Agent Scully: Difference between revisions

Line 35:
** Some of the later depictions, however, have him as a complete idiot - who, for instance, remains convinced that he's not on a ghost pirate ship fighting gorilla nazis because that yeti he saw earlier was a vampire, not a yeti, and if yetis don't exist then this must all be a vivid dream.
** For more irony points, his own daughter is also a mage—a trait she inherited from her mother. His own life has been full of magic for years.
** In his defense, Dr. Thirteen is effectively a walking anti-magic zone -- his disbelief is so strong (and possibly backed up by latent mage-talent) that he actually ''cancels out'' magic in his vicinity, unconsciously. The man can literally be surrounded by magic and see none of it; not because he's delusional, but because for him, magic literally does not exist.
** Also, he exists in a super-hero universe, where there are perfectly valid non-magical explanations for even the most fantastical things. Its magic he doesn't believe in the existence of, not superhumans.
* Ted Knight, original 1940s Starman, firmly disbelieves in the supernatural or religious despite having served on the same team as both Dr. Fate and The Spectre. When this is pointed out to him by other characters, he relates their powers to unknown scientific energies.
