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

Brick

(Borderlands)

One of the Player Characters in the first Borderlands video game. Superhumanly strong and tough berserker giant mutant. As of November of 2020, added M&M stats and some polish. As of March of 2021, fully redid and partially updated this profile.

alttext

Captain Nazi

(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.

alttext

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.

alttext

Ryu

(Tom's profile) (Part #1]

Tom's more modern take about the lead character in the Street Fighter brawling video games. As of January of 2021, this had been revised and updated. That means additional material, so it's now a two-parter so everyone can read it.

alttext

Balrog a.k.a. Vega

(Tom's profile)

One of the classic Street Fighter video games baddies. Super-acrobatic Spanish sociopath with claw weapons. As of January of 2021, this embarrassingly old text has received extensive edits and a small update.

alttext

Captain Nazi

(1940s version)

This is the original, 1940s version of this enemy of Captain Marvel in Fawcett Comics. As of January of 2021, this profile has had its style/clarity/readability edits, and received its Mutants und Masterminds game stats.

alttext

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

Dharlu

An enigmatic and powerful alien seen in a few 1970s Justice League of America stories.

alttext

Queen Femina Suarestellar Baroux

The space misandrist enemy of Zsa Zsa Zaturnnah, by golly ! Who was a goofy, not-highbrow parody of Filipina national super-heroine Darna. This entry previously had to be altered due to US online advertising standards. So we restored it, and did its hair while we were at it. If there are problems again I'll just ditch the ads, as happens increasingly...

alttext

Putty Drones

Odd little, pliable androids who once took on the Justice League of America. They can thus be interesting opponents.

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

Grey Warden Utha

An elite Grey Warden who's also a mute kung fu Dwarf paladin. Utha appears in David Gaider's Dragon Age: The Callin prequel novel (and in a game DLC).

alttext

Challengers of the Unknown

(Jack Kirby era, part #1)

The ur-group-of-comic-book-adventurers, created by Jack Kirby during the late 1950s. This two-part article dwelves deep into the entire Kirby run, chums ! For scientific discovery !

alttext

Muhammad Ali

A primer about the great boxer Muhammad Ali (formerly Cassius Clay). Plus comic-book-style DC Heroes RPG game stats for him. Because, as you no doubt remember, he once fought Superman !

alttext

Sergeant Slaughter

(G.I. Joe version)

This is the version of the Sergeant Slaughter wrestling persona that appeared in older G.I. Joe cartoons because of reasons. Super-tough physical conditioning instructor and hand-to-hand fighter.

alttext

Tongpu (Mad Pierrot)

A strange, superhuman assassin/serial killer. Tongpu appeared in a fan-favourite episode of Cowboy Bebop.

alttext

Red Guardian

(Colonel Alexei Shostakov)

Marvel's 1960s Red Guardian - a sort of Soviet Captain America. Comes with a fair bit of background notes. As of December of 2019, this entry was entirely overhauled, and received M&M stats. But the stats are not for you. They are for the people.

alttext

American Eagle

(Jason Strongbow) (Part #1 - 1980s)

One of Marvel's Native American super-heroes. Powerful Navaho fighter with enhanced strength and senses. As of October of 2019, this profile is being completely redone as a three-parter.

alttext

Black Canary

(Wu/Fletcher take)

Another profile for Black Canary (Dinah Drake). This one covers a *specific* era during the mid-2010s, when she was part of a rock band. It was fairly cool, though IMO it was Annie Wu's art that really sold it.

alttext

Valkyr-class warframe

A short-ish profile of the Valkyr warframe from, well, the Warframe video game, for use in tabletop/pen-and-paper RPGs. Enraged space panther cyber ninja super soldier, or some combination thereof.

alttext

Frenchman

(Global Frequency)

A scary, weird expert in a comic book version of biofeedback. Superhuman violence monster, but he's on the Frequency so he's okay. This is the last of our Warren Ellis et al's Global Frequency character profiles, as we've covered every writeup-able bit. It was a cool ride.

alttext

Nemesis Enforcer

(G.I. Joe - the movie)

Big, mutated super-warrior and agent. He was the, well, enforcer for Golobulus of Cobra-La in the 1987 animated G.I. Joe movie.

alttext

Big Wheel tactical intrusion team

(Global Frequency)

From Warren Ellis' Global Frequency story "Big Wheel", an elite ad-hoc commando tasked with an unenviable and desperate task. Neat example of high-end operatives with specialised skills and some near-future technology.

alttext

Master Bison

(Tom's profile) (A.k.a. Vega)

The famous Big Bad in early Street Fighter video games. Super-martial-artist, crime lord, technologist, psychic. As of December of 2018, Tom harnessed his dreaded Psycho Power and punched this old profile of his into shape. Also, we're now using the US version of the names since sticking to the Japanese one was more confusing.

alttext

Mickey O’Neil

A colourful character from the movie Snatch, played by Brad Pitt. A modern tribal nomad in Britain who's also one hell of a bare-knuckles boxer. These are old notes. Yet as of December of 2018, Pawsplay roamed in and added some punchy M&M stats.

alttext

Mike Haggar

This street-fighting wrestler appeared in 1980s Capcom video games and returned a few times, notably in Final Fight games. And so did his moustache.
