Dismiss5849 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.
Older, dual-statted technical notes for Cyclops of the X-Men during the 1970s and 1980s (and part of the 1990s). Largely a technical benchmark.
Our gisted profile for Cap, presenting the character as he’s generally been throughout the decades in an accessible manner.
A minor but handy power armour-wearing arsonist and mercenary.
Part of a chronological series about Greer Nelson (a.k.a. the Cat and Tigra). This one goes 1976-1980 to keep the articles short and easy to read.
One of these “young X-Men” characters at Marvel that seldom seem to stick, even though many of them are pretty cool. Armor is one of the better ones, too. Japanese teenager with a psychic exoskeleton.
A mob legbreaker with a lot of muscle to him.
A classic Marvel Comics lightweight villain, primarily associated with the Fantastic 4. Distinctive arsenal of adhesives-based gadgets and weapons. And sometimes, he’s more dangerous than he looks…
Our second profile for Greer Nelson, depicting her early days as Tigra. During those she was a bit different than in later depictions.
A fanatical killer, magician and ex-priest out to murder wizards such as Doctor Strange.
Jeff “Joker” Moreau during the first Mass Effect video game (and before). Handicapped but brilliant space pilot.
Less-than-major enemy of the New Warriors, leading a useful and convenient team. Flamethrowing suit, smart and smooth agent.

Minor mercenary with flying power armour, part of a team.
Mercenary with light, sea/air/land power armour.
In the wonderful Astro City setting, he’s about 75% Superman and 25% Captain Marvel. Very powerful, iconic, perfect super-hero and saviour.
A fairly powerful warlock encountered during the first season of Charmed, who steals magical powers.
An elite ninja killer and Daredevil foe patterning herself after Bullseye. Martial, acrobatic and body control skills.
One of the topmost martial artists and ninja masters in the Marvel Universe. He also likes beer.
This second chapter covers Black Tarantula’s appearances in Daredevil, up to Shadowland.
First profile for Marvel Comics’ Black Tarantula (Carlos LaMuerto), covering his 1990s Spider-Man appearances. Rather powerful, superhuman Argentinian crime lord.
An old-school team of magical Marvel baddies (and allegedly, gods).
The Old West psychopath whose #1 fan is Al Bundy on Married with children.
Big-head psionic arch-enemy for a somewhat strange and obscure future version of Superman.
Our more extensive profile about this classic medical drama character, the insufferable and dysfunctional genius who was the star of the House TV show.
Gifted if bubble-headed underage burglar. From the Gunsmith Cats manga.
