Our second entry for Rocket, covering the revised version seen from 2007 to 2012.
A magical DC Heroes RPG player character. Illusionist. Lots of illustrations.
Christian preaching heroes glimpsed in Kurt Busiek’s Astro City comic book saga. They also seem to be an X-Men allusion.
From Kurt Busiek’s great Astro City comic books. Energy form.
From one of my favourite Astro City comics, the exec assistant of the equivalent of Doctor Strange. That’s a tough job.
An early Grant Morrison villain for Batman, in the story Gothic. Immortal, unkillable sadistic fallen monk of Satan.

From the 1985 schlock movie American Ninja, one of the Golan-Globus least forgettable home video action movies. This profile is guaranteed to contain ninja.
A badass soldier, body builder and karateka seen in 1980s schlock movie American Ninja. He was cool.

A very minor HYDRA enhanced enforcer who fought Daredevil and the Black Widow back in 1975.
A gisted profile for the Punisher, providing benchmark game stats and a good overview of his career.

Handy low-powered combat expert mercenary with some distinctive schticks.
