Glottis

The literal speed demon from the classic Grim Fandango adventure game. Friendly driver and superhuman mechanic. As of July 2021, I realised that the stats had been accidentally deleted. They're now back.

Ténébrax

A goofy, pulps-style underground villain. From a 1964/65 French comics serial. Master of a rats-crewed, drugs-pushing subway empire.

Sacrifice

(Evangeline M'Baré)

A young super-heroine from Wakanda, with budding mutant magic. She was a Player Character in an early 1990s MSH campaign, because I like being 25 years early to the party. As of April of 2021, this profile has received Panther-blessed portraits.

Sahara Jackson, agent of the Division

A sample field agent of The Division, as a window into the setting of the first Tom Clancy's The Division shooter video game by Ubisoft. Hard-arsed Beta Israel navy commando who thinks this whole thing is a load of drek. As of April of 2021, added a test reel after trying the MetaHuman Creator technology to sculpt a better character model.

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.

Inspector Romane Pennac

A determined detective in a post-climate-change, post-war future.

Leila Taylor

Nighthawk

(Raymond Kane) (David Walker take)

Nighthawk (Raymond Kane, formerly Kyle Richmond), the Batman-like sole survivor from a destroyed alternate reality. This profile focuses on the material written by David Walker, who made this Nighthawk more than "Batman, but Black".

Skorpio

(Dr. Sam Ellis)

An enemy of Steel (John Henry Irons), mostly seen during the 1990s. An ER doctor who moonlights as an assassin.

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.

Nails

(Joanie Eaton)

S.H.I.E.L.D. bare-handed fighting expert agent. As of October of 2020, we decided to buff this profile with M&M stats to make it punchier.

Agent Tia Senyaka

(S.H.I.E.L.D.)

Another agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., mostly for those Marvel Universe campaigns where S.H.I.E.L.D. plays an important role. More of a technical type, but fairly senior.

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.

(Part #1 - the 1970s)

Misty as she appeared during the 1970s, back when she was an Iron Fist supporting character. As of July of 2018, this profile was entirely redone. As of Juneteenth of 2020, added tough Mutants & Masterminds game stats and further improved readability.

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.

Syonide

(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.

Oryx

A very very tall fighter and agent, blatantly based on Kareem Abdul Jabar in Game of Death. We couldn't resist, obviously. As of April of 2020, this entry received a texts and illustrations review. Plus a tall glass of Mutants & Masterminds stats.

Dolores & Juan Muerto

Obscure 1970 enemies of the Batman. And among the oddly few Mexican characters in the DCU. Aristocratic Gothic Horror crime lords who are sort of immortal.

Dakota Jones

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

Enforcer

(Charles Delazny)

An interesting but incoherent enemy of the Ghost Rider and Spider-Woman. During the 1970s, he seemingly specialised in hunting down supernaturals. As of March of 2020, this profile was iced then entirely redone.
