News and latest profiles
Big Wheel tactical intrusion team
An elite ad-hoc commando tasked with an unenviable and desperate task in Global Frequency comics. Neat example of high-end operatives with specialised skills and some near-future technology.
El Tigre
An obscure enemy of the early X-Men, then of Ka-Zar and Mockingbird, back in the days. He was never quite developed but he has ties to Latin American mobs, the Mayan gods, the Savage Land, oil cartels and other uncommon story elements.
Lana Kennedy
A memetics, neuroprogramming and xenolinguistics expert on the Global Frequency.
Pommie Girl and Lightning
An ad-hoc pair of tactical operatives for the Global Frequency, from Warren Ellis’ most excellent comics. Gunpowder smell ! Muzzle flashes ! Romance ! Web consulting !
Emmanuelle Chekhov, the Imperial Slayer
A vampire commando who hunts vampires, in the Russian Resurgence future depicted in Nikolai Dante comics published in 2000AD. She’s so vein, she prolly thinks this writeup is about her.
Jia Lau
The Chinese intelligence hitwoman seen in Global Frequency story “Detonation”. A particularly determined lady with a big shotgun, quick reflexes and on the Frequency.
Mister Grushko
Scary enforcement expert in Global Frequency comics. This entry is best read as part of a sequence that starts with the Miranda Zero character profile.
Golobulus
Another short-ish entry for a character from the 1987 G.I. Joe: the movie animated feature. Golobulus was the big bad, and the ruler of the ancient Cobra-La empire.
Nemesis Enforcer
Big, mutated super-warrior and agent. He was the, well, enforcer for Golobulus of Cobra-La in the 1987 animated G.I. Joe movie. Best read after the small Golobulus character profile for context.
Sumo
One of those forgettable 1990s Mutant Liberation Front X-baddies. Mass, leaps and strength.
Alice April
A professional bodyguard and sharpshooter with a more-than-shady past. But it’s okay, now she’s on the Frequency. This entry is part of a sequence that starts with the Miranda Zero character profile.
John Stark
John Stark is a Global Frequency field agent who seems to combine Special Forces military skills with some sort of police or intelligence experience.
Blinky
A street urchin telepath from outer space, as well as an ally of Black Bolt the Silent King.
Winston Croft
A master detective in Los Angeles, who has worked for the Global Frequency semi-covert organisation. With him around, a CSI episode would last about 8 minutes.
Bessie Bates
A 1940s young Black woman from Tuskegee who works her way into becoming an international pilot/adventurer.
Sato Takashi
A burned out Japanese agent of the Global Frequency, and infiltration expert. Best read after our Miranda Zero character profile if you’re not familiar with the material.
Batgirl
Stephanie Brown as Batgirl during her excellent 2009-2011 run. Unsinkable, endearing and getting pretty damn competent at this stage. But you should first check our Batgirl orientation page.
Batgirl
The second half of the writeup for Batgirl (Stephanie Brown). Check our guide to Batgirl character profiles first though – we’re starting to have a lot of Batgirl articles.
Weapons Locker – Melee weapons – Special-purpose, medium melee weapons
Weapons Locker article about medium-sized, less-than-common melee weapons. NEW ITEMS ARE SIGNALLED IN THE TABLE OF CONTENT.

Batgirl
Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) during her earliest, Silver Age, 1967/68 appearances.
Frenchman
A scary, weird expert in a comic book version of biofeedback. Superhuman violence monster, but he’s on the Frequency so he’s okay.
Spoiler
Stephanie Brown in 2008-2009, between her Robin era and her Batgirl era. Part of a large series, so definitely check Batgirl orientation page first.
Robin
Stephanie Brown during the brief era when she was Batman’s Robin. Please check our Batgirl orientation page first, though.
Casandra Andrews
The heroine of notable 1990s indie comic Wandering Star, a sci-fi/war/coming of age story.
Bat-Girl
This is the version of Bat-Girl (Betty Kane) who appeared in 1961, with the girly gadgets.
Killer Moth – a guide to Killer Moths
A mediocre, minor DC Comics villain. But there were more versions of him than you can shake a lamp at.
Shingo Yabuki
An eager, but inexperienced and naïve, student of the Kusanagi style in King of Fighters video games. He’s more skilled nowadays, though.
