ENTERTAINMENT:
Star Wars: Galactic Civil War (Cartoon Network - 2015 to 2025: CN followed up their successful Star Wars: The Clone Wars program with the animation of several decades worth of the Expanded Universe novels, starting with the events of Shadow of the Empire. It received critical aclaim for its bringing onboard as many of the original and new trilogy personas to provide character voices as CN could. It and its own sequal series, Star Wars: The New Republic [featuring material up to the Yuuzhan Vong War], received Emmy Awards for its animation alone.)
JLA/Avengers #1-#100 and Teen Titans/X-Men #1-#62 (DC and Marvel Comics cooperative venture - 2003 to 2010)
Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League (Sherwood Productions/20th Century Fox - 1986)
Ghostbusters 3 (Columbia Tristar- 1994; Virtually identical to the 2009 Ghostbusters: The Video Game, but different in ways that suggest the events of the 1986 to 1991 The Real Ghostbusters occured in-universe)
Big Trouble in Big China (20th Century Fox/China Film Corporation - 1990; Jack Burton, who has reluctantly claimed a monster servitor from his San Fran misadventure as a pet/roommate-who-keepes-taking-his-beer, accepts Wang Chi and Miao Yin's offer to join them on a vacation to China's Gansu Province to vist Miao Yin's family. There, the trio finds the elderly couple to be among several hundred people declared missing, the PLA searching for both the people and a stolen cache of weapons, and Egg Shen on the hunt for Chinese vampires. All these mysteries tie in to a secret cult of Hui black magic practitioners who plan to seize control of the Middle Kingdom... by resurrecting Lo Pan! Notable for the highly succesful cooperation between the PRC's CFC and the USA's TCF.)
TECHNOLOGY:
Reardenium - As of 2015, it is reproduced by several Fen and Dane groups/corporations. To the amusement of readers of the catalog, it was discovered that Rearden Metal and the alloy developed by Andrew Ryan for building Rapture, Ryanium, are one and the same.
MEDICINE:
Phalanx - A highly-effective rabies treatment drug. The only possible side effects are excessive gas and ocassionally diarrhea.
