Science fiction
Science fiction (often shortened to SF or sci-fi) is a genre of speculative fiction, typically dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. Science fiction often explores the potential consequences of scientific and other innovations, and has been called a "literature of ideas". It usually avoids the supernatural, unlike the related genre of fantasy. Historically, science-fiction stories have had a grounding in actual science, but now this is only expected of hard science fiction.

U.S. television science fiction

Other hugely influential programs have included the 1960s anthology series "The Twilight Zone," the internationally successful "The X-Files," and a wide variety of television movies and continuing series for more than half a century. The first popular science-fiction program on American television was the children's adventure serial "Captain Video and His Video Rangers", which ran from June 1949 to April 1955.
Doctor Who in Canada and the United States
"Doctor Who" in Canada and the United States refers to the broadcast history of the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who" in those countries. "Doctor Who" had an early Canadian connection. The series was conceived by Canadian expatriate Sydney Newman while he was the BBC's Head of Drama. The series may have been inspired by a short-lived segment (canceled because parents complained that it was "too frightening" for their children) on the Canadian version of "Howdy Doody". The segment featured a character surprisingly similar to the Doctor, a puppet called Mr. X who traveled through time and space in his "Whatsis Box" teaching children about history.

The franchise is based on the idea of an alien Einstein–Rosen bridge device (the Stargate) that enables nearly instantaneous travel across the cosmos. The franchise began with the film "Stargate", released on October 28, 1994, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Carolco, which grossed US$197 million worldwide.

Stargate literature
Stargate literature comprises the novels and short stories in the "Stargate" franchise fictional universe (based on either the original "Stargate" film or the "Stargate SG-1", "Stargate Atlantis" and "Stargate Universe" television shows) as well as non-fiction devoted to the franchise. "Stargate" literary works follow no strict continuity with the series or each other, and are often considered to be non-canon. This is evident in the fact that there is a period of roughly a year between the original idea for a novel and the finalised product, causing problems for authors as they are unaware as to how the franchise will develop and change during the writing process.

The first franchise release, "Stargate" (1994) spawned four television series successors, four movies (two in production), a plethora of merchandise, and a massive franchise collectively known as the "Stargate" (owned by Metro–Goldwyn–Mayer and aired by Syfy, which now owns television properties they previously held with Carolco Pictures). Thanks to "Stargate" fandom, the franchise has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, comic books and audiobooks.
Stargate Atlantis
Stargate Atlantis (often abbreviated SGA) is a Canadian-American adventure and military science fiction television series and part of MGM's "Stargate" franchise.

Some of the most significant species in "Stargate SG-1" are the Goa'uld, the Asgard, and the Replicators. "Stargate Atlantis", set in the Pegasus galaxy, introduced the Wraith and the Asurans.

Superhero fiction
Superhero fiction is a type of speculative fiction examining the adventures, personalities and ethics of costumed crime fighters known as superheroes, who often possess superhuman powers and battle similarly powered criminals known as supervillains. The genre mainly originated in and is most common to American comic books, though it has expanded into through adaptations and original works. A superhero is most often the protagonist of superhero fiction, although some titles, such as "Marvels" by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross, use superheroes as secondary characters. A superhero (sometimes rendered super-hero or super hero) is a type of stock character possessing "extraordinary or superhuman powers" and dedicated to protecting the public.
