The tags are still being deployed. Results are therefore incomplete.

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 8th of January added further material because...
Master Mind Excello
(Earl Everett)
Obscure 1940 proto-Marvel super-hero. All-knowing and nigh-invincible defender of America.
As of January of 2019, this profile received excellent M&M stats and was mindfully remastered.
Nyola the Aztec rain priestess
A 1940s DC Comics character with a surprising amount of backstory - once you start thinking about it. Magical weather powers.
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.
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.
Water Sprite
An obscure Superman enemy from the 1940s. When the nights were young, when we could do no wrong.
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.
Black Canary
(Profile #2 - Golden Age version)
The version of the Black Canary seen both solo and with the JSA during the Golden Age (in her case, 1948-1951) at DC Comics. This is an emergent history profile.
Black Canary
(Profile #1 - Earliest version)
The very first version of the Black Canary, as a crook, as published during the late 1940s in Johnny Thunder stories.
Pat Parker, War Nurse
A 1940s action heroine whose strip was published by Harvey Comics in Speed Comics. She's a two-fisted nurse fighting WWII in hot pants and a mask, as was the style of the day.
