Dismiss5821 in-depth character profiles from comics, games, movies
Writeups.org is an encyclopaedia of characters in genre fiction — comic books, video games, action movies, etc. It offers illustrated, researched profiles. These also include technical data for role-players. If you need a robust understanding of a character’s abilities, personality, history, etc. this is *the* place to be.

A very minor 1977 enemy of Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and Nova (Richard Rider). But heh, he’s useful as a stock baddie.
As of September of 2017, this profile received an overhaul and well-lit M&M stats.
So that’s the version of B.J. Blazkowicz who is featured in the vintage Wolfenstein 3D video game – later (and earlier) versions would be a different profile. Super-elite World War Two commando. The profile includes game emulation rules.
As of September of 2017, B.J. now has dauntless M&M stats.
This profile covers the classic career of Warlock, the techno-organic mutant alien among the New Mutants. There’s also a fair bit of stuff about modelling his species’ abilities.
Our third Cluemaster profile, this one covering the Dixon take on him and subsequent events up to Flashpoint. Still something of a loser, but markedly more dangerous and oddly realistic for a guy in bright orange Spandex.
Minor police character who appeared in 1990s stories in Robin. But clearly useful for Gotham-area games.
Gears of the Transformers, as he appeared in the early Marvel Comics spin-off of the 1980s.
This is the technical primer (still in beta) for a future series of Weapons Locker articles about body armour. A one-stop recap about the tools we use to model body armour in DCH in a coherent, detailled-but-not-too-much manner.

As of September 2017, this profile was fully reloaded in double-ought magnum, Jack.
The former Marvel Boy, a young telekinetic hero who worked with the Thing, the New Warriors then the Avengers – which isn’t half-bad. Vance Astrovik will also would have become a time-travelling astronaut. Yeah, that part’s complicated.
Very minor Marvel hulking alien menace. But he plays an important role in the origin of Nova (Richard Rider) as he kills not-Abin-Sur. So he’s a handy space marauder.
As of September of 2017, this space writeup received a space overhaul complete with space M&M stats.
Big alien war creatures with cybernetics, energy machineguns for hands and a redoubtable force shield. From the Shadowgrounds video game.

We’d like to point you toward a humble bundle starring the Rise of the Tomb Raider video game. Since we’ve fairly proud of our character profile for the 2013-rebooted version of Lara Croft.
It’s $12 and comes with a basket of mystery games.
