Star Trek: The Next Generation - Data


Expert: Deran McKean - 6/25/2009

Question
If Wolverine has a stronger skeleton than Data, then why do you believe that Data can lift and pull more weight? Is it because Wolverine's muscles are flesh, whereas Data's are metal?

Which do you know the most about?
A) Star Trek
B) DC
C) Marvel

Would a mind-meld work on Roga Danar? What about Admiral Quinn or a power-stripped Q?

Answer
Hi John -

No matter how powerful Wolverine's muscles are (and they are powerful given the combination of his healing factor and the fact that they are conditioned to lift adamantium all day long), they would still be subject to the build up of fatigue poisons and the natural inefficiencies of human (or mutant) operation.  Data's muscles aren't subject to either of those considerations.

I seem to go through cycles where I'm obsessed with Star Trek, then comics, then Marvel, then DC.

Hmmmmm, let me see, I've been a Star Trek fan since around 1975 (when all that existed was the Original Series) and started collecting comic books somewhere around 1977 or so.  

I guess I think about Trek, Marvel and DC as much as I can, leaving little room for much else!

I think a mind meld would work on Danar, particularly if the individual performing it were very skilled like Sarek.

I don't see why it wouldn't work on Q, but the flood of information might cause the Vulcan to break contact.  On Admiral Quinn I think it would work but that the Bluegill alien would fight against it pretty strongly.

Thanks!
