Fictional Concepts Explained- Explanation of the column
A new column at WtW News (still deciding on a name) will be me explaining a fictional concept as it works in the universe it's from.
Examples
How does superspeed work in the DC Universe?
How a Stargate works
How DOES The Shadow know?
How the hell does Deadpool's personal continuity work anyways?
Things explained will be explained by me, to the best of my ability, using comics, tv, animation, etc, as reference material.
If there is some science fiction, anime, cartoon, comic, movie, or other fictional concept, ability, or capacity you don't understand, feel free to suggest a topic in this thread.

I got one for ya.
In the original Transformers series, there was a supercomputer that granted life to a TFs called Vector Sigma. Later in that same series, a being called Primacron was revealed to have been the creator of the giant god-like being Unicron. Primacron's assistant was killed when Unicron was created and his essence escaped in an object bearing a striking resemblance to the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Much later in the series Beast Machines, the object known as the Oracle, which acted a lot like Vector Sigma but more advanced, was introduced. And of course, there was the character of Primus, the "god" of all the TFs. As many know, the Matrix contains Primus' essence, as well as the Wisdom of the Ages. Even though he was never mentioned, let's pretend he existed all along throughout G1.
What I'm getting to is this. In the Japanese version, a retcon was made to make Primacron's assistant = Primus = Vector Sigma = the Oracle. :o HEADACHE!!!
Explain the relationship between these four characters.

Well, okay, I kinda know the first 2, but that isn't the point, the point is that it sounds like something interesting.

This will be fun. People actually do these kinds of pop science things in places like colleges.

Not all superspeed in the DC is regulated by the speed force, which is why I said superspeed instead of speed force
