Modred the Mystic

(Profile #1 - 1975-1978)

Marvel Comics' Modred the Mystic, a time-tossed Arthurian magician. This is the first chapter of his profile and covers his early appearances, back when he was meant to be an occult super-hero. As of October of 2021, this profile received a mystical round of mystical improvements, plus Mysticants & Mystic Minds game stats.

Spider-Woman

(Proto-Jessica Drew) (Profile #1 - Goodwin version)

The very first take on Spider-Woman (not yet called Jessica Drew), by Goodwin. It's rather different from what she later become, as the retcons start by her very next appearance. As of December of 2020, this profile has received polishing. Plus icky crawly too many legs Mutants & Masterminds TTRPG stats.

alttext

Tigra the were-woman

(Greer Nelson profile #2)

Our second profile for Marvel Comics heroine Greer Nelson, depicting her early days as Tigra. During those she was a bit different than in later depictions. As of December of 2019 the illustrations were redone in HD. The text also had its fur brushed, though it was reading better than I remembered.

Doctor Barbara “Bobbi” Morse

(Profile #1 - before Mockingbird 1971-1973)

This is where our chronological series of profiles for Mockingbird (Dr. Barbara "Bobbi" Morse) starts. So, her early 1970s Ka-Zar (lord of the jungle !) material with the bright red rompers. At this point she's not Mockingbird yet.

Hangman

(Harlan Krueger)

1970s psychopath with a scythe and noose, who thinks he's a righteous vigilante. The first Hangman (Harlan Krueger) chiefly clashed with the Werewolf by Night, and with Spider-Woman.

alttext

Deadly Nightshade

(Tilda Johnson) (Part #1 - the 1970s and 1980s)

A polymath mad scientist who started out as teenage girl from the ghetto. Nightshade brings a *lot* to the table, from her innumerable inventions and weapons to her career, moral ambiguities and character growth. As of July of 2018, this profile is being cleft in two shorter profiles.

alttext

DePrayve

An obscure, mediocre Jekyll & Hyde expy who fought the Werewolf by Night a few times during the 1970s. But I'm sure some of y'all can find ways to use this material to tell more interesting stories. Or eh, maybe you just need a stock brute who "exults in evil". That works too.

alttext

Krogg

A demon monster who fought the Werewolf by Night early on, during the 1970s.

alttext

Kraig

A stock horrorsploitation character that can be used in many stories. Clashed with Marvel's Werewolf by Night during the 1970s.

alttext

Werewolf by Night

(Profile #1 - Earliest)

This is the first, 1970s profile for Marvel Comics' Werewolf by Night during his early adventures. Woof. Grrr. As of April of 2018, this profile was split since it was a bit too long, and the illustrations were overhauled.

alttext

Werewolf by Night

(part #2 - Early)

Second part of Marvel Comics' Werewolf by Night 1970s profile. It's one entry in a series, or perhaps a part of a howl.

alttext

Sarnak, Master of the Army of Fear

Urban horror villain with special sonics and an army of near-C.H.U.D.s. Fought the Werewolf by Night back the days. As of March of 2018, this profile was overhauled and given sonically-engineered M&M stats.

alttext

Brute

(Atlas/Seaboard caveman)

From the strange adventure of Atlas/Seaboard comics (the Marvel comics killer !) comes the Brute, who had his own comic for a whole 3 issues. It was a weird time. As of November of 2017, we've defrosted some M&M stats for this guy.

alttext

“Four elemental destroyers”

Four elemental monsters who once fought the Thing, Spider-Woman and Modred the Mystic at Stonehenge. They seemed like handy chaps to have game stats for.

alttext

Ma Mayhem

An odd disguised assassin, familiar with the supernatural.

alttext

Silver Dagger

A fanatical killer, magician and ex-priest out to murder wizards such as Doctor Strange.

alttext

Elementals

An old-school team of magical Marvel baddies (and allegedly, gods).

alttext

Doctor Kurrarkill and Quasar the Future Man

Mad scientist, and a super-evolved manlike ape with enhanced strength and intelligence. Bad clichés wot fought Iron Man in 1975.

alttext

Mikas the Soulfather

A weird, crazy Iron Man enemy from 1971 and the strange "Assassin" story line. It was... something, it really was.

alttext

Black Talon

(Samuel Barone)

Perhaps the top zombies expert in the Marvel Universe, and a competent vaudou occultist and criminal.

alttext

Nicholas Scratch

An evil warlock who primarily fought the Fantastic Four. Useful magical villain.

(Elementals member)

Obscure magic "god" with earth powers, member of the Elementals.

alttext

Kay-Twelve aka Behemoth

A golem brute from a forgotten 1974 Werewolf by Night story.

alttext

Brother Voodoo

(Dr. Jericho Drumm)

One of the B-list good magicians on Marvel Earth. All the meanies make fun of him, but he's pretty cool.

alttext

Moondark

Mid-level dark magician with a huge ego and many tricks.

alttext

Scarlet Mask

A magical mask that turns people into tough berserkers. From an obscure 1973 horror comic.
