Three ants are going up a hill, one behind the other. The last ant then says to the other ants, "There is an ant behind me!" How come?
The 3rd ant is carrying a 4th ant on his back. 3 ants are still walking up the hill and there is one ant behind the 3rd ant. If you want to get technical and say the 4th is above the 3rd ant, then the 3rd ant is dragging the 4th ant behind him. Either way, the 4th ant isn't walking.

Ok, I have no idea at this point, but one thing the puzzle does not say anything about is order, so anyone else looking may not want to get hung up on the order of things. Perhaps order does matter, but perhaps it doesn't.
largeneal is the closest one to figuring out the reasoning so far. Uranus was already said to be correct for the first blank.

He's smuggling diamond encrusted bike helmets. One way he wears a helmet, the other way he doesn't.

Which is the odd one out? a pair of gloves, a pair of socks, a pair of underpants?
Gloves. you need legs to put on a pair of socks and underpants.
Even though this has nothing to do with anything, I can't help but answer:
underpants, because gloves and socks are actually 2 things making the pair

To answer this literally:
Air (it passes in front of the sun, yet makes no shadow)
To answer it abstractly:
A Day (A day passes in front of the sun and yet makes no shadow)
Does a day pass in front of the sun or does the sun pass over a day? Or is there any way to make the abstract answer make sense?

But how can you re-read the sign if you couldn't read it in the first place?

She never taught it to say `a word´.
Or it only repeats 'every word it hears' so it will never say 'a word'

For those of us who are uninitiated into whatever weird fantasy world at least two of you live in, could you please explain the mary had a little lamb/zombie reference? Thank you.
I think it's a Resident Evil joke

.....yeah! NUMBER
Thank you, I'm off to bed
Good night
I think phone call makes more sense than my number. Wouldn't she have everyone's number?
-
What about something that's logically impossible for her to have, like a phone call.

I don't have a problem with them. I'm just saying the question is very broad, and if we are going to include fiction, we can't pick and choose which parts of the bible apply.
If I asked you "what did alice eat in wonderland" obviously this is vague, and I can't say that only one answer is right.
Just like if you ask "Who killed 1/4 of mankind, my answer cannot be discounted solely because it is not what the OP was looking for.
What did Alice eat to get bigger is not vague...
-
I say the same thing when you say Cain. Since Cain never existed, there is no answer to this problem. If we want to include biblical stories, then we can't leave out god killing people too.
So you have a problem with fiction, but if I ask: 'who fought the windmill?' or: 'what is the name of the computer that went berserk in space?' or 'What does Alice eat to get bigger in Wonderland?'
These would all be answered using fictional names or things for questions asked about fictional stories. Yet they only have 1 generally acknowledged answer.

They are not the same, but it is not inaccurate to say you killed 1/4 of the enemy. like my example before, if I then asked you if you've killed a man, you would say yes. You're not lying, you have killed more than a man, but in English it is also true that you have killed a man, 1/10, 1/4 etc. of the enemy.
You would say "yes I've killed a man." not "No I haven't killed a man." Just because you've killed more than 1.
I know what you're saying, but apply it to this riddle. Does God really make sense for an answer to who killed 1/4 of mankind? If you say yes, I still say no

But he took it as she has every disease. If someone said "I have a cold" then obviously they have a cold. From this logic, "I have everything" would mean they have every disease, in which case penicillin is needed.
I enjoyed angieinchains's answer very much
But she also would have penicillin.

And how about this set?
3rd Set: I O S H Z X N
They look the same upside down and in a mirror

But killing more than 1/4 is also killing 1/4. Look at the other puzzle where it says a woman has 7 children, and half of them are boys. How is this possible? Because the other half is also boys. If i kill two people, is it incorrect for me to say "I've killed a man" No, because it is true. If you kill everyone except Noah's family, that is killing 1/4 of the population (and more).
If the OP had said "who killed exactly 1/4 of the population?" that would be a different story
Killing more than 1/4 is not the same as killing 1/4. If I have 20 enemies and I kill 1/4, then I kill 5. If I kill 7, which is greater than 1/4 of 20, it is not the same.

What's with all the 14 answers? The answer is zero.

I feel like a hint is in order.
There is a Titan who could be named, but doesn't meet one of the criteria

1)looks the same if u flip them over left to right
2)looks the same if u flip them top to bottom

still wanna marry her guys? lol
penicillinLOL! But if she has everything, then she also has the antidotes, cures, etc... for all those nasty things
-
If we're going to include biblical allegories,then we could also say god. Because he killed everyone except Noah and his family, and that is at least 1/4
I see what you mean, but the riddle asks for the one who killed 1/4, not more or less than 1/4.
-
The OP clearly states that the assistant hands Mr. Z the $10 from Mr. X. If that is not the counterfeit 10, then we have to assume Mr. Z is lying and nowhere is anything said that should give that assumption.

Well you could just name all the Greek Gods, but that wouldn't be fun. There is a method to this madness and so far, none of the answers for the last 2 blanks are correct.
If you're only going to use Parent/Child relationships, just think about how many children Zeus has.

Jordanmax has one of the answers, but not the reason behind it.
