6198 in-depth character profiles from comics, games, movies
News and latest profiles
Downtime due to attacks
During the 14th of February, and maybe in the next few days.
Egg tengu
A small clan of magical Japanese creatures. These once helped the Outsiders fight crime, sort of.
Thermodynamicist Pixxel
Example of an Asura engineer/scientist — and reluctant adventurer — in the Guild Wars II fantasy setting. Very Serious Mom with an afro, flamethrowers and some heavy metal. This profile should be read after the Zojja character profile.
Champions
The first three years of the 2016+ version of that Marvel Comics super-team. Young super-heroes struggling for the common good.
DC Heroes RPG – Human strength and durability benchmark
A discussion of human-scale (for loose values of “human”) STR and BODY attributes in DCH. No, really, it’s an interesting subject. Promise.
Paintball
An early enemy of Stargirl. Versatile but not hugely powerful colour- and energy-based powers.
Asp
A minor Serpent Society and BAD Girls member, with bioelectric powers. This profile is meant to be read after a/ VINTAGE ACTION FIGURE WEAPONS LOT Misc 9 Piece and b/ the B.A.D. Girls team profile.
Leprechaun
From so-so 2014 horror movie Leprechaun Origins, an animalistic Irish slasher monster.
Firefly
DC Comics’ pre-Crisis Firefly. The one who debuted in 1952 and fought Batman, the Creeper, and the Outsiders. Minor, obscure gadgeteer with light-based weapons.
Cobra Commander
The Cobra Commander in older G.I. Joe cartoons with Cobra-La stuff.
STRIPE aka S.T.R.I.P.E.
DC Comics’ Golden Age hero Stripesy (Pat Dugan). But this profile focuses on his 1999-2000 appearances with the S.T.RI.P.E. power armour in the Stars and STRIPE comic book.
King Randor
The father of He-Man (Prince Adam) in the 1980s Masters of the Universe cartoons. Hail to the King, baby.
Doctor Midnight
The first inheritor to the Golden Age Doctor Mid-Night, during the 1980s. Primarily seen in the pages of Infinity, Inc..
Inhumans
Let’s talk about Marvel Comics’ Inhumans. Let’s walk among a few decades of ancient lore, cosmic grandeur and the occasional continuity gaffe.
Inhumans
This part is about ancient Inhumans history on Earth, and what can piece together. It’s meant to be read after BEECHCRAFT INSERT GROMMETS SLP162D8-1 BY BEECHCRAFT NEW.
Rugal Bernstein
A master villain from the King of Fighters martial arts video games series. Old profile currently undergoing rounds of improvements.
Saint Razor
An example of a Norn — giant pseudo-Vikings, more or less — warrior in the Guild Wars 2 heroic fantasy world. Axed and answered. This is best read after the Eir Stegalkin character profile.
Pharaoh Tut-Ak-Mun
An obscure 1948 Egyptian enemy of Namora. Undead mummy soldiers.
Flash
An extensive profile of Barry Allen from the 1990 Flash live action TV show, though it lasted all of one season.
Flash
Second half of an extensive profile of Barry Allen from the 1990 Flash live action TV show. The first half of the article is there.
Queen Marlena
From the 1980s Masters of the Universe animated series. She’s the queen, and He-Man and She-Ra’s mum.
Aryn Vance, salvage and rescue operative
A space salvage and space rescue specialist – in space. Aryn is the heroine of small, well-reviewed indie video game STARDROP.
Stasis
A forgettable member of Brigade by Rob Liefeld. Stasis field power.
Elemental Man
A vintage Batman enemy who could turn into different elements.
Ken Masters
Our alternate, more modern take on Ken Masters from the Street Fighters video games.
Calorie Queen
This is the legendary (okay, not really) Calorie Queen as she appeared pre-Crisis, with the Legion of Super-Rejects. Yeah, 1975, you’re correct.
Cougar
Cat People power-mad scientist with advanced technology. This profile is meant to be read after the Cat People species profile.
Buzz-Off
Bzzz. The bee dude from the 1980s Masters of the Universe cartoons.
Boy named Sue
The protagonist of the Shel Silverstein song made famous by Johnny Cash in 1969+. Savage brawler.
Strike Force Kobra
“Base camp” mini-article about the members of both versions of DC Comics’ Strike Force Kobra. These were enemies of the Outsiders back during the Barr runs.
