Summary: This movie was directed by Emile Ardolino, written Eleanor Bergstein, and by produced by Linda Gottlieb. During the summer of 1963, a well to-do Jewish family by the name of Houseman's heading to a resort up in the Catskills called Kellerman's. There were four members of this family Dr Jake Houseman, his wife Marjorie, the older daughter named Lisa, and the 17-year old daughter named Frances or Baby. While there Baby noticed the different treatment the staff got based on their background with the Ivy League students being advised to mingle with the guests while the entertainment was demeaned. An entertainer named Johnny caught Baby's eye. She was briefly introduced to him when she helped his cousin carry a watermelon to a staff party. Later, Baby learned that Johnny's dance partner was in a tough position and stepped up to help her. This led to Baby helping Johnny and Johnny helping her.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092890/

I went with the character named Sidney Schumacher as the last name Schumacher had been used once for every 10000 people. This means that more than likely people with that name were related. Using this information, I'm making the assumption that Dr. Schumacher from Kitty Goes to War was related to the belated Sidney Schumacher. Not much was known about Dr. Schumacher except that she may have worked for the military.
1. Kitty Goes to War
Summary: This book was written by Carrie Vaughn and published by TOR Books. It related the story of Kitty Norville, a werewolf and radio host, who worked with the NIH's Center for Paranatural Biology in order to help 3 military werewolf who were suffering from PTSD and cannot transform. As if that wasn't enough, Kitty was being sued for libel by the CEO of Speedy Mart - Harold Franklin.http://www.librarything.com/work/9508819

Connections: One of my running theories for superheroes of the modern age were that they get their powers from ancestors in the past- unknowingly. For example, a mutant who had ice powers would be descended from a spirit of nature that had to do with ice. Because of this theory I think the ghost witch Amelia Parker may be related to our friendly neighborhood SpiderMan aka Peter Parker. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Peter_Parker_(Earth-616)
Now, I don't think that Peter was ever a witch or wizard, just that he had a genetic predisposition for being different (mutant gene) and it was triggered by a spider bite. One of the stories that we find Peter Parker in a game called Spider-Man/X Men Arcade's Revenge
2. Spider-Man/X Men in Arcade's Revenge
Summary: This game was developed by Software Creations and published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was designed as an action game and a platformer. After disarming several bombs around the city, Spider-Man learned that Storm, Wolverine, Gambit, and Cyclops were kidnapped by a villain called Arcade. Spider-Man began tracking down his friends while the X-Men actively freed themselves. They meet up in a large room where they work together to bring down the villain (how its supposed to be). In reality, Spider-Man was used to defeat the villain while the X-Men stand to the side helping on occasion.Connections: As mentioned above, one of the characters in the game was Wolverine or James "Logan" Howlett. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Wolverine
He was a mutant with the ability to heal himself quickly. This meant that he had been around for a while, but that past was shrouded in darkness. The farthest back he could remember was escaping from Weapon X (which was where he was embedded with adamantium). After leaving Weapon X, he had many adventures including taking part in a Death Battle against Raiden.
3. Death Battle Wolverine vs Raiden
Summary: Death Battle originated on the website ScrewAttack which was created by Craig Skistimas and Thomas Hanley. Later, Death Battle and the ScrewAttack website became property of Rooster Teeth and Let's Play. The hosts of Death Battle were Ben B. Singer and Chad James. For each Death Battle- the hosts chose two fictional characters and had them fight to the death. In this episode they chose X-Men's Wolverine and Metal Gear Solid's Raiden. It seemed to me that the two were chosen to fight against each other because of similar backgrounds. Both men lost one father and gained another. And both men were abducted by secret organizations and experimented on from which Wolverine received an adamantium exoskeleton and Raiden was turned into a cyborg.https://deathbattle.fandom.com/wiki/DEATH_BATTLE!_Wiki
https://deathbattle.fandom.com/wiki/Wolverine_VS_Raiden
Connections: Because Raiden was the only other character portrayed in this episode of Death Battle, he now becomes the next connection in my chain. What do we know about Raiden... Well his real name maybe Jack and he was adopted by Solidus Snake. He was trained to fight under Snake, joined a unit called the Small Boy Unit, and became a killing machine. Later, Jack came to be with the Patriots who turned him into a cyborg. Being a contender on Death Battle was only a side story for him. He could also be found in Metal Gear Solid 4.4. Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots
Summary: This game was written by Hideo Kojima, developed by Kojima Productions, and published by Konami. It's chaos in this world. Private militaries were used to enforce the peace and handle any terrorist. Five of the largest private militaries were owned by Liquid Ocelot. These private militaries were embedded with nanomachines that not only enhanced their abilities but connected them to the Sons of Patriots network. Liquid Ocelot was aiming to take that system over and Solid Snake was sent to kill him.https://metalgear.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_4:_Guns_of_the_Patriots

Connections: At the beginning of the game, there were 4 different television channels that can be accessed: 15,16, 23, and 42. These channels play specific programs like a cooking show and an interview with David Hayder.

There was something more to those four numbers than just numbers of a TV channel. Those 4 numbers were a fraction of the numbers from Lost. (Excuse me for changing tenses here)
The numbers existing in MGS and in Lost indicate that they were alternate realities of each other. If so and the numbers were broadcasting then whom was the candidate for the island. Probably Solidus. It wouldn't matter if Snake only had a year to live as the island can change the reality within its boundaries. While the numbers aren't seen in the episode Lost LAX 1 & 2. but it was hinted at when Sawyer speaks to Hurley about his lotto ticket.
Summary: This series was created by Jeffrey Lieber, JJ Abrams, and Damon Lindelof. It was produced by Bad Robot, Touchstone and ABC Studios. During this episode, a lot of things happened. First, the Man in Black was confronted by some of the islanders inside the statue, but disappeared. Then, the Monster appeared and killed a few of the islanders. After the battle, the Man in Black reappeared confirming that he was really the Monster. When questioned about what he was- he basically told them islanders that they wouldn't understand and that he just wanted to go home. He left the statue with the islander and spoke to Richard as he wanted, saying he was glad that Richard wasn't in chains any more. Meanwhile Kate and some of the others (Jack, Sawyer, Miles) returned from 1977 to 2007. Quite a few of them were injured, especially Sayid. Hurley stated that they could save him if they take him to Jacob at the Temple. They took him to the Temple and submerged him into the water, but he died, at first, and then woke up. Somehow they flash sideways, showing how Oceanic 815 would've gone if it didn't crash.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_(TV_series)

Connections: One fictional product existed in Lost universe that also existed in other universes. This product was Morley cigarettes. In this episode of Lost, an advertise for Morley cigarettes when Rose flipped over the magazine she had been reading- it displayed an ad for Morley's with the phrase 'the truth is out there.' In the Criminal Minds episode North Mammon, DNA was found on a Morley cigarette butt.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morley_(cigarette)

In a TV series call The Following episode "The Poet's Fire" we find that the second youngest profiler was a man named Mike Weston. Unlike Spencer, he didn't seem to be a genius though he was described as being tech savvy and it was stated he studied political science.
