QUESTION - IV A long standing rumour about William Moulton

Marston is that he was the inventor of the polygraph test, which (purportedly) detects whether people are lying.

Marston WAS, however, an early innovator in the field of lie detection, and his contributions to the polygraph test should not be overlooked.

In 1921, Marston published his doctoral thesis for Harvard University. The title was “Systolic blood pressure symptoms of deception and constituent mental states.” That was Marston's innovation – the idea that, by testing a subject’s systolic blood pressure, one would be able to determine whether the subject was lying, was the basis of the polygraph machine.

William Moulton Marston is however, remembered for creating the comic book character X.

ANSWER :

X : Wonder Woman

QUESTION – V

X is a sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley, published in 1818 in London. It is probably Shelley’s most famous short poem.

The poem is supposedly inspired by a colossal statue of Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, so much so that its paraphrases the inscription on the base of the statue : “ King of Kings am I, X. If anyone would know how great I am and where I lie, let him surpass one of my works.”

X, also the name of a fictional character created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibson for DC, ranked no. 29 on Wizard’s Top 200 Comic Book Characters List and number 21 on IGN’s Top 100 Villains list.

Rated as the "one of the best episodes of TV ever made“, X is also the name of an episode of the Emmy Award winning show Y.
