Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
Terry Pratchett Intro Way back when I was doing my undergrad degree, I was lucky enough that most of it made sense, usually straight away. A lot of math is just learning what the weird notation means. It’s like learning a new language – you need a bunch of vocabulary.
Not everything was easy though, and one result that sent me into a spin was Green’s Theorem.

Alliteration Alliteration is when you use the same initial letter or sound beginning words close together in a sentence or name. For instance:
A miss is as good as a mile, Peter Parker picked a peck of pickled peppers1, Coca-Cola, or Marilyn Monroe. It’s “well known” that the names of comic-book heroes are often alliterative. The Big Bang Theory made a thing about it in one episode (S3E16).

This is not a conventional fight Comics fans love crossovers. And a key part of most crossovers is providing an answer to the “who would win?” question. So who would win out of Captain America and James Bond?
They are both meant to be icons of their respective cultures; the US v the UK; brash individualism v sophisticated charm; red, white and blue v black tie. Both are physically at the pinnacle or beyond human ability, but neither has an actual “super” power as such, unless you count Cap’s ability to throw a shield in a trajectory that defies physics or Bond’s casual misogyny as superpowers.
