Man-Ape

(M'Baku) (Part 1.1)

A traditional -- and remarkably dangerous -- enemy of the Black Panther. This profile is filled with stuff about Wakandan history and politics, as M'Baku is a much much more interesting character than most people think. Only a fool underestimates the White Gorilla ! As of March of 2021, added a new section about the Gorilla God.

alttext

Atom

(Ray Palmer)

The Silver Age Atom (Ray Palmer) from the very beginning up to Blackest Night inclusive. As of December of 2020, this entry was split in two parts. This may seem like a small thing, but it helps slower readers not shrink away from long texts.

alttext

Commissar

An obscure robot who nearly beat the Avengers in 1965. Strong fighter. As of November of 2020, this entry was revisited. It also now includes M&M stats and a summary of the "fictional Sin Cong as a stand-in for the Việt Nam invasion" continuity bit.

alttext

Peter Cannon… Thunderbolt !

An interesting 1966-1967 Charlton Comics hero. Not unlike a proto-Iron Fist. As of September of 2020, this profile received an editorial review - plus M&M stats that can do it, that must do it, that will do it !

alttext

A 1960s criminal marksman-for-hire. The forgotten Sad Sam was one of Daredevil's earliest foes.

alttext

Jester

(Jonathan Powers) (Part #1 -1960s/1980s)

One of the older enemies of Daredevil (Matt Murdock). He's one of those baddies who actually have plenty of range and potential if you pay a bit of attention. As of June of 2020, this profile was entirely redone.

alttext

Eel

(Leopold Stryke)

Silver Age themed Marvel minor villain wot got killed by the Bronze Age. He was a convenient 1960s/1970s jobber. As of May of 2020, we've slipped in a complete, electrifying overhaul of this profile.

Madame Hydra a.k.a. Viper

(Ophelia Sarkissian) (Part #1 - Origins and ghosts)

This covers the Viper (Ophelia Sarkissian)’s early life and her original career as Madame Hydra, during the early 1970s. That's the Jim Steranko era. So hang on to your fez, true believers ! As of May of 2020, this profile was entirely redone. We cut it once, and two shall take its place. More, actually.

alttext

Jungle-Man

A goofy, obscure, super-dated cliché who fought Batman back in 1963. When the nights were young, when we could do no wrong.

alttext

Bird-Man

(Ani-Men)

Light winged power armour and a pistol, just as real birds do. Mercenary, obscure villain. As of April of 2020, this profile was entirely rewritten.

alttext

Owlman

(Pre-Crisis version)

A sort of creepy, evil would-be telepathic Batman from another reality. This is the 1964 version, not the Grant Morrison one.

And as of April of 2020 a technical review/explanation was appended to the stats, since they're a bit abstract.

alttext

An obscure Silver Age super-villain who hops. Ani-Men member. As of April of 2020, this profile was entirely rewritten.

alttext

Annihilus

(Part #1 - 1960s/70s)

A great space menace from another universe. And one of Marvel Comics' notable villains. As of March of 2020, this entry has been entirely redone. It now covers but the 1960s and 1970s, since even just that is a lot of info.

alttext

Dakota Jones

An obscure sort-of-ally of Batman, decades ago. Brawler and famous race cars driver.

alttext

(Ani-Men)

Silver Age mob enforcer in cat-themed light power armour. As of March of 2020, this profile was redone from tail to whiskers as we overhaul our Ani-Men material.

Obscure Batman enemy, only seen once in 1969. He's Batman's tailor... and he's gone rogue ! Duh duh dum !

alttext

Ape-Man

(Ani-Men)

Silver Age villainous boxer with strength-enhancing exo. Part of a handy but goofy small team of mercenaries, the Ani-Men. As of March of 2020, this small profile was entirely redone. We finally really did it ! We maniacs ! We blew it up !

A minor, odd-looking, oddly enduring team of minor Marvel malefactors.

alttext

alttext

Captain Q

(Adam West)

A small profile for the character played by Adam West in 1965 TV commercials for powdered chocolate. Even though that makes no sense.

alttext

Ivan the gunman

A 1967 Fantastic Four baddie with a solar pistol. Probable secret master of the Marvel Universe. This guys is terribly obscure, but you can use him pretty much anywhere. So that's convenient. As of January of 2010, he received powerful solar-powered M&M stats.

alttext

Brain Globes of Rambat

1962 enemies of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes. Very Silver Age. Powerful alien mentalists. As of December of 2019, the illustrations were redone and they received M&M game stats... in a transparent globe!
