Changes over the last few week ends :

  • The Punisher writeup has been much enhanced
  • The Lady Quark writeup has been enriched
  • Entirely redid the entry for Ramrod II, an obscure cyborg who fought Daredevil and Spider-Man
  • All of the Doom and Quake (that’s Doom I and Doom ][ and Quake I, to be precise) menagerie has been fine-tuned and improved
  • Dozens of other writeups have had improved illustrations, improved layout, corrected text, fixed errors, etc. I mean, even beyond the constant quality improvement maintenance.

New stuff uploaded today :

  • Alexander Luthor – Luthor’s analogue from Earth-2 and thus a good guy
  • Arachnotrons (the spider-like brains in mechanical walkers from the old Doom video game)
  • The beheaded troopers (bombers, firecrackers, kamikazes, rocketeers) that were the signature opponents from the Serious Sam video game
  • The third Black Widow – the young, deadly and naive Yelena Belova
  • Bullet, an interesting and sometimes dangerous Daredevil foe, has been completely rewritten
  • The Cyberdemon – one of the two bosses in the old Doom video games
  • The Demon Spitter (aka Romero’s Head) from the old Doom video games
  • Guardsman Kyuzo, the badass NCO from the Red Star comic books
  • Krystalin of the X-Men 2099
  • Lieutenant-Commander Leonard McCoy of the US Enterprise. He’s a doctor, not a bricklayer !
  • The Pre-Crisis, classic version of Lightning Lad with extensive notes
  • The fierce Makita, the teenage resistance fighter from the Red Star comic books
  • A Mancubus – Mancubi being the fat monsters with flamethrowers from the old Doom video games
  • Power Princess from Marvel’s Squadron Supreme
  • The Question writeup has been improved
  • More Doom stuff with the Revenants
  • Rintrah, the green minotaur who was once Doctor Strange’s apprentice
  • Sachs and Violens from the old David/Perez miniseries. With of course one writeup for Sachs and one for Violens.
  • Shooter I and Shooter II from the Marvel universe – they are unrelated but they both are damn obscure.
  • Sinister, the evil super-powerful geneticist and Apocalyse’s former servant from the Marvel Universe, aka Mister Sinister
  • Skullfire, of the X-Men 2099
  • The Spider Mastermind, who is the other boss from Doom games
  • The Whizzer from the Squadron Supreme
  • Xi’an of the X-Men 2099

And that’s now 2306 entries.

In this update… well, what was complete in that folder, since the stock was getting confusing to manage. Though there’s an unusual number of obscure thugs and enforcers in that batch, so that’s almost a theme.

  • The Arch-Vile, voted most annoying opponent in early Doomvideogames – and quite dangerous, too.
  • Atmos, the Pre-Crisis “hero” from Xanthu in Legion of Super-Heroes books
  • Batman… but a version of the character as imagined by Stan Lee for a parallel universe.
  • Blok, an obscure Maori enforcer complete with superstrength, tattoo and shades.
  • Bludgeon, superhuman West Coast muscle for hire
  • A very detailed and completely redone writeup for Crossbones, one of Cap’s most memorable opponents from the Waid run
  • A complete and entirely redone writeup for Cutthroat, an interesting but minor villainous weapons specialist from the Marvel Universe
  • Flash… but another Stan Lee re-imagining of that character
  • Grimbor the Chainsman, a classic Legion of Super-Heroes foe
  • Harpy III, a mad enforcer working for Maxie Zeus
  • Headhunter I, a punk-like gunman and top assassin who once nearly killed Commissioner Gordon
  • The Ladykillers – T and A – a pair of young oversexed female assassins and martial artists
  • Revised entry for La Lunatica, one of the most notable X-Men 2099
  • Mangler III, the most articulate minor superhuman thug around
  • Metalhead, a brutal spiked headcase who once fought Batman
  • Mister Phun, a tough but minor enforcer from Madripoor
  • Pagan, a man-hating buttkicker from Gotham City

Which brings us to 2279 entries, since three of the new ones are upgrades.
