (or possibly even further in) attempt on two of them, destroy a number of skymines, which given the size of the machines and their crew could count as Class 0s, to name a few things that happen.
- In Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game the title character unknowingly destroys the Bugger home world using the Molecular Disruption/Detachment Device (alt. MD. Device, "Dr. Device", "Little Doctor").
- Michael Reaves' The Shattered World is a fantasy novel about a world that already suffered a Class X, but without losing its civilizations or ecosystems. The planet broke apart, but some fast action by the world's wizards kept its many fragments orbiting one another in an envelope of breathable air. The sequel, The Burning Realm, is about attempts to avert the belated Class 3 and Class 5 consequences of this Apocalypse before these orbit-sustaining spells wear out.
- This is Ruin's immediate goal in Mistborn, and he comes uncomfortably close to succeeding. Because he's a literal god of entropy and decay, it's implied that having accomplished this he'd then keep marching up the scale if left unchecked.
- In When Worlds Collide by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer, the Earth is about to be hit and destroyed by the larger of a twin planet. Fortunately the smaller planet is drop-in replacement for Earth. The story (which arguably is the ur-creation that gave rise to stories like Flash Gordon and the many similar tales that followed), revolves around the attempt of a group of scientists to build a pair of rocketships to escape a world facing destruction.
- In Stephen King's one-act play "An Evening at God's," The Almighty is sitting at home in his easy chair, drinking a cold one and trying to watch a sitcom. The Earth hangs in between Him and the TV, blocking His view. Annoyed, He reaches out and crushes it into powder.
- In The Culture series, planetary annihilation is practically a casual event. So much so, that in The Hydrogen Sonata, when a Culture Mind performs a precise hyperspace jump into an underground tunnel, it was quite aware that even the tiniest error in the maneuver would have destroyed the entire planet.
- In The Long Earth, the Gap is an alternate reality in which the Earth is simply gone, presumed to have been destroyed by a massive impact with one or more other celestial bodies.
- Villains by Necessity depicts a world in which the heroes have defeated the forces of evil and been allowed to run through the world unchallenged... essentially upsetting the Balance Of Good and Evil in the opposite direction. As the forces of light continue to spread unchecked the laws of physics twist; nights are shorter and shorter, free will slowly starts to disappear, and a group of villainous cutthroats decide to unleash the Sealed Evil in a Can before the world is "Sublimated." Sublimation will involve the world being consumed by light and wiped out, along with everything on it. During a spiritual vision, one of the villains even observes that such an event could threaten the stability of other worlds and lead to a cascade effect, potentially bumping this up to a higher level of destruction.
- In Worm, the alien entities that granted people superpowers do this as part of their life cycle, obliterating the planet they parasitize in all possible realities.
Live-Action TV
- "The Midnight Sun", a third season episode of the original Twilight Zone presented a scenario in which Earth's orbit had changed course, drawing the planet closer to the sun with each passing day. It turns out to be All Just a Dream, with a twist (a mandatory trope in the Twilight Zone, really). The main character wakes up relieved to be feeling cool and comfortable, unaware that the Earth really has changed it's orbit, only now it's moving away from the sun.
- Doctor Who has a number.
- The home planet of the classic series Cybermen, Mondas.
- The alternate Earth in "Inferno". Later stories in the Expanded Universe downgrade it to a Class 4.
- The eponymous "Impossible Planet" (causing the deaths of hundreds of Ood).
- Martha planned to use the Oster Hagen Key to blow the Earth up with strategically-placed nukes so that the Daleks couldn't go through with the death of reality itself.
- The constant jumping between realities in the series 2 finale also puts the two Earths in danger of crashing into each other. Doesn't stop Rose Tyler trying to get to the Doctor.
- In "Boom Town", Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen plans to use the force of the Rift to tear the Earth apart, riding her tribophysical waveform extrapolator to safety.
- Another example from the classic series, in "The Pirate Planet" there's a 'planet' (more a space craft, but the inhabitants are unaware of this) which eats other planets. When it is finished eating, it makes a hyperspace jump to another planet and starts eating again. It's better than it sounds.
- The Time War burned a lot of planets, such as the home world of the Zygons.
- Babylon 5's Class X member is the Vorlon Planet Killer, which, in accordance with a philosophy of swift and terrible justice, simply obliterates the entire planet being targeted, unlike its Shadow counterpart which leaves the planet intact but lifeless and is therefore only a Class 6. There is some contention over the Vorlon Planet Killer's effectiveness as a Class X weapon, as some of the planets attacked had survivors and atmosphere (as opposed to the planet Arcata 7, which post VPK contact is described as "not there anymore"), though one can get around that by assuming the Shadow bases for said planets were on their moons. The Vorlons would have blown those up, raining down devastation on the planet but not instantly killing absolutely everyone.
- Odyssey 5
- Star Trek gave us the Doomsday Machine, which would break up a planet into smaller chunks and then eat them, and the Xindi Weapon from Star Trek: Enterprise.
- In Star Trek: Voyager, the episode "Scorpion" features Species 8472, which blows a Borg planet to pieces with just 9 small ships.
- The titular ship of Lexx had only one weapon: a Wave Motion Gun that destroyed planets in glorious fashion. In point of fact, any place the Lexx visited was either destroyed by it or something worse (see Mantrid in Class X-4) including the afterlife and in the finale, Earth itself.
- In Andromeda, a planet can be destroyed by either firing a slipstream core at the planet, or by chucking a Nova Bomb at it (though planets hit by Nova Bombs more fall apart than explode).
- While more notable for their Class X-2s, the Stargate-verse has seen its share of destroyed planets. In fact, when Stargate Atlantis had its Gondor Calls for Aid in the fourth season, the Traveler leader is dumbstruck when the Atlantis team casually suggest blowing up the Asuran homeworld.
- In Lost, not entering the numbers into the hatch every 108 minutes and removing the plug from the Island's source is thought to destroy the Earth.
- Season two of the Power Rangers sees Lord Zedd building his own zord Serpentera, a giant craft specifically stated to be capable of wiping out entire planets. In the episode of its introduction, Zedd takes Serpentera, follows the Rangers to a deserted planet, and destroys it. Luckily, with the sheer amount of power it uses, Serpentera runs out of power really quickly, making it a very ineffective weapon in the long-term.
- In the BBC docudrama End Day, the final segment depicts a possible (albeit extremely small chance) result of the Large Hadron Collider (though not called by that name) being turned on. The entire planet gets sucked into a newly formed Black Hole, basically.
- Peter Schilling's "The Noah Plan" has the Earth's orbit slowly decaying as it drifts toward the Sun, forcing a Homeworld Evacuation.
Tabletop Games
- Old Alphatia met this end, forcing the Alphatians' ancestors to emigrate to the Mystara setting. It was an academic dispute between rival factions of archmages that kicked off this particular Earth-Shattering Kaboom.
- Warhammer 40,000's aptly-named Planet Killer and Blackstone Fortresses.
- The Blackstone Fortresses can combine their beams to exponentially increase their effect. One is a Class X, disintegrating the planet by firing the Warp at it (compared to the Planet Killer, which leaves enormous quantities of debris), but three or more could qualify as a X-2, since it is capable of destroying a star, wiping out the entire system with it. Abaddon has two. There were six of them.
- After the Horus Heresy, a freak warp storm obliterated the Dark Angels' homeworld, Caliban, leaving only a scattering of debris. Their fortress-monastery, the Rock, miraculously survived intact. It was refitted with void shields, engines, and atmospheric controls, and now serves as the Angels' mobile base of operations.
- Prior to the Horus Heresy, the Night Lords did this to their own homeworld after their Primarch Konrad Curze deemed the planet beyond saving, with the resulting Exterminatus breaching the planet's crust.
- The planet Eris was blown up in Rocket Age.
- This is the worst case (and most likely) scenario of The Apocalypse Stone.
Video Games
- Planet annihilation is possible in Star Ruler. Simply park a big enough ship nearby, order it to attack, and the ship will bomb the planet to the point where the planet will break up.
- In Kingdom Hearts, The Heartless will do this to a world if they rampage across it unchecked.
- It seems a lot of Metroid games can't go without a planet exploding:
- Mother Brain's self-destruct sequence destroys Planet Zebes in Super Metroid
- Samus causes Dark Aether to be destroyed when she takes the final energy from the Ing in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The inverse almost happened at the start of the game where the Ing was on the verge of acquiring the final energy from Aether, which would have caused that planet to blow up instead had Samus not arrived on time.
- And of course Phaaze in Metroid Prime 3 goes boom, thanks to Samus. Hey, it was aiming for multiple Class 2 catastrophes anyway due to The Corruption, so she beat it to the punch!
- And a Buy One, Get One Free deal in Metroid Fusion: Samus executes a Colony Drop of the Biologic Space Labs station onto Planet SR388, annihilating both bodies.
- In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a meteor controlled by Deoxys is on a collision course with the Earth and threatens to destroy the planet unless the player rides Rayquaza into space to stop it.
- Commander Keen episode two (entitled The Earth Explodes!) has the villains of the first episode position a planetary destruction ship in orbit over Earth. If you screw up, you get to activate it. Guess what happens.
- High level Overlords in Disgaea are usually capable of destroying entire worlds in giant Earth-Shattering Kabooms. It's best not to get them mad enough to do this.
- In Master of Orion 2, the player could research, build, and mount a stellar converter on a large enough ship and wipe out entire planets with a nifty movie showing the massive explosion. This typically doesn't eliminate the empire that occupies it, but it does remove the planet from play permanently. Though if the system still has a colony, the resulting asteroid belt can be used to build a new planet. Even better, all planets constructed this way have the same size, which may be larger than the original one. Also, it is possible to avoid the "no terraforming on toxic planets" rule this way, making this a very rare example of using a Class X as a reasonable (if abusive) step in terraforming.
- Also, the newly reconstructed planet can easily be bigger than the original one since all planets built from asteroids are the same size, making this actually a Class 0, unless you happen to lose your last planet in this fashion.
- Master of Orion 3 also has the Stellar Converter, but it was sadly de-powered to Class 6 level, leaving the planet an un-colonizable, lifeless cinder, but otherwise intact.
- Final Fantasy VII. Sephiroth's plan for his planet was to crash Meteor into it, thus forcing the Lifestream to stream out of the impact point in the planet's death throes. Where Sephiroth will absorb the entire Lifestream, become a god, and use the planet's lifeless husk as a giant spaceship to explore other worlds.
- Cyborg Smoke's gloriously OTT (and immediately retconned) fatality from Mortal Kombat 3.
- In the cult DOS game Captain Blood, YOU could nuke a planet into tiny pieces of VGA debris, though sometimes this would make the game Unwinnable.
- Though possibly not a perfect example, World of Warcraft has Outland, which is the result of portals ripping the planet to bits, leaving only a large continent-sized chunk and several hundred minor pieces of debris. Yet the place still supports a few thousand inhabitants despite by logic lacking an atmosphere and dangerously close to a planet that would drag the left over planet chunks into fiery death...
- Of course, Outland isn't floating in space. As the Earth-Shattering Kaboom that transformed Draenor into Outland was a result of dozens of interplanetary portals straining the planet, Outland was tossed into the Twisting Nether, which explains its complete disregard for physics.
- Galaxian 3's bad ending (whether you fail to destroy all of the power relays or die in the middle of your journey) has Cannon Seed using its planet-fueled Wave Motion Gun to blow up the Earth into "fragments smaller than California."
- Take a guess at what the Planet Buster in Spore does? There's a reason if its use is forbidden by the Galactic Federation...
- This happens to Palma in Phantasy Star II, while Motavia suffers a Class 2 shortly after the end of the game.
- The entire story of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne is based around the premise of rebuilding the Earth after it is transformed into the embryonic, demon-infested Vortex World as the result of an event called the Conception. The Earth as you once knew it, and any living thing outside of a small hospital in the middle of Tokyo, is utterly destroyed. This happens in the first ten minutes of the game, by the way.
- In Ratchet & Clank (2002), Chairman Drek tries to do this twice- first with the Planet Buster Maximus to destroy Hoven, and again with the Deplanetizer to destroy Veldin, the latter being used to blow up his new planet (and him).
- The Planet Eaters in Lunar Knights are able to trigger one of these, especially when its governing Immortal decides keeping it around isn't worth it any longer. This can be because the Immortal is bored, because they just hate the people on the world, or because their plot to impose eternity upon the cosmos goes off the rails. Alice is a lagomid survivor or a descendant thereof (Sheridan explicitly says a Planet Eater visited her homeworld), while the titular Lunar Knights cause Polidori to trigger its self-destruct before it can do the same to theirs (and shoot him down before he can attempt a Class 4/5 himself). When he's revived in the optional epilogue, Dumas states that this act of rebellion has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the Immortals, but we haven't seen this play out so far...
- While not directly in the game it is revealed from an Aperture Investment Opportunity video that the Portal Gun is capable of creating a black hole that could destroy the Earth.
- An unusual version happens in Asura's Wrath, where it is a planetary-sized being that gets destroyed this way, Wyzen gets punched to death and explodes after turning into the planet sized Gongen Wyzen.
- This is also narrowly averted in the last episode where Gaia is almost torn apart by a gigantic laser.
- In Might and Magic VI, if you don't get the Ritual of the Void from Archibald Ironfist but go ahead and destroy the Reactor anyway — or if you have the Ritual but teleport out of the Hive rather than leaving by way of the exit — you blow up the world. You were warned, fercryinoutloud.
- There was a reason the aliens were afraid of The Maw. It's too bad their maximum-security specimen (and you) escape when their ship crash-landed. With nothing else in the offing, you and Maw work together to fight for your freedom. However, it becomes clear that Maw has an ever-growing appetite for anything. He climbs up the destruction scale as you progress and, by the end of the game, reaches this level... by eating the entire planet (you escape in a spaceship). Worse, the implication in the closing credits sequence is that Maw is not done yet.
- Your Eater does this in the "Bad" ending of Chimera Beast. It then proceeds into a Class X-2 and maybe even X-3 as it starts destroying more planets in its way. And the cause of all this is... you, the player.
- In Machine Knight, Frain's original mission is to find a way to save his world from the "black sun" that science accidentally created. The opening narration states it's simultaneously eating up the last of the sun's energies and pulling the planet dangerously close, so depending on if the sun eventually goes nova or if there are other planets nearby, it could even be upgraded to a class X-2.
- In Saints Row IV, the Big Bad casually blows up Earth within the first few hours of you starting the game. The rest of the game is the Saints trying to avenge it by killing him and destroying his empire, then one of the endings of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is Johnny wishing for Earth to be Cosmic Retconned back into existence.
- This very concept is the entire idea behind the RTS game Planetary Annihilation, though what would be lower levels of Apocalypse How are certainly possible.
- The Talos Principle: The end of the game causes the simulation to suffer a Metaphysical Annihilation, as the entire world is deleted after you are uploaded to Talos.
Visual Novels
- Fate/stay night: Gilgamesh's original weapon, Ea, can destroy entire planets with one swing.
- Turned on its head with the Planet Eater of Casey and Andy. He's designed to eat the planet Earth but, being about the size of a hamster, can only do it one bite at a time.
- This is what will happen to the world of The Order of the Stick if The Snarl gets released - and it IS what happened to the previous world before the existing one was made. (Probably.)
- In Servants of the Imperium, a moon the characters visited began falling apart as collateral damage from a space battle going on in orbit around it. Specifically, it was hit by a single stray Lance shot. But, this is the Warhammer 40,000 universe, so what do you expect.
- Happened three times in the backstory of Kubera. When humanity cut ties with the sura and swore allegiance to the gods, the sura destroyed planets in retaliation. A thousand years later, more planets were destroyed during the Cataclysm. More recently, Carte, the planet Asha was born on, was destroyed when she was a little girl.
Web Originals
- The fight between Goku and Superman in Death Battle basically ends with the world's destruction.
- Tech Infantry blows up Earth's moon in this way, which does not do good things for Earth.
- In the Whateley Universe there was a sundering, which effectively destroyed the elves, their home, and their civilization. Their souls survived to arrive on Earth in a few instances, and their servants, the weres, were sent to Earth before the end, so this may be a subversion of it.
- In The Demented Cartoon Movie, the world is continually either blowing up or crashing into the sun.
- In Fine Structure, this happens to the Earth as a side note during the Final Battle. Barely any human casualties though, thanks to the intervention of some really advanced alternate universe humans with copious experience in large-scale split-second rescues. They even build a new planet afterward.
- The Chaos Timeline faces this threat at its end. (Cause: Nano Machines.)
- One article at Things Of Interest discusses why and how to destroy the Earth. Destroying humanity is not good enough, and ideally the destruction would be permanent.
- Depending on whose lore you read, Lord Helix and Red were attempting one of these at the end of Twitch Plays Pokémon Crystal. The Godslayers had the task of stopping them from doing so, a task which they succeeded at.
Western Animation
- Titan A.E.: Though a handful of humans evacuate.
- Marvin the Martian tried to accomplish this, but was repeatedly thwarted by a dangerous Earth creature. In Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, Planet X, the planet of the shaving cream atom, is blown to pieces by Duck Dodgers and the Martian one-upping one another.
- What the alien installation did to Mars in Exosquad and what Phaeton plans to do to Earth in revenge.
- In Shadow Raiders, the Beast Planet eats other planets, as demonstrated with planets Water, Tek, Fire, the Prison Planet, and Reptizar. Another planet was blown up by setting a crap load of explosives next to its (nonfunctional) world engines. The Beast ate the remaining chunks. Given that the Beast Planet is not only capable of self-propelled intergalatic flight, but actively seeking out new planets to consume, it could be taken as an example of X-2.
- In an episode of Gargoyles, Fox and her mother are working with some nanomachines which escape and begin a Grey Goo scenario (below), where everything it doesn't turn into more nanomachines is restructured into unchanging order. Since it's meant to grow and evolve it will eventually engulf the entire earth (the heroes only have as much time to stop it as they do because it's reached it's current bounds and will take some time to gain the capacity to come further). They eventually stop it by sending Goliath and Dingo into the Dreaming, where they discover they can communicate with it. Dingo manages to convince it to protect the earth rather than destroying it by suggesting that instead of mathematical order it try law and order, which is similar, but requires less extinction.
- Pinky and the Brain. Episode: 'It's Only a Paper World'. Pinky and the Brain move everyone to a duplicate Earth next door so that Brain can conquer the empty Earth. Then it gets smooshed by meteorite.
- In Futurama, one of Fry's lifelong desires was to blow up a planet. They do it one afternoon.
- After being mined hollow due to containing starship fuel, the planet Vergon VI implodes on itself. Nibbler manages to eat most of the rescued wildlife too.
- Green Lantern John Stewart is accused of causing a chain reaction leading to this in Justice League. It turns out that it was actually a hologram.
- In Dexter's Laboratory, Dexter and Mandark bicker over each other while forgetting about the meteor shower that destroys the Earth. This is ignored the very next episode.
- The planet of Thundera suffered this fate in the beginning of ThunderCats (1985), forcing what was left of the Thunderans to get off the planet and find a new world to call home.
- This occurs in Koko's Earth Control, a short cartoon from 1928. Fitz the Dog pulls a lever that causes the end of the world, and after a series of humorous yet terrifying events, the earth explodes with an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. The apocalypse then extends to the real world, with buildings collapsing and shaking, but this apocalypse remains a Class 6 or lower.
- Unicron threatens Earth with this in Transformers Prime, but not via his usual method. In this case, Unicron instead slumbers at the core of planet Earth, which formed around him, and his awakening would shatter the planet into uninhabitable pieces.
- In the season three finale of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, the Triceraton Empire comes knocking and prepares to destroy Earth with the Heart of Darkness, a device that creates a black hole that will engulf and annihilate the planet. Despite New York's most powerful heroes, mutants, and crimelords assembling to fend off the invasion, a betrayal from Shredder results in the crew failing to stop the Heart of Darkness before it activates, and thus the entire supporting cast is sucked into the ensuing black hole to their deaths, along with the rest of Earth. It takes a Cosmic Retcon six months in the making to go back in time and avert this.
- Steven Universe has the Cluster. It's a gigantic, inseparable Fusion, comprised of billions of Gem shards. It's currently incubating in the Earth's mantle, and if it forms, it'll crack the planet open like an eggshell. Fortunately though, Steven and Peridot managed to stop it. By talking to it and encouraging it to make friends with itself. Yup.
Real Life
- The (in)famous and controversial Grey Goo scenario. Poorly programmed nanomachines go all von Neumann on all matter with which they come in contact, turning it into more poorly programmed nanomachines that do the same thing until every bit of matter within reach has been turned into poorly programmed nanomachines.
- There's also the Strange Matter apocalypse. Same thing, except with unstoppable strange quantum matter - think of the Earth melting like ice cream in the hot sun and evaporating.
- Some scenarios for the origin of the Earth-Moon planetary pairing suggest that a somewhat larger "Earth 1" was hit by Theia, another, Mars-sized planetary body. This impact tore off a huge section of its surface, leaving behind our present "Earth 2". The dislodged debris settled into orbit as a ring, then gradually congealed into the Moon over millions of years.
- Models show that a few billion years from now, Mars is all but confirmed to pass too close for comfort from Earth note , with a small chance of frontal impact.
- Gamma ray bursts.
- Only if it happens really close to the planet, like in the same solar system or a few light years away. A more likely scenario for a gamma ray burst-based apocalypse would be "merely" having the side of the planet facing the blast completely sterilised while the other side burns as the atmosphere catches fire.
- The distance for mass extinction (this one would dwarf anything Earth has seen before) would be about 1,000 parsecs. The distance for "Farewell, atmosphere." would be 500 parsecs. A parsec being about 3.26 light-years. GR Bs emit obscene amounts of energy, ejecting matter from the star at 99.995% the speed of light. Still, there'd still be a planet. Granted, there would never be life on it again...
- Only if it happens really close to the planet, like in the same solar system or a few light years away. A more likely scenario for a gamma ray burst-based apocalypse would be "merely" having the side of the planet facing the blast completely sterilised while the other side burns as the atmosphere catches fire.
- Any kind of interstellar space drive can easily be used as a planet killer. A slower-than-light relativistic starship doubles as a relativistic kinetic kill weapon, releasing awesome energies on collision with a planet, leading to at least a Class 5 and possibly a Class X. The speculative Alcubierre, Cleaver-Obousy, and White warp drives are shown to release monstrous showers of radiation on arrival. If any of these will ever be built, no one's giving such power to some space opera trader, smuggler or another private space dog, of course.
- Older theories for the formation of the asteroid belt put forward the idea that it was all that was left after a planet that occupied that orbit broke up. Of course, as science marched on, it's now seen as more likely that the asteroids are simply remains of the solar accretion disc that didn't get a chance to form a planet in the first place.
- This is likely to be the fate of the Earth in 5-6 billion years when the sun becomes a Red Giant. The outer layers of the sun will swell up to engulf Mercury, Venus, and Earth, thus disintegrating the planet. Though there is some chance that the Earth's orbit will have moved far enough outward by then (due to the sun gradually losing mass) to escape this fate, "just" becoming a burnt-out cinder instead. At the moment, though, equations suggest that earth probably won't make it.
- Two worlds orbiting very close to their stars are currently experimenting that fate, as discovered with help of the Kepler space telescope: EPIC 201637175, also known as K2-22b, and EPIC 201563164, also known as WD 1145+017. The latter is of special interest since we're witnessing what remains of a terrestrial planet being ripped up apart by the final remnant of stars similar to the Sun and this could be the fate that awaits to the Earth, assuming it survived the Sun's red giant phasenote

Shadow Banking Has A Moment In The Sun
Shadow banking, the subject of some high-profile hearings in Washington this week, is not nearly as shadowy as its name suggests. Basically, it's the way big investment banks and other finance companies borrow money.
The system is largely unregulated. And, before the crisis hit, it was huge. Corporations and other big institutions with lots of cash loaned out trillions of dollars.
During the crisis, the shadow banking system led to old-fashioned bank runs on Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns; lots of the institutions who lent to the investment banks asked for their money back all at once. Banks generally can't survive when that happens.
The runs on Bear and Lehman didn't come out of the blue, says Phil Angelides, who chairs the commission that's holding the hearings.
There was "some pretty clear evidence that this was a very fragile system ready to come apart at any moment," he says in an interview on All Things Considered.
For every dollar it had in equity, Bear Stearns borrowed another $40. In all, the bank borrowed about $400 billion. What's more, about $50 billion of that was in loans that the bank had to renew every day, Angelides says.
He compares Bear's situation to a family that has $50,000. The family borrows an additional $2 million, including $300,000 in loans that come due every day. It's easy to imagine the system falling apart.
Bear Stearns's former CEO, James Cayne, will testify tomorrow, along with two former SEC chairmen. Hank Paulson and Tim Geithner, among others, will testify on Thursday.
Gary Gorton, a Yale finance professor I spoke to a while back, said the finance bill being debated in the Senate is unlikely to prevent future runs on the shadow banking system.
Runs on commercial banks happened again and again in this country in the 19th and early 20th centuries; they only ended after the federal government created deposit insurance, after the Depression. But applying that solution to shadow banking wouldn't work, because the sums of money used to insure deposits would have to be too vast, Gorton said.
"The tidal wave of this kind of crisis is so big that any pool of money you have is like a small useless war chest," he said. "It's never going to be enough."

Radio jingle jargon often gets used by radio production companies and it can be confusing to the every day DJ, podcaster and even some radio presenters who are just getting started. Mike attempts to lift the curtain on some common jingle terminology in this podcast.
iOS6 Podcasts App
Am I the only person that's pretty happy with iOS6 maps from Apple? OK, it's a work in progress and some of Scotland is covered in cloud plus the UK town of Uckfield was located in the wrong place but otherwise it's fully functional and I like the integration with Yelp. I've just joined Yelp myself and like the idea of reviewing places under my real name.
My real interest is the Podcasts app in iOS6. Two updates in a week! Podcasts 1.1 and Podcasts 1.1.1.
First, you cannot play podcasts using the native 'Music' app any more! You actually need to download a brand new app to listen to any podcast on you iPhone. What I do like is the graphic interface, the ease of downloading podcasts right to your device and the similarity to Stitcher Smart Radio in that you can stream podcasts.
I'm having a tough time syncing between the Podcasts app and iTunes. Every time I listen to a podcast in the app and sync with iTunes it gets marked as unplayed again. If you can help by providing a solution to this issue please do let me know in the comments to this episode.
A Virtual Assistant for Podcast Production
The interest in hiring virtual assistants to help if you operate a small to medium sized business has boomed over the last 2-3 years. VAs can do everything from artwork to article writing and everything in between such as designing and setting up a website. Did you know that a virtual assistant can also be used for podcast production and editing?
I discovered this by listening to Your First Virtual Assistant Podcast with Jonathan Shank. Jonathan has a passion for VAs and is more than willing to share all he has learned knowledge in his podcast. I really enjoy editing and producing each podcast episode so I'm not sure I'd be fast to let that go from my weekly to do list but Jonathan highlights that VAs can help write up your show notes (like what you're reading right now) this is a task that takes a large amount of my time and I'd be very happy to look into the possibility of outsourcing my show notes with a couple of conditions.
- I would need to read the notes before publishing them to make sure they resonate with my own thoughts and feelings.
- Even though my show notes could, in theory be written by another person I would still like to have creative input.
What do you think about outsourcing podcasting tasks? Have you done it already with any great success?
Audio Editing Google Hangout
I'm in the planning stages of a Google Hangout.
This is for you if you'd like to learn audio editing tips and tricks and get to grips with the basics of making a radio jingle from scratch or even if you're a voice over artist looking to up your game and produce your own demo.
If you're interested then add me to your Google+ circles and let me know you'd be interested in joining a Google Hangount in which I'd teach some of the techniques you can use to create great sounding audio in my favourite audio editing software – Adobe Audition.
Jingle Jargon Translated into English
The main feature of this episode addresses the jingle jargon you often her jingle companies and production houses use when referencing a specific style of audio production. In radio a donut is quite different to a sticky, sugary treat and there's no need to be scared if the disc jockey plays a shotgun out of an ad break. There's an excellent article that covers all the common jingle jargon phrases that I refer to on the podcast on the RadioPresenting.com website.
To summarise a few terms we use on Music Radio Creative:
Ramp – Is the longest version of a sung jingle, usually 30 seconds in length, it contains music that a radio announcer can talk over until 5-10 seconds before the end when the radio station slogan and name will be sung by our jingle singers.
Slogan – This is another cut of the same sung jingle but without the ramp. At around 10 seconds it usually contains a radio station positioning statement (like "The Best Music Mix") followed by the radio station name.
Shotgun – This is the shortest of all the sung jingle cuts and is normally just the radio station name on sung with music backing. Sometimes a shotgun radio jingle is refereed to as a short ID, super shotgun or even hyper shotgun. Whatever you call it this jingle gets the message across fast!
Jack FM Slogans
One of the most creative radio station brands I've recently heard is Jack FM which can be heard in the UK, US, Canada and even as far afield as Russia and Austria. The format is generally free of radio presenters so this leaves more scope (and budget) to write great radio jingle slogans. Here's an example of a Jack FM slogan that I heard on Jack FM South Coast (UK) recently:
"Jack FM… friendship… it's great! You can send your friends to sea."
Audio Marketing on Next Week's Podcast
You've heard of traditional marketing, will no doubt have seen many examples of internet marketing (from pop ups to mailing list opt in forms) and most probably experience social media marketing on a daily basis when you login to get your daily fix on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn et al.
Next week, I'll address audio marketing, specifically how can you get your audio content out to as many ears as possible using the internet. Stay tuned!
Do please leave a comment with your feedback on this week's episode and pop a nice 5 star review on iTunes if you enjoyed reading and listening.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello out there on the Fields of Justice,
My Name is M3talthunder and I'm trying to offer a Poppy playstyle, which I haven't seen so far in any builds or Guides. Since I don't have much to show off I start right away with the main aspects for my Playstyle. Poppy is a incredibly strong Tank and hybrid carry ( which almost exceeds to a melee, tanky DPS, assassin, mage, tank ;) ). Also her pretty strong set of skills (and my build of course...) make her almost unfailable, as long as the game lasts long enough.
You might have seen in other Guides already, that she has her greatest effect in the Late-mid Game and the actual Late game, so my Guide has some very expensive (e.g. Frozen Mallet) and, big surprise, Late game items in it (e.g. Muramana).
Pros and Cons
Since Poppy is one of the rather less frequently played Champs in the league, you want to pick her to surprise your enemy. Not many people now how to counter her and how to react in specific Situations. Also she is very versatile in terms of Damage sources and tankiness.
+ High burst Damage
+ Low Cooldown on her Damage spells, which gives her also a high dpm
+ Super-Tanky without having to many Hp Items
+ Can Annihilate any carry in less than 2 seconds, and still be effective in a teamfight afterwards
+ Strong against Tanks, too
- Hard to play
- Only has Late-game effectivness
- Excessive Farming required
Not much to say 'bout that, it's quite self-explanatory. A good mix of Dmg and defense. The life quints can be substituted by the Flat Ad ones but thats the only thing i would change.
Not much to say either, I guess you need to find your personal favorite (especially about the biscuit, since not everyone is comfortable with that) Just remember she doesnt have much Mana and this point is a MUST to invest in.
Valiant Fighter
"All physical and magic damage dealt to Poppy that exceeds 10% of her current health is reduced by 50%. This does not reduce damage from structures."
Your Passive: It's Uber-strong for trades in the Early Game as well in the Late Game and turn tower dives against you into a double kill for you. This is what makes you tanky without any Tank items. BUT you have to understand it properly. Most people seem to think ALL the Damage that exceds 10% of your current health is reduced by a half, but this isn't true. Only the Damage above 10% of your current HP is reduced by a Half, which is best explained in an example:
What most people think: Poppy 1000Hp->300 Dmg incoming (more than 10% of current health)-> only 150 Damage get through.
Wrong because: If a Gankplank shoots a Parrrley at you, and the damage amounts to 15% of your current Health, only the 5% are reduced by a Half.
So if his Damage is 300 and Poppy has 1000 HP (1000*0.1=100) the damage which is to reduce amounts to 200. Which results in his Parrrley dealing 200 dmg (instead of 150).
Devastating Blow
"Poppy crushes her opponent, dealing attack damage (+0.6*AP) plus 20/40/60/80/100 and 8% of her target's maximum health as magic damage. The bonus damage dealt cannot exceed 75/150/225/300/375."
This is her Main Damage tool. She deals Damage to an opponent on her next Auto attack and resets her autoattack timer as well. The Damage on this spell will be ridiculous, as longer as the game proceeds, since it deals percentage Damage+your Attack Damage+60% of your Ability power, and a little flat amount of Damage. Use it to crush carries, Bruisers, Tanks
and to stack up your tear as well.
Paragon of Demacia
"Passive: Upon receiving damage from or dealing damage with a basic attack, Poppy's armor and damage are increased by 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5 for 5 seconds. This effect can stack 10 times."
Her escape and chasing spell No.1. It's almost impossible to run from her when she has her speed buff on,...and she has it everytime. I recommend not to use it in lane, since it simply drains mana, plus you will get the Armor&AD stacks anyways, since you will be lasthitting like a baws.
Whenever someones running away after a Teamfight it will provide the speed to chase him down and kill him. Noone escapes Poppy the Iron Ambassador.
Heroic Charge
"Poppy charges at an enemy and carries them for a short distance. The initial impact deals 50/75/100/125/150 (+0.4*AP) magic damage. If they collide with terrain, her target takes 75/125/175/225/275 (+0.4*AP) magic damage and will be stunned for 1.5 seconds"
This is your CC and Chasing/escape tool No.2 In combination with your W it is amazing. When you get ganked on your lane while you are behind the Enemy creeps, just dash onto a enemy Minion and hit W to run away safely. So much about the escape aspect. The Chasing aspect is pretty self explanatory.
Diplomatic Immunity
"For 6/7/8 seconds, Poppy is immune to any damage and abilities from enemies other than her target enemy champion.
In addition, Poppy's attacks deal 20/30/40% increased damage to the marked target."
Your Ultimate is really worth the predicate "Ultimate Spell". It will make you invincible to anything except the fountain turret (seriously, keep away from this **********er) and your target. Additionally it will also amplify Damage from any sources you deal to your target; by 40%. not even joking, man.
As soon as you get the chance, ult the enemy ADC, hit Paragon of Demacia and Muramana, Charge on them with your Heroic Charge and cast Devastating Blow on them. If he or she isn't dead by now Ignite and use your Blade of the Ruined King on him. Now turn to the rest and kill them one by one.
If your team didn't follow you, just use the speedbuff your Paragon of Demacia and Blade of the Ruined King gave you and run out safely. (It's pretty fun seeing them use their spells on you until they realize you already ulted their ADC and you can run away untouched in the aftermath ^^) This Tactic can be used even in a 1v5 Situation. So be confident, charge in and run away. You will always get a kill or two, guaranteed.
Farming is higly Important about Poppy, well it is always important, but Poppy really makes you feel the reward for your excessive Farming. Also her Devastating Blow brings you a nice Farming-Tool.
Always buy Wards and Heal/Mana pots when you go back to base, try to avoid little skirmishes and don't give away kills to them. Let them never lure you into a fight or towerdive, if there's someone M.I.A. and you're not completely safe at the moment.
Well The Doran's Shield is perfectly fine on her; it gives her sustain, which she usually doesn't have to much of, and a bit tankiness. I don't feel comfortable with items like Cloth Armor or Null-Magic Mantle, since they are very specific and a gank can hit your weak flank (this was a metaphor). This also applies to the offensive starters like Doran's Ring / Doran's Blade or a Long Sword, since her Damage is quite good for early trades and farming. Better focus on sustain.
Philosopher's Stone is a great Item for anyone; for Poppy it means free gold, less Mana Problems and increased sustain. 'nuff said.
The Tear of the Goddess, and later Muramana is my Core item for this build. Since it will be quite hard for you stacking up the tear (high manacosts at little manapool) you should buy it pretty early. Converting it into Manamune is mandatory but shouldn't be performed too early,this would just lead to your Damage being high, but on the other side going down like a Hooker on friday nights, so you should at least have a Glacial Shroud at this point of the game (which you will need for the Iceborn Gauntlet). I usually get my Manamune around minute 15 to minute 20, I always felt comfortable with this time and never had any trouble for being to squishy or lacking Damage, so if you didn't finish your Manamune by Minute 20 you should put much effort in farming now.(if you buy it before minute 15 this shouldn't be much of a Problem as long as you have your glacial shroud and BOTRK yet)
AND ALWAYS ACTIVATE YOUR MURAMANA!!!! This is the Most important Part about the Build since this will give you your incredible Strength in 1v1 Fights and your High burst on carries in Teamfights
The Mercury's Treads give you early Magic resist, which means you won't invest into any M-res till the very late game. (Most Ap Casters do Burst Damage, and your passive is Anti-Burst anyways)
If the Enemy team has an Ad Mid and an Ad top you can go for Boots of Mobility or Ionian Boots of Lucidity instead and get your Tenacity later by buying Zephyr instead of Wit's End.
The Iceborn Gauntlet is pretty self explanatory i guess:
First, your Q is your Main Damage source and why not improve it.
Second, they give you Mana and Armor, both very important stats to make a melee, tanky DPS, assassin, mage, tank.
Third the slow will help you to keep up with Vaynes Ezreals or Tristanas, who would just jump, blink, dash or whatever the **** out of your range and be k.
Frozen Mallet provides some more tankiness and Damage; the slow is pretty cool too, nothing special about that though.
Wit's End is great to round your build up since it gives you some more Magic-resist and attack-speed, which will keep you healthy in longer fights (you'll have Lifesteal like a baws with Manamune activated)
The Higlighted words are the Stats which are most important on Poppy you can vary my build, as long as you go for those stats. Those items are the best though, I think.
Skill Sequence
Diplomatic Immunity > Devastating Blow > Paragon of Demacia > Heroic Charge
Most People will tell you to max up your Heroic Charge second, but this is only viable for Ap Poppy. I rather recommend getting Paragon of Demacia up first. The speed buff and the armor are great in large Teamfights, which usually emerge at this point of the Game.
Poppy is a good Champion for anyone who wants to gain elo quickly and have fun in every game.
She also brings a good feature with her: the element of surprise. Poppy is no commonly played champ, so most players won't have a clue how to react to her.
Good luck with my Guide, fellow Summoners!
Greetings, M3talthunder
Lane Opponents
(To Create This Section I used the 20 Champions that are mentioned as Counter or Canonfodder on championselect.net. This is, however, not influenced by the ratings those users gave each Champion)
Each Champion will be rated from C to A (following the ERSB rating), depending on how many violent actions are required, to win this lane.
Rated: far beyond A
His true Damage on Reckless Swing will just melt through your passive and harrass you awy from your preciousss: Farm. He will also be able to towerdive you easily since you can't stun him, as soon as he has Ragnarok up.
Last but not least he will just outsustain you with Vicious Strikes
Rated: slightly above A
Again we face our greatest Enemy: True Damage. He will just Harras us out of deny our Farm. His Apprehend is also a great tool to melt down a Poppy, since he will kite us with Crippling Strike into Decimate and run off safely.
Rated: A
Our First counter without any true Damage (yay). He will still hit us hard despite our passive, since he has more Damage over time than Burst Damage. This and his range is what makes him scary for us. His Blind is also pretty nice, assuming the fact he will use it whenever we try to attack him and mitigate our Damage zero-ish.
Rated: Slightly Above A
Again: True Damage. She will Harrass us from Level 1 on and outsustain us with ease. We lose Farm and it's GG.
AD Kennen:
Rated: slightly below A
His constant Harras due to his range and and his stuns will keep you busy, also his high dps will cut our laning to a minimum. Not much fun to play against.
AP Kennen:
Rated: M
Since he has rather burst Damage than dps our passive will minimize his Damage, BUT he uses the energy mechanic, which will give him a high sustain potential and due to his range he will much likely harras us off the lane. Yet this lane is manageable

Hey, this ain't fake!

Turns out Toyota's Tundra commercials are real and not CGI.
Most guy-kids love to play with toy trucks. And I guess when you grow up, playing with real trucks is cool too.
Now I always thought those recent Toyota Tundra commercials where you see the trucks going up a huge cantilever frame that resembles a giant see-saw, hauling trailer boxes out of canyons, and accelerating then breaking at the edge of a cliff were faked with computer graphics images (CGI). Turns out they were "real" stunts with actual trucks and driverstalk about having fun (not to mention and adrenalin rush or heart attack, depending on your makeup)!
The folk at Machine Design magazine got the full story for a recent issue direct from the ad agency and crew that devised and filmed the stunts. The team came up with a giant Tinker-Toy like collection of pendulums, inclined planes, pulleys, and other simple machines to demonstrate different aspects of the truck's performance. The results were TV spots that target truck guysand fascinate engineers.

The Donald trumps Fox News, according to some of Fox's own viewers.
Fox host Greta Van Susteren launched an on-line poll asking her largely conservative viewing audience if they would watch Thursday's Republican presidential debate if Trump is not present. The result: 87 percent of respondents said they will not watch the debate. Participants explained their reasons online.
"Will not watch if Trump is not there. Greta should take Megyn's place," posted one commenter.

"Tired of Fox making all kinds of money off of Trump attending the Republican debate, but using divisive actions," posted another.
Some said they wanted to watch regardless. "Don't care about the moderators … but DO want to hear the remaining candidates discuss and argue sans Trump. I'm sure the FOX Mods will bring him up and I hope those on stage disallow those question."

However, most respondents were solidly behind Trump.
"Donald Trump is resonating with the American people because he's not a POLITICIAN. He doesn't use teleprompters, PC, or anybody's money! He's a self-made American who has publically failed but keeps on becoming a better American success story," posted Linda Quackenbush.

"Trump just turned the whole thing into an undercard debate. I might tune in, but like every other undercard debate, I usually find something better to do half way through," wrote blackberrypopsicles.
Many replied with the kind of fervor common among Trump supporters.
"I am a recovering democrat since the carter years, i am now a registered independent who has voted for the second term of clinton and republicans since, i will vote for TRUMP regardless of what his past is it's time we stopped the political correctness and elect capable people. SO HECK NO I WILL NOT WATCH PERIOD. And i am a political Junkie, [sic]" posted SteveFitzpatrick.
Some used the poll as a chance to post an open letter to Fox.

"It's pretty obvious the people have spoken. You are out of line with choosing a biased moderator to be the host and the attack of biased "guests" is deplorable. Many Americans have considered Fox News in the more recent years to be an unreliable news source, which your own poll and trailing ratings directly reflect. I'm proud to hear that Donald Trump will not be attending your debate and will better invest that time being the change we so desperately need in this country. We're ready to Make America Great again!!!" Azucena Garcia posted.

TALLAHATCHIE COUNTY and YALOBUSHA COUNTY — Severe storms that moved through the state last Thursday night are blamed for widespread damages to several homes in North Mississippi.
Initial damage reports sent the State Emergency Operations Center in Pearl show nearly two-dozen homes in Tallahatchie and Yalobusha counties were either destroyed or sustained major damage.
Damage reports by county are as follows:
• Tallahatchie: 14 homes destroyed, seven with major damage and 24 with minor damage
• Yalobusha: One home destroyed, two with major damage, 11 homes with minor damage
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency staff members are working with the local counties to assess the damages and to ensure that all the needs of their residents are met. Disaster assistance teams from the American Red Cross and other members of Mississippi Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters are helping the counties provide assistance to their citizens in the impacted areas.
"We really appreciate the work that the voluntary organizations are doing in these communities," said MEMA director Robert Latham. "The Mississippi VOADs and other local faith based and non-governmental organizations are key partners in helping these families get back on their feet and on their way to recover."

FANCAST: DAREDEVIL (By Tweeeeenkies3)
It's coming on a year since I last posted a cast on here, so here I am with a new one! Back with a cast for Daredevil, check it out after the jump and let me know what you think.
Filed Under: "
Fan Fic
Matt Murdock/Daredevil: As a child, Matt was brought up by his father and boxer, Battlin' Jack Murdock in Hell's Kitchen of New York. When his father started working for a mobster, Matt started training himself just in case. Eventually, he came across a blind man who was about to get hit by a truck. Matt jumped in front of the truck, pushing the blind man out of the way. The truck was carrying radioactive waste, which spilled out, hitting Matt's eyes. This caused him to go blind, which also caused his senses to heighten as a result. He now serves as a lawyer in New York by day, but by night, he becomes the vigilante known as the Daredevil.
Who I casted: Logan Marshall-Green
Age: 36
Height: 5'11
Prometheus, Dark Blue, Devil
Reason: I wanted a new face around this site for Daredevil. I have grown tired of seeing the same people casted each time, and I felt there were other actors out there for this role. I chose the wonderful actor, Logan Marshall-Green. I wanted an actor who could handle both the dramatic and action aspect. There's a complexity to Matt/Daredevil, and after watching Logan in
, I really think he'd do a great job. There's a likability and edge to Logan that I think is needed for Matt on screen.
Battlin' Jack Murdock: Little is known about his past, but we do know that he was Matt's father, and he pushed Matt to become successful, so he could have a better life than his father did. Despite that fact, Jack was a successful professional boxer, who made a name for himself. Later in life, he was asked to throw a fight, but refused. After this, he was beaten to death by a gang working for Sweeney.
Who I casted: Linden Ashby
Age: 53
Height: 6'0
Mortal Kombat, Teen Wolf, Wyatt Earp
Reason: I wanted an actor who could handle the role of a caring father who must make tough choices for his son. After getting into
Teen Wolf
, we see Linden's character is exactly that. Playing the town's sheriff, he must make hard choices for his son, and we see he cares. I think that is very important for Jack Murdock. Plus, Linden has done many action roles, and he is trained. So he could easily play a seasoned boxer.
Karen Page: Karen Page was a young woman who started working at the law firm Matt and Foggy worked at. She became Matt's lover interest, becoming infatuated by his secret identity as the Daredevil. She ended up leaving to become a Soap Opera star in LA. There, she became addicted to drugs, and eventually became a porn-star. She later cleaned herself up, becoming an activist, trying to right her wrongs. She later sacrifices her life for Matt, causing her to die at the hands of Bullseye.
Who I casted: Maggie Grace
Age: 29
Height: 5'9
Taken, Lost, Lockout, Californication
Reason: I went through multiple actresses for this role, but Maggie really fit for me. I wanted an actress who could portray both kind, loving women, or the complex, messed up characters. She has recently become a very versatile actress, taking on many types of roles. I think she has the ability to pull off Karen's first side of kindness and love for Matt. And her drug addicted side.
Foggy Nelson: Foggy first met Matt in law school, where they become best friends. They eventually started working at their own law firm, where their friendship has face both good and bad times. He has proven he can also be almost as good as Matt as a lawyer. He also ended up figuring out who Matt was outside of the law.
Who I casted: Adam Devine
Age: 29
Height: 5'8
Workaholics, Pitch Perfect, Community
Reason: In my mind, Foggy should be there for both the role of supporting Matt and to add levity. He should be humorous, which Adam is. He is a very funny actor, and I think he has enough talent to pull this type of role off. I have not seen him really do serious work, but with his acting skills, I think he could pull it off well.
Elektra Natchios: Elektra was born into a wealthy family, coming from Greece. Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. At 20-years-old, Elektra and her father, who was a powerful man, were held captive by a group of terrorists, where he was killed in front of her. This would cause her to drop out of college, where Matt also went to. She moved on, going to China, where she was trained by Stick in Martial Arts. Allowing her own impulses to get the best of her, she then joined The Hand. She now works as an assassin in her own right. She has been an on and off lover interest to Matt/Daredevil.
Who I casted: Katie McGrath
Age: 29
Height: 5'6
Merlin, The Tudors, Freakdog
Reason: I wanted a new actress for this role, which was rather difficult to choose for. I went through a couple of actresses, but felt Katie had a certain spice to her. Known for playing Morgana in
, where she is a double crossing, menacing sorceress. She proved she could handle the duality between good and evil, which I perfect for Elektra. She has done some action, but with training, she could be perfect for this role.
Bullseye: A deadly killer for hire capable of using practically anything as a lethal projectile weapon with flawless accuracy and deadly force. He is one of the most psychotic and sadistic characters in Marvel and serves as one of Daredevil's most dangerous foes.
Who I casted: Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Age: 35
Height: 5'10
The Tudors, August Rush, From Paris with Love
Reason: I had a tough time choosing someone for this role, but I eventually felt like Jonathan could do well. He has recently started playing very evil characters, and will portray the main antagonist in
The Mortal Instrument
series. I think with his ability to play a multitude of characters will help when it comes to portraying Bulleye's psychotic nature. I really think he could do well.
Kingpin: The self-proclaimed Kingpin of Crime. He is one of the most prominent figures of organized crime in the whole US east coast. He is a mobster, the king of mobsters, controlling organized crime on the east coast with an iron fist.
Who I casted: Kelsey Grammer
Age: 58
Height: 6'1
Boss, 15 Minutes, Even Money
Reason: I find that people seem to cast Kingpin only off of looks. People seem to only want to cast someone because they are large, but I think appearance is so superficial. I really wanted someone with a voice and attitude who could portray this crime king. Kelsey has proven that he can become quite intimidating, and could bring a new type of performance to the big screen for Kingpin. He can give a really moving performance, and I think he'd be perfect.
Stick: He was the blind sensei who has trained for Matt/Daredevil and Elektra.
Who I casted: Matt Frewer
Age: 55
Orphan Black
Reason: I chose Matt for this role because of his character in the
Orphan Black
. He portrays a character who takes on a leading figure in the minds of many. His ability to play influential beings really lets me know he can handle Stick's figure of authority for some characters.
Ben Urich: A journalist who was once set on finding the identity of the Daredevil. He soon became a friend and supporter of Daredevil, and has helped with giving Matt information that can be given. He now tries to find the true identities of villains around the city.
Who I casted: Tony Goldwyn
Age: 53
Height: 6'2
Scandal, The Mechanic, Divergent
Reason: I did not want to use Bryan Cranston, because he is so overused for every CBM character. Tony is a fantastic actor, who can portray characters who love to discover secrets and help those in need. I felt his role in
really proved he was a great actor. He will also portray the father of my favorite novel character in the upcoming film,
Lady Bullseye: Lady Bullseye is an assassin that works for the Hand. A former sex slave of the Yakuza, she escaped after Daredevil's enemy Bullseye infiltrated and slaughtered the gang. His martial prowess served as the girl's inspiration. I love her....
Who I casted: Grace Huang
Age: 27
Height: 5'7
Bloodtraffic, The Man with the Iron Fists
Reason: I chose Grace Huang because of her role in the fantasy/action short film,
. She was absolutely stunning. She played a vigilante within a war between angels and vampires, who is in search of her sister. She was so badass, and she had such a command in the film. I feel like her strong voice gives her the perfect edge for Lady Bullseye. I think she could really give the character an innocence that could work, given Lady Bullseye's past.
Maya Lopez/Echo: Maya is a Native American woman, who was born deaf. Her father worked for the Kingpin, and was eventually killed by his own boss. As he died, he placed a bloody hand over her face, leaving behind a bloody handprint. As she grew, she realized she could remember anything she sees, and can even copy those exact movements without practice. She now works as Echo, painting a white handprint over her face in honor of her father. She has been a lover of Daredevil before.
Who I casted: Jessica Matten
Age: 27
Height: 5'9
A Red Girl's Reasoning
Reason: Like Grace, Jessica was chosen for this role because of a short film. In
A Red Girl's Reasoning
, she portrays Delia, a vigilante, who is set on revenge after being sexually assaulted for her race (Native American). Her performance was really well done, and it was actually believable. I was impressed by both her emotional level and action skills. After seeing that, I felt she could easily portray Echo, who was also set on vengeance. Plus, you can't go wrong with casting a Native American woman and a Native American character!
Angela Del Toro/White Tiger: Angela del Toro is an ex-FBI Agent who worked on the Daredevil case. She became the White Tiger after the death of her uncle, Hector Ayala, the previous White Tiger, when she inherited his Jade Amulets.
Who I casted: Natalie Martinez
Age: 28
Height: 5'8
Death Race, Under the Dome
Reason: Natalie was chosen because of her work in
Under the Dome
, where she portrays a deputy. She has a knack for playing hard-ass women, and I think a role like White Tiger suits her well. She has the authoritative attitude that fits really well.
Purple Man: A former spy and criminal, who was chemically altered, which caused his appearance to change. He now has purple skin and hair, and works as a villain to control people.
Who I casted: Gideon Emery
Age: 40
Height: 5'11
Teen Wolf, Takers, True Blood
Reason: I was originally going to cast Gideon as Jack Murdock, but decided he was far too creepy for the role. I decided he would be the perfect Purple Man. He has a very menacing, creepy feel when he acts, and it fits the Purple Man really well. His role in
Teen Wolf
really proves her can play this type of villain.
Mary Alice Walker/Typhoid Mary: As a child, she was often abused, leaving her traumatized. During one possible attack, her first of many multiple personalities formed, and she killed the person. Her persona, Typhoid, was murderous and constantly ran a fever. She became the villainess, Typhoid Mary. She now seems to work with Daredevil as an anti-hero of sorts.
Who I casted: Melanie Laurent
Age: 30
Height: 5'2
Inglourious Basterds, Now You See Me
Reason: Melanie is an actress who has proven herself extremely quickly that she can act well. She played the femme fatale, Shosanna Dreyfus/Emmanuelle Mimieux in
Inglourious Basterds
, and has been moving on, becoming an even bigger name. I wanted an actress who could portray a deadly beauty, and I felt her sharp features fit perfectly. I have not seen her play an evil character, but seeing how talented she is, I could easily see her killing this role.
Leland Owlsley/Owl: Leland was a wall-street wizard and got the nickname Owl by his peers. The IRS started snooping and revealed his ties to the underworld. Depressed, he took a serum that gave him the ability of flight.
Who I casted: David Richmond-Peck
Age: 39
Height: 6'0
Orphan Black
Reason: Like Matt Frewer, I chose him because of his role
Orphan Black
. He was creepy as hell, and I thought he would be a good choice. With some makeup, he would also look perfect.
Natasha Romanova/Black Widow: Former KGB agent Natasha Romanova, known as Black Widow, is one of the greatest spies ever and is one of the best agents S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever had. She has been a lover and friend of Daredevil.
Who I cast: Yuliya Snigir
Age: 30
Height: 5'5
The Inhabited Island, A Good Day to Die Hard
Reason: I chose my favorite Russian actress, Yuliya Snigir. She is an amazing actress, who showed her action skills in
The Inhanbited Island
. With her job as a model, she knows how to be seductive, which is needed for Natasha. She did so well in
A Good Day to Die Hard
, and only proved that she would be great.

Chris Collins won't say Cats will be better — but they will be
SALT LAKE CITY — The common read on the Big Ten entering the NCAA Tournament was that it was sputtering to the end of a subpar season. It's funny how one very strong weekend in March can reshape a conference's reputation.
It makes it a bit harder to predict how far up the ladder Northwestern — fresh off its first Big Dance — might be able to climb in the 2017-18 campaign. But this much is obvious: The Wildcats should be even better.
Maybe a lot better.
"Yeah, I think you've got to be real careful," coach Chris Collins said. "Because I tell the guys all the time that — even if you have a lot returning — no two teams are ever the same. We'll be a different team next year. Hopefully better. But I can't say that right now."
That's OK. We can say it for him.
The ever-underrated point guard and team leader Bryant McIntosh will be a senior. Surrounding him will be terrific wings Vic Law and Scottie Lindsey and tough-minded post man Dererk Pardon. That's four starters back, which is only some of the good news.
Aaron Falzon, who started as a freshman and drilled 63 three-pointers, will be good to go after missing most of this season with a knee injury. Rapolas Ivanauskas, the former Barrington standout who missed the season after shoulder surgery, will make his long-awaited debut. Isiah Brown, Gavin Skelly and Barrett Benson all will be back in the fold. And the Collins recruiting train keeps running on time.
"I think next year we'll be a really, really good team," McIntosh said.
Big Dance-good? No school knows better than Northwestern how hard it is to get there. But — easy for us to say — the Wildcats ought to be able to find their way back.
"I feel like this is just a building block, just a beginning," Law said. "I can't wait to see what the future holds."
Parting thoughts
McIntosh called moving on without seniors Sanjay Lumpkin and Nathan Taphorn "heartbreaking."
"But this is a group that will be connected for the rest of our lives because of all the things we accomplished," he said.
Like most good teams, the Wildcats were a very close bunch.
"I think what I'll remember most is just the love that I share with my teammates, man," Law said. "This is such a special moment. I don't think I'll ever forget this for the rest of my life."
Asked what will endure with him about this team, Collins spoke of the manner in which it "tackled" injuries, high-pressure moments and whatever else was in its way. That includes the task of trying to catch No. 1 seed Gonzaga Saturday after falling behind by 22.
"A lot of teams would've rolled over at halftime," he said. "It wasn't going well. We weren't playing well. They were clicking on all cylinders. You're down by 20. And our guys refused to go (out) like that."
For the record
Northwestern never got closer than five points down in the second half of a 79-73 loss to the Zags. Of course, the deficit would've been three had the officials called goaltending when Zach Collins stuck his hand through the rim to block a Pardon shot with just under five minutes to go.
And if the violation hadn't been missed?
"Do I, in my heart, think if Dererk gets that call and we cut it to three, we have a great chance to win? Yes, I believe we had a great chance to win if the correct call was made."
