A heist movie with superheroes [like Winter Soldier was a spy flick with superheroes]. Brings in one of the strong secondary characters of the MCU, with Michael Douglas providing the nod to the original character's past.

Sets up one of the primary MCU characters, provides the needed backstory before putting him on present-day Earth to deal with some of the legendary villains of the Asgardian universe. Well done.

Organize needed peripherals with this Microsoft USB-C travel hub. The HDMI ports support 4K monitors for enhanced performance, while the USB ports let you connect and charge your wireless mouse, keyboard and other accessories. This black Microsoft USB-C travel hub works seamlessly with PC systems and all Surface laptops for increased compatibility.
 

With the hub plugged into my Surface Pro 3, can I simultaneously operate a second screen monitor, plug into a network, and access files on a thumb drive?

the hub gives you HDMI and VGA video ports for the monitor, a GigE RJ-45 jack and two USB ports, one C-type and one A-type, so yes you could plug in your thumbdrive.

This black Microsoft USB-C travel hub works seamlessly with PC systems and all Surface laptops for increased compatibility.
 

If I plug a USB-C 100W PD 3.0 charger into the USB-C receptacle on the hub, will it charge laptop battery? If so, at what max charge rate for Go, Go2, Book2, Book3, Laptop 3, Pro7, ProX - i.e. how much power is reserved for the hub vs passed-through?

specs page on the Microsoft site says: 1 USB-C® 3.2 Gen 2 port (10 Gbps data transfers and pass-through accessory charging) NOTE: Supports compatible accessory charging. Does NOT support laptop charging. (emphasis added)

You might want to try a different USB-C hub with PD ports (I believe you need 3A@15V for Surface) and a third-party USB-C to Surface Connect cable

Can this be a networked drive accessible from multiple machines on same WiFi?

This just has USB off the back, you'd need something like a RasPi to connect it to and advertise it onto your network.

Can this drive be partitioned with each partition having a different file systems? Does this drive come with the software to do?

Doing that now, with both EXT4 and FAT32 partitions. You need disk software that can handle a GPT drive

Can I attach this to my 4TB My Cloud to increase the storage capacity? I currently have a 5TB Easystore portable drive connected to MY Cloud but will need much more space. The shared contents are streamed to a WDTV box.

Should work fine if the smaller Easystore has worked for you. That WDTV box is old though, you might want to look at something like a Roku to plug it into...

What r pm does this drive spin at?

Spec shows this as a 5400 RPM drive, so if you're out for performance this is probably not enough.
