Watch of Many Gadgets

Wondrous item, rare, scientific

This multifunctional watch gives you a +1 bonus to your Charisma (up to a maximum of 20) and advantage on checks with hacker’s tools. The watch appears superficially ordinary; a DC 17 Perception or Investigation check is required to determine its true nature.

The watch automatically detects and displays the local time of any planet it is on, as well as the name of the planet and local jurisdiction (kingdom, city, etc.). You can use the watch as a timer or stopwatch. The watch is a communicator.

The watch has 4 charges, which it regains at dawn. You can expend 1 charge as an action to do one of the following:

Record up to 10 minutes of audio or video (1 hour can be stored in total).

Replay audio or project a hologram from an earlier recording.

Transmit an audio or video file over radio or a network.

Configure the compass, giving you advantage on ability checks against becoming lost.

Deploy a nanobot.

Scan a Tiny object or the air near the watch for the presence of radiation or poison.

Extend a miniature blade capable of cutting through rope after 1d4 rounds.

Fire a miniature rocket at a target within 30 feet. The rocket automatically hits and deals 1d4 piercing damage.

Emit a small electric shock, dealing 1d4 lightning damage to a creature within 6 inches of the watch.

Prompt 279

Now Danny didn’t mean to make a Bootube channel. He’d meant to send that sleep deprived ramble to Tucker, but he had clicked on the wrong app and yeah. Apparently people enjoy his space rambles- or it could have been the ghost blob-cats that had decided to flop onto him. (Honestly he wasn’t surprised they would start to mimic the shapes of things in their surroundings)

Tucker? Found it hilarious, as did Sam and Val and… um, okay this has become their shared channel now, nice. Though there are some strange comments on some of the videos. Really, what do they mean green sky and crazy tech???

After Danny has managed to smooth things over with his rogues, helping them cope with their obsessions in ways that don't cause massive property damage for the living, he ends up getting some lessons from a few of them on different topics.

Technus ends up teaching Danny how to properly overshadow and upgrade electronics.

So when, for one reason or another, Danny ends up in the DC universe, he decides to have some fun when he learns about this world's thing with superheroes.

The next time Superman is dealing with a robbery, a car suddenly appears with a black and white color scheme, and starts to heckle the robbers before stopping their car with some kind of tow line.

Wonder Woman ends up encountering a talking fan that somehow manages to produce gusts of wind strong enough to take most people off their feet.

The Joker hijacks a news broadcast to announce his next plan, only for the camera system to come to life and record the mad clown getting the tied up by wires and beaten up by boom mikes.

The Flash gets some help from a living heater that can shoot flames.

Captain Marvel ends up befriending a talking vending machine that throws concussive soda cans at villains. And can also dispense normal drinks.

Someone ends up meeting a talking phone that just so happens to have a recording of the big bad's evil monologue.

Strange machines suddenly come to life all around the world, often helping various heroes. It's gotten to the point several Justice League Members are betting on who gets a mechanical partner next, and what form they're going to be in. The only thing about this mysterious hero that the Justice League knows is that he goes by the name Rotom.

(Whether or not the DC universe has Pokemon in order for them to get the reference is up to you)

If we made the most straightforward estimate using today's best technology, we'd state there are 170 billion galaxies in our Universe. But we know more than that, and our modern estimate is even grander: two trillion galaxies.

MARVEL Headcannon #6:

Everyone knows how Steve (and probably Bucky, let's be real) are technologically inept, right? Well, you know who else would also be technologically inept? Thor and Loki, but not for the reasons you think.

See Steve (and Bucky, but maybe he has some tech training as the WS, I can't see HYDRA not teaching him how to hack, so really just trivial things such as using social media might confuse him) has the problem of literally jumping forward in time. Thor and Loki would have the exact opposite problem.

Asgard is like this super advanced place that has literal magic and stuff. It's more than safe to assume that despite keeping older aesthetic, they are a highly advanced civilization that is a perfect blend of traditional and innovative technology. The technology of the 21st century here on earth would probably be something that predates them on Asgard, like how telegrams predate everyone currently alive.

So, while Steve is coming forward in time, Thor and Loki are going back in time technology-wise. And that's why they struggle. It would be like if teens today tried to figure out how to use a telegram (or a phone booth/rotary phone) when they are so used to touchscreen.

Loki is a very adaptable person and is the literal God of Fake-It-Till-You-Make-It, and Bucky has been trained (conditioned) to observe and learn (hence the staring problem) so those two are better at hiding their confusion with technology, but Steve and Thor? Yeah, those two visibly struggle.

The four of them have a "support group" of sorts, where they're just trying to figure tech out. Honorable group members include Carol Danvers and Peter Quill, who are alien tech whizzes, and yet are still stuck using 80's tech Earth-wise.

Btw I imagine, to everyone in Peter Parker’s civilian life, his Spidey-Sense manifests as an almost comical series of Mr. Magoo-type situations.

Like, for him, he absentmindedly steps around a puddle and, when Flash follows to punch him, he ducks to avoid the hit, grabs his stuff from his locker, and heads on his way, but for everyone else, they see Flash eat shit on a puddle trying to hit him and see Peter duck down to grab some stuff from the bottom of his locker just in the nick of time to avoid a flailing hand from Flash. Of course, Peter doing this with his back turned to Flash the whole time, makes it look like just a coincidence rather than any sort of agility or training.

Bonus: There’s actually some weird danger that Peter avoids every time, but fails to notice because he inadvertently gets out of the way due to other situations, avoiding the danger and causing his Spidey-Sense to not even go off in the first place, thus creating a genuine Mr. Magoo-style situation. (i.e. Peter is working on the set for the School Play with MJ. A prop falls over and he catches it, preventing it from hitting MJ. Because he leaped up to catch the prop, he completely misses getting nailed with a falling sandbag)

Double Bonus: it happens so often that people start calling it “Parker Luck”

Wormhole Machine

Wondrous item, legendary, intergalactic

When activated, this black glass sphere levitates four feet above the ground. You can use an action to touch the sphere and name a location on the same plane of existence. The sphere computes the exact properties of spacetime in the two locations and begins rapidly spinning. After 10 minutes, the sphere generates a wormhole per the spell wormhole in the nearest available stretch of open space.

The sphere has 3 charges. 1 charge is expended when a wormhole is created to a location within the same galaxy, and 2 charges are expended for a location in a different galaxy. The sphere regains 1d3 − 1 expended charges daily at midnight.

Prompt 166

So Danny is going to blame this on Vlad. Everything was going great, his parents had accepted him, Ellie is home for a while as was Jazz, Vlad was going to ghost-therapy along with Jordan to both get over apparently very bad obsession-sickness, and it was finally summer break! Which meant camping, and no ghost stuff for the first time in forever. 

He should have known everything was going too well, because that’s just the Fenton luck isn’t it? So he was going to blame this entire thing on Vlad, even if it might maybe be his own fault just a little bit. But how was he supposed to know the glowing rock formation that looked sort of like a portal was actually going to do something?! 

Urgh, he’s not going to deal with dimension travel, he already has to deal with time bullshit thanks to his peepaw! At least they’re all in this together and haven’t gotten separated? Ugh. This is going to be annoying.

i think it’s very important to point out that while all of maya’s family and friends learned ASL because of her, fisk never even bothered despite telling her she loves him. but like. i also think it’s hilarious how he went full elon musk and had a whole new technology developed instead of just. you know. learning ASL.
