In the Tintin comics "The Castafiore Emerald", Bianca
Castafiore gifts Captain Haddock a parakeet. Though the
parakeet is named after a famous Shakespearean character

secondary antagonist.

entity became the embodiment of the “X Multiverse" while the other
became the “Y Multiverse". Fragments of their essence blew in all

26. This famous character X is modeled on
inventor Auguste Piccard. (shown in pic)
The creator of the comic stated in an
interview “He is a reduced scale Piccard, as
the real chap was very tall. He had an

that was much too large... I made X a mini-
Piccard, otherwise I would have had to
enlarge the frames of the cartoon strip."

He was working on a stationary flight simulator when the device suddenly took off
with him in it. Hal discovered that the flight simulator was being drawn to a
crashed alien spacecraft, and the crashed yards away from it. He was badly
injured by shards of metal stuck in his chest.
Curious to the end, he made his way to the alien spacecraft, where he came upon
the dying alien Rhomann Sur.
The alien died before he could speak with Hal, and Hal realized he was dying as
well. With his last efforts, he designed a suit of armor out of the alien
technology, powered by a battery he found in the wreckage, one which
reminded him of a lamp.
The suit of armor not only allowed him to survive, but gave him incredible
powers, allowing him to create any object he pleased out of a colored energy,
due to the battery he used being powered by Oa the Living Planet.
How is Harold ____ better known as?
32. The X is a device developed to allow beings to experience life as other species in order to bring
understanding and foster peace in the universe.
X takes many forms in various timelines and universes.
In the first form that Y found, the X looked like a common object that everyone wears ,primarily black
and gray in color, with a gray (or black) dial in the middle and had an hourglass shape on it. Actually
the hourglass shape represents the intergalactic "peace" symbol. X attached itself to Y due to Y’s
striking DNA features. However, many beings have seen the X’s abilities as something that could be
used as a powerful weapon.
The X has the following modes of operation:
Active Mode
The default mode for the X which means it can be used and that it has recharged. Actual usage time is
unknown (between ten and twenty minutes, most commonly ten), and can time out at inopportune
moments, it seems to time out faster the more it's taxed by activities such as fighting.
Time Out Mode
When the X times out, it beeps and flashes, converting the user back to normal. It takes around 10
minutes to recharge, though it may take more time if tampered with. The main purpose of timing
out is said to be to keep the original personality of certain characters from overwhelming the user.
The X does not time out for recharging but to mainly protect the user.
Capture Mode
X has the ability to capture new species in its course of usage and stores their life features and
characteristics in its database.
Self-Destruct Mode
When in S.D.M. (Self-Destruct Mode), the X counts down until it explodes. When in S.D.M. for a few
days, the X charges up enough energy to cause an energy ripple that will destroy the entire
universe.

44. The Belgian newspaper Le Soir reported in September 2013 that
4 suspects were arrested in the three-year-old case of body
parts having close connection to a comic series X.
The Belgian Federal Police arrested four men on a Friday evening
— three for murder, and one for "failing to provide assistance to
a person in danger" after he allegedly admitted to being at the
scene of the crime.
At around 6:00 p.m. on September 28, 2007, two hikers found a
human torso and two thighs in Duden Park in the city of Saint-
Gilles. Police later determined the shaven parts came from a
Caucasian male individual who was killed several days earlier
and deposited in the park around noon on the day the parts
were found.
No identification or personal effects were found on the body
parts, but two pieces of paper were found nearby with the same
message in capital letters as shown in the pic.
This is an apparent misspelling of the original phrase which
translates in English to a famous dialogue from the extemely
popular series X.
The convicts were arrested and sentenced to 21 years of prison
for a cruel act of murder.
They confessed that they were fans of the comic series and
hence left the pieces of paper next to the body.

X is an Indian comic character created for the Y magazine in 1983. X, with his
trademark Topi (hat) pulled down over his eyes, is one of the flagship
characters of Y. By 1983, Y was already on its way becoming the most
popular children’s magazine. Their biggest rival that time was another
children magazine named Target, run by Living Media. Unlike Y, Target was
more of a narrative magazine, with a few pages of comics. Their flagship
character that time was Moochhwala ("the man with a moustache“).
Moochhwala was a detective with penetrating eyes and a huge
moustache. Y decided to create a competing character and hence two
creators came up with the proposal for such a character X. They decided
to base this new character on a boastful but cowardly character in the
then famous television drama, I Love Lucy.
X was created taking into account the non-violence policy that Y adopts and
made sure it did not have any negative impact on children reading the
comics.
