Talking aloud: Could be from a Superhero or Monster movie - they both count as Science Fiction sometimes. As I understand it, the DQ limit hasn’t been reached until the DQ count reaches 20. We can still ask regular IQs. ---

I am Peter Jason [SIZE=“7”]Quill[/SIZE], aka Starlord! From what I recall, “Protecting Earth from the scum of the universe” is the tagline for Men in Black, but I don’t know of any Q names from the MIB movies. \*\*fangaga \*\*may be referring to a line from the movie, which I think would be when the GotG face Ronin in the final fight scene. I don’t remember if Starlord said that particular line, if he did. If that’s what **fangaga** ’s referring to, and that line is actually from the movie, I’ll take his word for it. If not, **Professor Pepperwinkle** gets the win. Whatever the case may be, the new letter is R.
