Doctor Who: The Lifespan Of Each Doctor

This graph may not tell you how many years each of the Doctors has been traipsing through time and space, but it will tell you exactly how long every single Doctor was on the air for.

Obviously Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor wins this competition. William Hartnell’s original Doctor comes in at second place. It’s a handy and fun chart if you want to know exactly how long each Doctor was on the air. And of course you do, because we can’t get enough of Doctor Who.

Map Of Marvel Characters’ Hometowns

This is a fun map created by Movoto, which shows all of the hometowns of major Marvel superheroes and villains. It is a nice bit of marketing, but still, this is some useful information for geeks like us. It should settle a lot of arguments.

It’s nice to know where all of these characters come from. They might even come from your hometown. If so, hopefully you’ll run into them and get an autograph. Yeah, that is NOT likely, since they aren’t real, but it’s fun to dream huh? Spider-Man is real though. I totally believe in him.

Dual Identity: When One Superhero Is Not Enough For An Actor

This fun infographic shows the dual Superhero identities of actors and which heroes they have played. Do we like to see the same actors over and over again? Are the actors really that good? Are we lazy about casting? Well, I don’t have all of the answers, but I can provide you with this handy infographic from Philippines based artist Carl Corilla.

It lets us know which actors are Superhero greedy. Or maybe they are just awesome actors that rock at playing awesome Superheros. You’ll have to decide for yourself. We have Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Halle Berry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ben Affleck.

Game Of Thrones Wine Map

VinePair has put together this fun infographic reviewing and showing the locations of the “Wines of Westeros” from the HBO series Game of Thrones. It is pretty handy if you find yourself in Westeros with a mighty thirst. Fighting for the Iron Throne will certainly make you thirsty. A tall glass of Arbor Gold sounds pretty good. As do the Dornish Red Wines.

Sadly, the Starks don’t grow any wine thanks to the climate in the North, but I’m sure they enjoy and import it from many other lands and houses.

Indiana Jones and the Whip of Doom

We will probably never see another Indiana Jones film with Harrison Ford, but at least we have this cool infographic titled Indiana Jones and the Whip of Doom. It gives you a nice visual aid to help keep track of how all of the people died in the original trilogy.

Which movie had the highest body count? Raiders of the Lost Ark holds that honor, while Temple Of Doom had the fewest. At the bottom of this chart, it lists the reasons why Indiana Jones is just awesome. We can’t argue with any of the points made here. Indy is the best.
