(Modern era) (Part #1)

The fourth version of Captain Marvel (Billy Batson)'s foe Captain Nazi, chronologically speaking. This profile covers the 1995-2010 material. As of January of 2021, this profile was refreshed - and split into two parts since it was too long for some to read in one go. It also received Mutants & Masterminds stats.

Captain Nazi

(1970s version)

Captain Marvel's enemy Captain Nazi as he appeared in the 1970s stories on DC's Earth-S. As of January of 2021, this profile received goose-stepping M&M TTRPG stats.

Black Canary

(Profile #3 - The 1960s) (Dinah Drake Lance of Earth-2)

Our chronological series about Black Canary continues ! This one covers the 1960s. There are now multiple Earths, and yearly Crises. What's a florist to do ? Part of the answer involves doing judo throws on giant gorillas.

Lastikman

(Movie version)

The version of the Filipino super-hero Lastikman seen in the 2004 movie take. As of August of 2020, the game stats and discussion about the traditional version of Lastikman have been restored. They had been lost for far too long due to a stupid cut-and-paste mistake.

Uncle Scrooge

(Life & Times version)

How much would you pay for RPG stats for Uncle Scrooge ? One million ? Two billions ? A poolfull ? Well, they're free.

Icicle

(Joar Makent part #1])

The Golden Age version of the character, though he endured into the 1990s. Criminal, genius, wielder of the cold gun. As of January of 2020, this profile was overhauled for concision and smoother reading. It was also cleft in two to facilitate reading on smartphones.

Tuk the cave boy

A very minor character from the distant past of the Marvel Universe. Your typical heroic cave boy of the day, really. As of January of 2020, did a tiny update. And heh, since we're on a break on not publishing anything else, I might as well push him up the homepage. As of the 8^th of January added further material because...

Catwoman

(Profile #2 - 1950s)

This is the part that comes after the two-parts article about Catwoman during the 1940s. Unsurprisingly, it's about Catwoman as she appeared during the 1950s. Or rather the early 1950s, for historical reasons.

Man in the iron mask

An obscure 1947 enemy of the Batman. Gangster-with-a-gimmick type.

Master Mind Excello

Catwoman

(Profile #1 - 1940s, part 1)

This is specifically for the earliest (1940-1949) versions of Catwoman (a.k.a. the Cat, a.k.a. the Cat Woman). Because she changes a lot over time. As of November of 2018, this article was overhauled, and is now presented as a two-parter due to all the additional material.

Mister Who

An obscure yet perfectly viable enemy of Doctor Fate, mostly seen during the 1940s. Growth and (sometimes) physical adaptation/morphing powers. Criminal mastermind type.

Superwoman

(Lois Lane in 1943)

In 1943, a dreaming Lois Lane became the first Superwoman. It was a short but intriguing story, and clearly it can be made even better by adding RPG stats. I mean, that's obvious to everyone, right ?

Captain Ironfist

An obscure 1942 enemy of Superman and Lois Lane. Possibly a ghost pirate, but prolly not.

Monster

(Jason Rogers)

One of the notable enemies of the Justice Society of America during the 1940s - there aren't that many, really. He's a cliché yet he works pretty well.

Madame Death

A 1940s mobster with some potential to her, who later became a time traveller since that was a Tuesday. Ally of the Future Man.

Future Man

(Timely Comics)

A 1946 proto-Marvel time-travelling villain, who fought the All-Winners (the post-War version of the Invaders, more or less). He's confirmed to have existed in the Marvel Universe, and seems useful.

Terror

(Laslo Pevely)

A fairly obscure Golden Age killer vigilante with minor powers and a sinister Gothic appearance. As of October of 2017, the Terror has received skull-faced M&M stats. And as of June of 2018, the illustrations were redone and the text was combed back.

Water Sprite

An obscure Superman enemy from the 1940s. When the nights were young, when we could do no wrong.

Dawn Man

An odd but generally friendly prehistoric man. He appeared in a 1940s Superman story.

Captain Nazi

(1980s version)

This profile is part of a series about this Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) enemy. It focuses on the barely-seen 1980s version of Captain Nazi - Lester Abernathy. As of April of 2018 it has been brushed up, the illustrations were replaced by HD ones, and it received goosestepping M&M game stats.

Strongarm Bandit

A circus strongman who fought Superman that one time, in 1940.

President John F. Kennedy

If Franklin Delano Roosevelt gets official DCH RPG stats as the emblematic President of the Golden Age of comics, then let's have some for John Fitzgerald Kennedy as the emblematic Silver Age of comics one.

Wonder Woman

(Diana of Themyscira) (Gail Simone take) (part #1)

Our main, Big Damn Huge Wonder Woman Profile. Tons of everything. Recommended reading. As of July of 2017, this article was split into three part due to the aforementioned "big damn huge" factor. So that's more convenient to read, and this allowed for various small improvements in passim. So now this specific article is the one with the quick intro, and...

White Rajah

One of those colonial White Saviour types from the Golden Age. More specifically, White Rajah appeared a few times in Fawcett comic books, starting with Master Comics #1 in 1940. He has an elephant, but do not fret - the elephant is white too.
