  • Answer
• The lengthiest entry for this batch is probably the full profile of Aztek, an excellent but short-lived hero brought to the DCU by Grant Morrison. He’s pretty spiffy.
• This batch also includes two more Aztek villains, or rather, a couple of heroes tragically fallen into bitter villainy – Bloodtype (formerly Mr. America) and Death Doll (formerly Liberty Lass).
• A timeline has been added for Kal El’s campaign Patrulla Barna
• The rewrite for Nomad III (Jack Monroe) has started, though this is pretty hard to predict when it will be finished. The old writeup is still available, and there are two new, very detailed ones:
  • Jack as Bucky III (both in the 1950s and in the 1970s)
  • Jack during his early Nomad career (before he started using firearms)
• Here are further writeups from Peter’s research into the Larsenverse. In this batch:
  • Cutthroat
  • Cyberface
  • Mako
  • Powerhouse, the superman with the head of a chicken
• A home-brewed character; Death Hunter by Lord Jobe
• A triad of very old writeups for Doctor Who – the Fourth regeneration, the Eighth Regeneration and a ‘generic’ writeup. Those writeups are so ancient they no longer meet our quality requirements, but since people keep requesting them to be reposted and we’re not going to rewrite them any time soon, they’re in after all.
• This batch also has more of those really, really cool characters from Grant Morison’s Seven Soldiers meta-series. Namely:
  • Don Vincenzo the Undying Don (formerly Kid Scarface)
  • Mister Melmoth, one of the key villains of the story
  • Sally Sonic, another tragically fallen heroine (lots of those from Grant M. in this batch)
• From Pufnstuff’s work on the Stephen King Universe, here is an entry for the young Firestarter.
• A classic Marvel villain finally got a full, quite detailed writeup (and thus a complete rewrite from the previous entry): the second Gladiator, Melvin Potter ! This entry also fixes a grave issue – for some reason, all the Gladiator II profiles I ever saw had a terrible picture. Well, *ours* has a really cool leading illustration..
• Another Marvel bad guy who got a complete overhaul since his existing entry no longer matched quality standards – the second Silencer.
• We don’t have an entry for Earth-616′s Janet van Dyne yet, so here are three other Wasps to compensate:
  • The Golden Wasp, an early enemy of Wildcat from the 1940s
  • The Killer Wasp, an enemy of wildcat and the JSA in the 2000s
  • The Wasp, but from the Ultimate Universe
• Speaking of the Ultimates, this batch also has an entry for two more – Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch !
• Speaking of the Scarlet Witch, this batch includes an entry for the Wanda of Earth-616. Since this is one of those very complete writeups, it only covers her early career ; more to come, err, later.
• Remember our Tommy Vercetti (the main character from the Grand Theft Auto – Vice City videogame) writeup ? Well, the second half is here ! Covering Tommy in his career as a full-fledged drugs lord.

And that’s all the content for now. Current number of entries is 3452.
