Tag Archive for "Master Spy"

Davy Tenzer

(King David)

DC Comics' Davy Tenzer is the Biblical King David, but as a 1970s immortal anti-terror international singing super-spy. Sometimes, he fights snake aliens.

One sharp spy and assassin (or "bard", as they say in Orlais). She appears in the Dragon Age prequel novel, The Stolen Throne. Katriel played a critical role in the Fereldan War of Liberation... and, in a way, beyond. As of February of 2020, added a section about Dragon Age: The Calling.

XIII

(Thirteen, 13)

From a classic Francophone modern thriller/action/espionage saga. XIII operates in a fairly realistic genre, but within these limits he's rather badass. As of June of MMXIX, this entry has received M&M stIVts.

Bobbi Morse (aka Huntress, aka Mockingbird)

(Profile #2 - Mockingbird begins 1973-1980)

The second part of our series of character profiles for Marvel Comics' Dr. Barbara "Bobbi" Morse, aka Huntress and Mockingbird. This covers an interim area where she has acquired heroic-level martial and athletic skills. She appears as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, then as maverick counter-intelligence operative the Huntress, then debuts her Mockingbird identity.

Black Widow

(Natalia Romanova) (Profile #1 - 1927-1946)

An unreasonably thorough explanation about the Black Widow (Natalia Romanova) from the origins to the end of the Great Patriotic War. Buckle up, it's something of a ride. As of January of 2019, this profile has received yet more polishing, and was cleft due to length.

Black Widow

(Natalia Romanova) (Profile #2 - 1946-1965)

Part the second of our beautiful and deadly character profile for Natalia Romanova. This one covers 1946-1965, but in practice it mostly corresponds to her earliest Marvel appearances as a femme fatale after Tony Stark's industrial assets. Or at least, what he insists are industrial assets.

Leliana

(Profile #1 - Early)

Chapter one of our coverage for Leliana, one of the major characters in the Dragon Age video game saga. Pseudo-French spy, manipulator, lover, killer, archer, bard, singer, assassin, fashionista, nun and other things. As of March/April of 2018, did various small improvements and additions. Everything will get reworked later this year (depending upon Nvidia GPUs...), but that'll hold the fort...

Miranda Lawson

(Part #1)

An interesting (but poorly filmed) Mass Effect character. Peak human genetically engineered shadow agent and terrorist, with a lot of baggage. As of February of 2018, this profile has been split into two parts due to length. And because it has a lot of images. I wonder why we have so many screenshots of Miranda, I truly do.

Carol Danvers

(Before Ms. Marvel, part #1)

Our first Carol Danvers profile (they're in chronological order), so start here. This one covers "flashback Carol" during her career as a military pilot and intelligence agent. As of December of 2017, this article was split into two. Because it was a bit too long, and because there's LOTS OF STUFF in it.

Prisoner

(Number 6) (part #1)

From the landmark 1967/68 The Prisoner TV series. As of December of 2017, this profile was split into two parts since it was just a bit too long for some to read in one sitting.

Zartan

(G.I. Joe)

The deadly master of disguise, invisibility, archery, etc. who has been such a pain in the fundament for the G.I. Joe teams. This is specifically the version of Zartan that appeared in the older Marvel Comics G.I. Joe stories - as with the rest of Bryan's G.I. Joe writeups arc.

Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine

One of the main Nick Fury supporting cast and S.H.I.E.L.D. higher-ups across the decades. This rescoped profile covers everything from her first appearance up to Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D..

B.J. Blazkowicz

(Profile #1 - Wolfenstein 3D)

So that's the version of B.J. Blazkowicz who is featured in the vintage Wolfenstein 3D video game - later (and earlier) versions would be a different profile. Super-elite World War Two commando. The profile includes game emulation rules. As of September of 2017, B.J. now has dauntless M&M stats.

The Shingouz

A triad of diminutive, talented alien spies who frequently sell intelligence to Valérian and Laureline. These are surprisingly popular minor characters, with snouts.

Velvet Templeton

A retro super-spy à la James Bond, but as an experienced lady rather than as an hairy-chested thug in a good suit. From the Image Comics Velvet series by Brubaker and Epting.

Iris Kalder the Imperial Agent

(Profile #1 - early)

Another example of a Star Wars: the Old Republic player character. It's our sample Imperial Agent, a spy and assassin for the Empire and the Sith... or perhaps not entirely. Deadly spy and field agent with her own agenda.

Black Widow

(Marvel Heroes 2015 video game version)

Black Widow (Natalia Romanova), but this time it's the version of the character in the Marvel Heroes 20XX Diablo-like video game. Her equipment is interesting.

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.

Lucky Campo

The pulpish super-competent hero from the Time Portal series of novels. Spoiler - these novels are about time travel. Our profile covers the first book in the series.

Shadow

(Matt Wagner's version)

This is specifically the version of The Shadow who appears in the excellent Year One miniseries by Matt Wagner.

Enchantress

(Amora of Asgard) (Profile #1 - the 1960s)

This is classic Thor/Avengers baddie the Enchantress as she was portrayed during the 1960s. A high-level villain with powerful magic, great resources, mighty servants, superior manipulative abilities, etc.

Honey Lemon

(Comic book version)

The comic book version of Honey Lemon. Japanese official agent with an arsenal of skills and endless equipment in her purse.

Fantomex

(Grant Morrison version)

This profile is specifically about Fantomex as written by Grant Morrison. Superhuman expert in misdirection, manipulation, combat and intelligence channelling several classic European anti-heroes.
