This 'blog' was an echo of the update messages for Writeups.org. This existed during a site overhaul where not everything was correctly searchable - as search engines needed to rebuild their indices.
It still exists, for no special reason. Nostalgia, maybe. Inertia.

My writeups.org time has gone from feast to famine, so here is a size S batch that includes everything me and Adam have finished - because the Spice must flow ! Note that further volunteers willing to detour small batches of images (say, 3 or 4) are, like, totally welcome. Half-sized roll call:

• ART. REZcat provided new art for two Champions characters:
  
  
  • Ankylosaur
    
  • Foxbat
  
  
  
• The three main characters of Project A-ko are now online, thanks to Pufnstuff - B-Ko (Biko Daitokuji) and A-Ko. And yes, that's three since C-ko (Shiiko Kotobuki) gets her own section in A-Ko's entry.
  
  
• We also have a few minor villains from the StormWatch - PHD miniseries ; those guys got an a nice, generic feel and can be used as-is in a majority of campaigns. In this batch:
  
  
  • Amadeus, a Sonic Beam villain
    
  • Cooler, a Ice Production villain
  
  
  
• After a lot of conversation we now have a writeup for Beck - Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson's character in the movie The Rundown. We had two choices, you see - Option A and Option B.
  
  
• Marvel's second Cobra, who appeared in the most recent White Tiger miniseries.
  
  
• More Champions characters as adapted by REZcat. In this batch:
  
  
  • Black Paladin, the very evil knight
    
  • Defender, the heroic version of Iron Man
    
  • Red Rapier, the evil swashbuckler
    
  • Ripper, a brick
  
  
  
• A long-awaited writeup that went through strange peregrinations - Captain Marvel I (Mar-Vell), by Pufnstuff
  
  
• UPDATES AND REWRITES. Tons of those are incoming, but I could only cram one in for this batch. But it's a big one, and a classic Marvel villain too - we have a huge and thoroughly rewritten entry for Doctor Faustus !
  
  
• Roy is continuing to write the Force of July, which involves reading some really dismal material so you guys don't have to. In this batch, we have Silent Majority.
  
  
• Furthermore, various fixes have been done which had been inexplicably missed before - for Marvel Boy (Noh-Varr), Photon (the one in Force) and Rocket Racer. Fixes for
  Deadly Nightshade and the Elements of Doom will also be done soon-ish if all goes well.
  

Current number of entries is 3710. Yay !

Fixed a number of issues signaled by the doughty members of the WORG Patrol:

• The real names of all Supremacists have been added (those were
  revealed in the second volume of the Marvel Atlas)
  
  
• Typo corrected in Eagle quote, Frank added as helper
  
  
• Ultimus has not been fixed despite Chris's excellent remark,
  because... I'm not sure what I intended to do. He will be v2ed shortly
  (Ultimus, not Chris).
  
  
• Commander B. Crusher's erroneous Subskill fixed, KalEl added as helper
  
  
• Cyborg's location is now Jump City and not 'the city'
  
  
• Firestorm I (Raymond/Stein version) - typo fixed, energy blasts
  clarified, KalEl ands Eric added as helpers
  
  
• Clarified a bit in the Corruptor's history, Chris added as a helper
  
  
• Typo fixed in the description of Harry Leland's powers, Ethan added
  as helper
  
  
• Storm is now small-m married, has the Connections discussed in late
  2007, Eric and Michael added as helpers, and I've fixed her list of
  Known Relatives.
  
  
• I haven't acted yet on Capita_Senyera's good points about Marrina
  and heather Hudson - since the entirety of AF has to be rewritten (I
  think AF were the very first writeups I published on the list around
  1995). Can't put them on my dance card right now, though.
  
  
• Chroma's shapeshifting has been clarified ; KalEl added as helper
  
  
• Mad Peter Quick's van fixed. Good thing KalEl is fast !
  
  
• Capita_Senyera added to the Helpers list for Mirage (Valkyrie period)
  
  
• Count Nefaria's MPI corrected, Azrael added as a helper
  
  
• First fixes added to Darkstar, Pufnstuff and Capita_Senyera as helpers
  
  

Thanks to the community for bringing up those points.

An interesting batch, as it turns out - I'd be surprised if there are
many people who cannot find therein at least two or three characters
of use for their campaign. Roll call:

• ART. The new art for this batch is art for recent entries that
  went without illustrations for a few days due to the pace of the
  batches:
  
  
  • Cartessian
    
  • Claw the Unconquered
    
  • Johnny Redbeard I and II
  
  
  
• A new Pre-Crisis Legion of Super-Heroes entry by Chris ! Of
  course, Animal Lad doesn't exactly have earth-shuddering star power,
  but he's far from alone in that respect on WORG, and it's a neat entry.
  
  
• 1963. From this great retro series of comic, this time we
  have the key characters from the Fury faux 1960s comic book:
  
  
  • The Fury himself, of course, a sort of Spider-Man/Daredevil guy
    
  • Voidoid, one of the main guys on his imaginary villains gallery
    
  • Warbeast, the intelligent telepathic mutant killer tyrannosaur
    who killed the dinosaurs
  
  
  
• A new instalment in the cold war that is writing up the second
  Black Widow (Natalia Alianovna Romanova). You thought it would never
  actually come, right ? In this batch you'll find her entry from the
  1980s, starting when the previous writeup ended and ending when she
  joins the Avengers full time.
  
  
• LARSENVERSE. Even more minor and somewhat weird villains from
  Peter's research ! Hurray ! Roll call:
  
  
  • Bodycount, a literal gunman
    
  • Chaos and Control, an odd pair of villainous freaks
  
  
  
• Technically, the huge entry for the Gremlin III (son of the
  Gargoyle, fought Hulk, worked with Rom the Spaceknight and the Soviet
  Super Soldiers) is a rewrite since there used to be a version on the
  first generation of our online archives, but since few people alive
  read the v1... Anyway, he's a very interesting outcast genius boy, so
  geeks love him.
  
  
• Along with the Gremlin comes his pet, the aptly-named Droog. What
  could be better than a giant orange mutant triceratops who talks in
  rhymes and is about as strong as the Hulk ? 'Nothing", would say the
  Gremlin, and that's why he created Droog to be his pet.
  
  
• UPDATES AND REWRITES. In this batch:
  
  
  • I've added further material to the Black Widow - the KGB years
    writeup since I realised that I had forgotten to include the semi-
    recent flashback about the weeks she shared with the Winter Soldier
    ('Bucky' Barnes) during her time with the Red Room. Then I made
    further clarifications to the History section of the writeup as I
    realised the previous changes made the chronology confusing. Then I
    had to add some material to Ivan Petrovitch's writeup, since the
    retcons make his role in raising Natalia... complicated. Sigh. :-)
    
  • Small changes have been made to the Fer-de-Lance writeup, our
    famous Animals File, and the entry for Bonk (of the Jokerz)
    
  • Blastaar has been entirely rewritten and now gets a mammoth
    writeup... FOR POWER IS BLASTAAR !! A quite powerful and entertaining
    villain, he was worth re-researching. Now all we need is to publicise
    our initiative for the "Talk Like Blastaar Day"... FOR THE UNMATCHED
    POWER OF BLASTAAR CAN LEVEL MOUNTAINS WITH BUT A GESTURE !
    
  • Steeplejack I has been entirely rewritten
    
  • Steeplejack II has been entirely rewritten, for our mission is
    to rewrite steeplejacks. Entirely.
  
  
  
• From a classic Belgian adventure comics of the 1970s (people seem
  to like this stuff) - the Human Ants from the Sixth Continent. *I*
  think it's cool.
  
  
• BLACK LAGOON. This batch has two entries instead of the
  usual one:
  
  
  • Roberta the maid
    
  • Rotton the Wizard
  
  
  
• Kirigi, the supernatural giant killer ninja from the classic
  Daredevil era by Miller, simply had to be on WORG - it is now
  done. Shi kin hara mitsu dai ko myo, as I always say.
  
  
• HEROES. Two more entries for key characters have been
  deemed finished for now:
  
  
  • Hiro Nakamura
    
  • Peter Petrelli
  
  
  
• Djinn, a PC from Kal El's Global Guardians campaign
  
  
• Her come the rest of the Jokerz street gang, as written up by Tom
  and found in the Batman Beyond animation series. Now you've got
  the full set, with:
  
  
  • Chucko
    
  • The Dee Dee twins (twinz ?)
    
  • Woof
  
  
  
• Starblaze, a PC from Kal El's Patrulla Barna campaign
  
  

Current number of entries is 3698. Maybe I should have done two more !

More random stuff. As it turns out, there is a high proportion of characters that strike me as being useful in many many campaigns for GMs. In other terms, a bunch of obscure villains you can use pretty much anywhere, and of characters who come with a built-in adventure scenario.

Also, there is a ton of new art. Wasn't easy.

Roll call:

• ART. New art (both banner art and/or column art) for the following guys ; also see the updates and rewrites, since those always come with new art.
  
  
  • Inque (from Batman Beyond)
    
  • Garbo
    
  • Hawkeye (again)
    
  • Loki
    
  • Mace (Larsenverse - the former Young Tough)
    
  • Mack the Knife
    
  • Punisher II (Frank Castle)
    
  • Rick Jones
    
  • Scarlet Witch
    
  • Silver Surfer
    
  • Stupor
    
  • War Machine
    
  • Daredevil
    
  • Doctor Octopus
    
  • Green Goblin I (Normal Osborne)
    
  • Human Torch II (Johnny Storm)
    
  • Lizard
    
  • Marvel Boy VI
    
  • Mysterio I
    
  • Rhino
    
  • Spider-Man
    
  • The Thing (Ben's Classic and Modern writeups)
    
  • Venom I
    
  • Vulture I
    
  • Blade (movie version)
    
  • Bullseye
    
  • Captain Marvel (DC's mightiest mortal)
    
  • Catwoman
    
  • Captain Marvel Jr. (CM3)
    
  • Cosmic Boy (pre-Crisis entry)
    
  • Deathlok III
    
  • Doctor Strange
    
  • Frog-Man II (sorry)
    
  • Ghost Rider I (current)
    
  • Ant-Man I / Giant-Man I (early)
    
  • Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)
    
  • Grifter
    
  • Hawkman (Kingdom Come version)
    
  • Hyperion
    
  • Iron Man (grey/golden armour)
    
  • Johnny Thunder I
    
  • Joker (Tangent continuity)
    
  • Martian Manhunter
    
  • Motorhead
    
  • Shang-Chi
    
  • Starman VII
    
  • Supergirl (1980s)
    
  • Superwoman (Wells)
    
  • John Law (formerly the Tarantula II)
    
  • Thunderbolt (Peter Cannon)
    
  • Ultra-Boy (post-reboot entry)
    
  • USAgent
    
  • The Vortex
  
  
  
• Here come all the Marvel characters named Atom-Smasher - Atom-Smasher I is an obscure 1970s opponent of the Black Goliath, Atom-Smasher II is his brother and had henchmen with Robotron mechas (yay !), and Atom-Smasher III is an unrelated but powerful anti-nuclear activist and terrorist from the 1990s.
  
  
• It's been a long time since the last one - so here comes Cartessian, another character generated to test Kal El el Vigilante's random character generator
  
  
• One Black Lagoon writeup by Tom per batch is apparently the standard ; this time it's deadly yakuza swordsman Ginji Matsuzaki.
  
  
• Some batches also have one weird 1940s character - this one is Terdu, perhaps best known (well, relatively speaking) for being the boss of the very first Masters of Evil in what will become the Marvel Universe
  
  
• LARSENVERSE. Continuing Peter's arc, this time we got :
  
  
  • Arachnid - a minor villain
    
  • Johnny Redbeard I and II - empowerers of minor villains !
    
  • Rudehead who is (you'll never guess !) a minor villain
  
  
  
• As you may have noticed we like old, oddball characters so here comes Peter's article on one of those half-forgotten comic book barbarian warriors from an improbable heroic-fantasy world - Claw the Unconquered.
  
  
• Doctor Stein is part of our Rockworld series of home-made characters based on song titles and lyrics.
  
  
• John Coffey is part of Pufnstuff's work on the Stephen King Universe ; he's of course from The Green Mile.
  
  
• UPDATES AND REWRITES. We're still making the old and poor-quality stuff on WORG better - we've been at it for more than 12 years and some of the earliest material cannot match our current standards.
  
  
  • The recent White Tiger (Del Toro) entry, which the author felt was confusing in places, has been clarified by Roy.
    
  • Bushwacker has received a very thorough and extensive rewriting. This complex villain is a former priest, a former CIA agent, a hitman, a seducer, an homicidal maniac... and he's also a living gun. But he can also be used as just another street-level thug, though it's a waste, IMO.
    
  • Cottonmouth II, of the Serpent Society, is a much simpler villain but he has nevertheless been entirely redone since the old entry was unremarkable at best.
    
  • All of the members of the second S.H.I.E.L.D. Super-Agents (the ones from the 1990s) have been rewritten in a more accurate and engaging fashion ; this means:
    
    
    • Psi-Borg II
      
    • Violence
      
    • Knockabout
      
    • The last member, Ivory, is also there (though it's a brand-new entry and not a rewrite), completing the team
  
  
  
• Completing our existing Battlestar Galactica (the newer series) material by Mike, here comes the entry for generic Cylon centurions
  
  
• It has been a very long time since we've written something from the nigh-forgotten Milestone Universe (we like it, but who else even remembers about it ?) - so here comes very minor but tactically interesting villain Reprise. He's everywhere !
  
  
• Saboteur, a very minor but fairly useful Marvel Universe industrial... well, saboteur.
  
  
• Vulcan III, a semi-weird 1970s Marvel villain, also from the Black Goliath series, who can be easily expanded upon if you are looking for a baddie to personalise for your campaign
  
  
• PLANET DC. The end of the arc for now (the remaining character will likely be done later, especially Bushido), with:
  
  
  • Cachiru, an obscure bird-themed Argentine super-hero
    
  • Salamanca, an obscure Argentine sorceress and super-heroine (she and Cachiru are the only members of the Argentine group Super-Malon we know more than a few shreds of info about)
    
  • Istar is the best-developed planet DC character - with a JLA minseries revolving around her adventures. She's fairly interesting, and she's from Tunisia.
  
  
  
• Another character character from Kal Els current campaign set in Barcelona - Sagrado (the Sacred One)
  

Current number of entries is 3677.

More stuff, and this time around there are even some names people will recognise. Roll call:

• ART. New hi-res art for the following entries:
  
  
  • Black Widow I and Rockman (see "updates and rewrites" below)
    
  • Ivan Petrovitch Bezukov (see "updates and rewrites" below)
    
  • Moonstar (the writeup covering her Psyche era)
    
  • Ms. Marvel II (Sharon Ventura) (the early/first writeup)
    
  • Princess Python
    
  • Sunspot (classic era)
  
  
  
• Anna Wei, a Stark employee who is also a formidable hacker, engineer and Beautiful Kung Fu Chick(tm)
  
  
• Atlas, an obscure heroic fantasy character created by Jack Kirby
  
  
• The Confessor, a highly competent Russian assassin in the Marvel Universe
  
  
• A classic 1960s character by PAM - Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt !
  
  
• CHAMPIONS CHARACTERS. We now start our arc of Champions characters, adapted from the various editions of that landmark super-heroes RPG by REZcat. In this batch:
  
  
  • Buffalo
    
  • Demonfire
    
  • Green Dragon
    
  • Ogre
    
  • Rainbow Archer
  
  
  
• The Eagle, a patriotic crimebuster and war hero from the McCarthy era of the WildStorm Universe
  
  
• An adaptation of real-life Spanish double agent 'Garbo', by Kal El
  
  
• One of the big guns of the Marvel Universe -- the High Evolutionary, by Peter
  
  
• *Another* of the Marvel big guns by Peter -- Loki, God of Evil !
  
  
• UPDATES AND REWRITES. It has been a few batches without those, so:
  
  
  • The Danny Phantom writeup has been through a lot of additional work from the original author ; the results are now online
    
  • Black Widow II - the three writeups for Natasha on WORG have now been updated based on information in the two 2004-2005 Black Widow limited series. This chiefly means data about the whole Black Widow program, her childhood and teenage years, and the source of her Slowed Aging and other enhancements she never knew she had before then. There also have been minor changes as the fourth writeup in that series is being written
    
  • The writeup for Ivan Petrovitch has been slightly updated.
    
  • The crappy notes for Gladiatrix have now been replaced by a real writeup
    
  • The writeups for the first Black Widow and Rockman have received clarification notes, as well as illustrations, regarding the newer version of those characters in The Twelve
  
  
  
• One of Hal Jordan's girlfriends from way back then, the Gypsy psychic Kari Limbo
  
  
• Another character inspired by a song - Mack the Knife, by Kal El
  
  
• Yet another obscure 1940s Marvel/Timely universe -- the Master Mind, Excello ! With clarifications and illustrations re: The Twelve miniseries.
  
  
• GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY UNIVERSE. Final entries in Gareth's arc about that sub-universe within the Marvel Universe. If you just read 'em it's sad because it's over, but it you use 'em it's good because you finally have everyone !
  
  
  • Rancor
    
  • Sidestep, lieutenant to Rancor
    
  • Talon, of the Guardian of the Galaxy
  
  
  
• Joining our slowly-growing collection of combat robots, the redoubtable Mechagorgon, who once defeated Iron Fist
  
  
• Slowly continuing Tom's Black Lagoon arc - Sawyer the cleaner, a mute girl with a chainsaw.
  
  
• And finally, in the Marvel universe, here are Unicorn I and II. The first is a classic and tragic Iron Man villain, whose instability and complex alarums led to a rather big and detailed writeup ; the second is the far more obscure mutated madman who has been part of the Remont IV and Thunderbolts Army super-groups but wears the costume of the first Unicorn.

Current number of entries is 3657.

In a savage burst of randomness, a new batch arises ! And this time the pattern created by said randomness seems to be very minor/obscure villains. Which make sense, since we love those and they are arguably the most useful type of entry for GMs - they are ready do use !

So, after waaay too much time spent on Photoshop (again) - roll call:

• ART. New hi-res art for the following entries:
  
  
  • Dr. Henry Pym (his Ant-Man I / Giant-Man I entry)
    
  • Black Knight V (Dane Withman)
    
  • Black Panther (T'Challa)
    
  • Roy's entry on Captain America's gear ; the same illustrations also made it into Cap's main writeup
    
  • Darkhawk (early)
    
  • Dart (Larsenverse)
    
  • Forgotten One (aka Gilgamesh)
    
  • Captain Marvel III (Genis-Vell)
    
  • Grasshopper (Great Lakes Whatever)
    
  • Hawkeye I (Clint Barton)
    
  • Monstroid
    
  • Moon Knight
    
  • Proctor
    
  • Rage
    
  • Red Wolf (Will Talltrees)
    
  • Sandman (Marvel Universe)
    
  • Valentina (Darna's nemesis)
    
  • Wonder Man (classic writeup) ; the same illustration also made it into the main Beast (X-Men) writeup
    
  • Baron Zemo II / Citizen V
  
  
  
• A second dragon from Kal El's campaign - Akalandrazor
  
  
• While the Worgmeister loathes the 2006 version of Heroes for Hire, he wrote up a minor villain from that book - Insecticide
  
  
• Tejja the Silek Killer, possibly the first League of Assassins killer seen in the DC Universe ; he's of course an exotic martial arts specialist
  
  
• I also reviewed the characters and critters named 'Monstro' in the Marvel Universe. The two that emerged as writeup material are:
  
  
  • Monstro III, a very giant octopus from an old Cold War story (Monstro was written up shortly after the release of Cloverfield, amusingly)
    
  • Monstro V, a contemporary strongman on the run, and incidentally an interesting character
  
  
  
• The first excerpt from our Voltron (a 1980s giant robot cartoon) work by Pur_see_i8 - Lance, the pilot of the red lion robot
  
  
• Civafan was kind enough to write up Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson's character in the extensive music video for that tune, following a request
  
  
• Tigress III, formerly known as Artemis II, of the DC Universe's Injustice Society and Injustice Unlimited. She's the daughter of the second Tigress and the first Sportsmaster, and she turned out to be more interesting that anticipated before the research took place.
  
  
• More adventures in the realm of the foreign heroes features in the Planet DC annuals of 2000:
  
  
  • The third of the three DCU Mexican super-heroes we found in the DCU so far - Acrata
    
  • A Greek/Armenian super-assassin, who is both an ally and a foe for the JSA - the second Nemesis
    
  • The country of origin is now also indicated in the Notes field of the Planet DC (since that was the point of those Annuals)
  
  
  
• The Secbots who clashed with the X-Men within the Strategic Air Command's base are lighter versions of the Mandroid power armour, and are excellent for GMs who want thugs or soldiers in light power armour
  
  
• Another 'tough mook' writeup - the Shaolin Terror Priests, from the pages of the popular series Immortal Iron Fist, are cool-looking kung fu goons
  
  
• LARSENVERSE. Continuing Peter's varied arc through the work of Erik Larsen, we got:
  
  
  • Abner Cadaver, the evil zombie sorcerer supreme of the Larsenverse
    
  • A minor villain, Bad Axe
    
  • A minor (and rather faecal) villain, Dung
    
  • A minor (but very dangerous !) villain, Negate
    
  • A minor villain... ah, no, it's over, wait for the next batch ! :-)
  
  
  
• Another character from Tom's arc through the Black Lagoon manga and anime - the Russian mobster Balalaika
  
  
• From a minor DC limited series, a cool pistolera and desperada from northern Mexico - the bounty hunter Cinnamon II, patterning herself after the Old West lady avenger
  
  
• I've found an unpublished article for our 'wrestlingverse' writeups - about the Hart Dungeon
  
  
• GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY UNIVERSE. More of Gareth's work. This should be the next to last pack of writeups in that arc. Roll call:
  
  
  • Composite, from Inhuman Assassination Squad (turns out I had forgotten a few of them -- ooops). He has the powers of the entire XXth century Royal Inhuman Family !
    
  • Wormhole, a colleague of Composite
    
  • Martinex, one of the original Guardians of the Galaxy
    
  • Rhodney, one of Rancor's mutant lieutenants
    
  • Shaddo, a colleague of Rhodney
  
  
  
• Another of Chris's writeup about the Pre-Reboot (and usually Pre-Crisis) universe of the Legion of Super-Heroes - this time minor Legionnaire trainee Lamprey
  

Current number of entries is 3633.

Incredibly small batch ! Those are entirely small changes and addition in the Background blocks - exciting stuff such as real names and corrections to heights and weights ! All are based on the Civil War Companion TPB, so they only concern Marvel Universe characters. Also, I usually average height and weight when we produced an estimate before Marvel did - which should be more accurate.

Roll call: Smiling Tiger, Pretty Persuasions, Gladiatrix, Equinox, Ghostmaker, Lightbright, Shockwave, Blistik, Brother Nature, Exterminatrix, Lazarus, Man-eater.

I had a lil' bit of free time, so here we go. Due to the effect of
randomness it's full of really obscure and occasionally weird
characters, except for the cartoon version of Robin and (much more

tentatively) Joystick and Starhawk. Roll call of the unexpected:

• ART. New artwork has been added to the following entries:
  
  
  • Iron Man (grey armour)
    
  • Bane (with a very nice new shot)
    
  • Meglaro (the obscure LSH villain)
    
  • Black Cat (the 'middle' writeup - Black Cat (Superpowered)
    
  • Rick Jones
    
  • Drom the Backward Man
    
  • Ruby Thursday (she's cool)
    
  • Mirage I, the Spider-Man villain who's both obscure and ubiquitous !
    
  • Sif
    
  • Rocket Racer
    
  • Thor
    
  • Shado (the archer lady)
    
  • Wonder Man (the 'current' writeup)
    
  • Spider-Man
    
  • Jackdaw II (aka Blackbird)
  
  
  
• Al Bundy from Married With Children. Yep. Not a joke, not
  a dream, not an imaginary story.
  
  
• Gwangi, a dinosaur who fights cowboys in a 1960s movie. No, really.
  
  
• Joystick, a memorable and risk-craving Thunderbolts member
  
  
• SUPERNOVA. Two more characters from Kal El's campaign:
  
  
  • Barret Blanc
    
  • El Roc
  
  
  
• One Marvel Russian I forgot last time, which is odd since he's a
  key figure -- the electrical engineering genius Anton Vanko, also
  known as the first Crimson Dynamo.
  
  
• Two obscure superhuman agent/thug - Assault and Battery.
  
  
• A C-list WildStorm Jamaican thug and enforcer, Johnny Too Bad
  
  
• From time to time I do a 1940s character ; in this batch it is
  the first Marvel Boy
  
  
• HEAVY METTLE. This is an obscure group of enforcers, and fairly
  low-powered, so they can be fairly useful in many campaigns. The whole
  team is here:
  
  
  • Barracuda
    
  • Blackwing
    
  • Firestrike
    
  • Riot
    
  • Stronghold
    
  • Warbow
  
  
  
• A really tough zombie with a big badass magic bone sword - what's
  not to love ? Cadaver, from the Secret Defenders in the 90s at Marvel.
  
  
• Deliverance Drue, an obscure Solomon Kane analogue from the
  WildStorm Universe
  
  
• GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY UNIVERSE. Continuing Gareth's big arc,
  which is full of characters that could be useful anywhere:
  
  
  • Bubonicus, a big bad
    
  • Mindscan, one of Rancor's lieutenant
    
  • Protege, the super-powerful godling from the Universal Church of
    Truth
    
  • Ripjak, the Last Son or Mars
    
  • Starhawk, the most powerful Guardian
    
  • Stupor, the missing Inhuman Assassination Squad operative
  
  
  
• The animated version of Robin, by Pufnstuff
  
  
• Another Black Lagoon character - Claude 'Torch' Weaver
  
  
• Finally, Adam wrote up Darna's nemesis - Valentina the Serpent Queen
  

Current number of entries is 3608.

Be merry and find joy in even the dreariest of travails, for the new
batch is arrived !

As usual this batch took longer than I thought to prepare - the
overall quality level of the list's work keeps improving and that
means more, longer and more detailed texts, more reviewing, more
illustrations, a lot more banner illustrations, crisper detouring of
the main illustrations, etc. In short, more work. :-)

Roll call:

• ART. New artwork has been added to the following entries:
  
  
  • Aleta (Guardians of the Galaxy)
    
  • Charlie-27
    
  • Hawkeye
    
  • Powerhouse (Larsenverse)
    
  • The Red Skull
  
  
  
• UPDATES: Only one update this time around - Fahrenheit (Wildstorm
  Universe) got reviewed and updated to reflect the events of the
  StormWatch PHD miniseries, further extending an already extensive
  writeup.
  
  
• Agent 47, the protagonist of the Hitman video games, now
  has a very detailed entry by Roy
  
  
• Another character from Tom's writeups arc on the Black Lagoon anime is in - Benny, the hacker.
  
  
• MARVEL RUSSIANS. For some reason I forget, there was an arc about
  a few minor Russian (or at least ex-Soviet) characters in the Marvel
  Universe. In this batch:
  
  
  • Concussion, an energy-projecting mutant freedom fighter from
    Garnoff's underground
    
  • Firefox, a deadly and cybernetically armed one-man commando and
    mutant killer, now a merc
    
  • Iron Curtain, a superhumanly strong and tough colleague of
    Concussion
    
  • An intriguing figure from the Garnoff underground (and now the
    Winter Guard) - Sibercat (formerly Siberian Tiger)
    
  • Another interesting survivor from the Garnoff rairoad - Stencil
    
  
  
  
• Peter wrote up another post-apocalyptic character - this time it
  is Hombre, from the Segura and Ortiz comic book.
  
  
• Another entry from the New Frontier version of the DC Universe
  (the previous ones being the notes in the Cold War Suicide Squad
  entries) - 'John Henry', the hammer-wieldin' man who clashed with the
  Klu Klux Klan in Tennessee.
  
  
• Two more entries from Peter's arc through the Larsenverse, this
  time with two major characters:
  
  
  • Mighty Man
    
  • She-Dragon
  
  
  
• We did it ! Well, Gareth did it. The Marvel Universe's ELEMENTS
  OF DOOM are now online. Don't worry, we did not make 109 entries -
  just one mammoth entry with all of 'em. That took a lot of work to
  write, research, review, edit, illustrate, etc. so go ahead and use
  them in your campaign... but probably not all of them at once, though.
  
  
• We've got three more of the popular pre-Crisis Legion of Super-
  Heroes entries from Chris in this batch:
  
  
  • Meglaro, a very obscure XXXth century villain
    
  • Mentalla, a very minor but somewhat popular Legionnaire
    
  • Tellus, also a minor but popular Legionnaire with mental powers
    
  
  
  
• One of the chronological entries Puf wrote on Mirage (Danielle
  Moonstar) is now online ; this entry covers Danny as an Asgardian
  valkyrie.
  
  
• The most recent Marvel character named White Tiger - Angela
  DelToro. She's cool.
  
  
• GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY UNIVERSE. Another random grab from our
  files:
  
  
  • Malevolence (a descendent of the Mephisto)
    
  • Phobia (from the Inhuman Assassination Squad)
    
  • Replica, the Skrull member of the Guardians of the Galaxy
    
  • Vance Astro, leader of the Guardians
    
  • Yondu, a mainstay of the Guardians
    
  • The Spirit of Vengeance - the Ghost Rider of that era
  
  
  
• And finally - although I did not have time to rewrite the entry
  for Zaran, here is a full entry for Zaran II (Zhou Man She), pretty
  useful when you need some real tough kung fu muscle.

Current number of entries is 3582.

    a banner peekchur)
    
  • Greenback Jane
    
  • Green Lantern Beyond
    
  • Imagine (homemade character)
  
  
  
• REWRITES. Two of 'em, more or less:
  
  
  • The rewrite for this batch is the Flying Tiger, a convenient and
    somewhat obscure Marvel villain
    
  • Not a full rewrite, but Kal El's extensive Harry Potter writeup
    (philosopher Stone era) has been further detailed and discussed and
    improved - it's now version 2.5.
  
  
  
• Barrier, likely the most obscure member of the B-Team of Justin
  Hammer operatives
  
  
• Carcharo, an old opponent of Infinity, Inc. He's a vicious shark-
  man.
  
  
• Chroma, another Infinity Inc. encounter - the mysterious space
  alien type
  
  
• Another semi-obscure group of Marvel supervillains by Gareth,
  which should be useful in many campaigns. The galactic felons of
  Force, from the Guardians of the Galaxy subset of the Marvel
  Universe ! Roll call:
  
  
  • Brahl
    
  • Broadside
    
  • Eightyfive
    
  • The leader, Interface (who of course does not have the Interface
    Power)
    
  • Photon (not to be confused with the numerous other Marvel
    characters of that name)
    
  • Scanner
    
  • Tachyon
  
  
  
• The major superheroine in the Philippines - the legendary Darna,
  by Adam
  
  
• A since we're at it another Filipina character, the far less
  exalted Maritess. She's the much abused maid of the Super-Friends.
  
  
• Gort -- a big underground monster with lots of pointy teeth. He's
  dangerous.
  
  
• Another monster (but richly-illustrated so it's not a slab of
  text) writeup covers the Cold War incarnation of the Suicide Squad,
  with all their odd adventures full of space aliens, giant monsters,
  growing insects and dinosaurs (lots of dinosaurs). The four members
  are here:
  
  
  • Karin Grace
    
  • Dr Hugh Evans
    
  • Jess Bright
    
  • And of course Rick Flag Jr.
  
  
  
• The last batch had Larsenverse's Super-Tough, so this one has his
  former sidekick Young Tough, now called Mace.
  
  
• Continuing Peter's research in to the Larsenverse we also have a
  pair of fun thugs, the Rumble Brothers
  
  
• A homemade character by Peter, from an old campaign of his - Mad
  Peter Quick.
  
  
• A very minor but quite attaching DCU character - Mary Kramer, the
  best friend of the second Star-Spangled Kid in Blue Valley.
  
  
• Paintball, a minor but kinda fun opponent of the second Star-
  Spangled Kid
  
  
• And one last Star-Spangled Kid II-related character -- Shiv I,
  IMO a very interesting villain
  
  
• The Seven Soldiers arc may be over, but we have more Grant
  Morrison stuff -- this batch has Officer Ned Slade, from the
  miniseries The Filth
  
  
• More Black Lagoon manga and anime material from Tom, this
  time with Shenhua
  
  
  

The head count is now 3546 entries. We're getting there.

I'm not going to catch up with the backlog, but I can try...
Apparently this one's theme is "chiefly street-level people" -- the
joys of randomness, I guess.

• ART. There is a Flash site at http://www.hyperborea.org/flash/,
  and they have among other good content some excellent detoured
  illustrations (go visit them !) ; I've borrowed those for the
  characters we also have, since this type of site has an history of
  disappearing. The characters with new cool art are thus:
  
  
  • Cicada
    
  • Double Down
    
  • Folded Man
    
  • Girder
    
  • Heat Wave
    
  • Magenta
    
  • Mirror Master III
    
  • Murmur

  • Storm
    
  • Star Boy (post-reboot)

  Blood of Heroes game

  gang from the Batman Beyond cartoon:
  
  
  • Bonk
    
  • Ghoul
    
  • Terminal
  
  
  
• Eden McCain from the TV series Heroes, with the power of
  persuasion
  
  
• The famous Lucky Luke, the fastest man in the Old West, is now in.
  
  
• A one-shot arc about a series of Big Jim action figures from the
  1970s, the P.A.C.K.:
  
  
  • Doctor Steel
    
  • Torpedo
    
  • Warpath
    
  • Whip
  
  
  
• The Exterminatrix -- the ally of the Kree version of Marvel Boy
  
  
• One of the lesser members of the Johnny Sorrow version of the
  Injustice Society -- Geomancer
  
  
• The next-to-last instalment of our very big Morrison's Seven
  Soldiers arc:
  
  
  • The Hand aka the Iron Hand. He once nearly crushed the Earth,
    you know.
    
  • Misty Kilgore, Zatanna's apprentice (and the Queen of the Last
    Age of Man)

• The Homeless Avenger, an old antagonist of the second Vigilante

  • Nadia Santos
  
  
  
• Continuing Tom's profiles of Final Fantasy characters, here comes
  a favourite - Lulu.

  the Top

We know have 3495 entries online.

In this batch:

• ART. The image refreshing project is about 2/3 of the way
  through. Images that looked faded, washed out, etc. are now more
  vibrant, images that were blurry or smudgy are now sharper, hue
  saturations or (more commonly desaturations) have been dealt with,
  images looking too cold for the subject now look warmer, etc, I don't
  expect anybody to notice this (unless one holds the 'before' and
  'after' images next to each other), so it boils down to the site now
  having prettier and more engaging images. Of course, not all the old
  stuff can be made better that way.
  
  
• NEW ART. Just a few:
  
  
  • Ariadna from the Patrulla Barna.
    
  • Bombolla (same)
    
  • Timber Wolf (pre-Crisis)
    
  • Wildfire (pre-Crisis)
  
  
  
• 'Mace' Samuels, a minor NPC from L.A.
  
  
• Silver Dagger, a classic and rather interesting Doctor Strange
  enemy
  
  
• The Seven Soldiers (Grant Morrison version) writeups continue
  trickling in, so as not to overwhelm readers with the coolness. In
  this batch:
  
  
  • The Bulleteer
    
  • Ebeneezer Badde
    
  • Frankenstein
    
  • The Leviathan that was encountered in the sewers of NYC
  
  
  
• A Mexican hero in the DCU - El Muerto
  
  
• A gang of magical mummy soldiers -- the Sons of Anubis who fought
  the JLA
  
  
• UPDATED CONTENT. The rewriting of entries that no longer met
  quality standards continue ; this time:
  
  
  • Mark Scarlotti (the first Whiplash, as well as the first
    Blacklash) is now very thoroughly covered in three writeups (in
    chronological order Whiplash I (early), Blacklash I, and Whiplash I
    (late)).
    
  • Blackwing I (Joey Silvermane) has been entirely redone
    
  • Ivan the gunman, secretly one of the key charcaters of the
    Marvel Universe - redone
    
  • His former colleague Shellshock, also a minor villain with a
    special weapon - redone
    
  • Levy and Rock of Black Lagoon have been upversioned
  
  
  
• The much-awaited Kim Possible writeup (sixth iteration) is now
  online.
  
  
• A new entry for the Ultimates -- the mighty Thor !!
  
  
• This batch marks the beginning of the Alias (the TV
  series, not the comic book) arc by Gareth. This batch has:
  
  
  • Anna Espinosa
    
  • Arvin Sloane
    
  • Julian Sark
    
  • Rachel Gibson
  
  
  
• The Ninja Mimes who tried to kill Grimjack
  
  
• Two more characters from Kal El's Spanish campaign:
  
  
  • Mascara (the Masked Lady)
    
  • Pyremus Heraklyon, a great dragon

Headcount is but 3470, given the number of upgrades.

It's been a long time coming, but the new batch is finally here before
the end of the year. Roll call:

• NEW ART. People enjoying the pretty peekchurs will find new and/
  or improved illustrations for the following entries:
  
  
  • Demogoblin
    
  • Carrion I
    
  • Doctor Octopus I
    
  • Gibbon I
    
  • Wonder Man (classic era)
    
  • Wolverine
    
  • Rocket Racer
    
  • Dream Girl (pre-Crisis)
    
  • Colossal Boy (pre-Crisis)
    
  • Carnage
    
  • Rhino
    
  • Vulture I (Toomes)
    
  • Thundra
    
  • Tarantula II (Rodriguez)
    
  • Morbius (early/classic writeup)
    
  • Lizard
    
  • Kraven
    
  • Answer
  
  
  
• The lengthiest entry for this batch is probably the full profile
  of Aztek, an excellent but short-lived hero brought to the DCU by
  Grant Morrison. He's pretty spiffy.
  
  
• This batch also includes two more Aztek villains, or rather, a
  couple of heroes tragically fallen into bitter villainy - Bloodtype
  (formerly Mr. America) and Death Doll (formerly Liberty Lass).
  
  
• A timeline has been added for Kal El's campaign Patrulla Barna
  
  
• The rewrite for Nomad III (Jack Monroe) has started, though this
  is pretty hard to predict when it will be finished. The old writeup is
  still available, and there are two new, very detailed ones:
  
  
  • Jack as Bucky III (both in the 1950s and in the 1970s)
    
  • Jack during his early Nomad career (before he started using
    firearms)
  
  
  
• Here are further writeups from Peter's research into the
  Larsenverse. In this batch:
  
  
  • Cutthroat
    
  • Cyberface
    
  • Mako
    
  • Powerhouse, the superman with the head of a chicken
  
  
  
• A home-brewed character; Death Hunter by Lord Jobe
  
  
• A triad of very old writeups for Doctor Who - the Fourth
  regeneration, the Eighth Regeneration and a 'generic' writeup. Those
  writeups are so ancient they no longer meet our quality requirements,
  but since people keep requesting them to be reposted and we're not
  going to rewrite them any time soon, they're in after all.
  
  
• This batch also has more of those really, really cool characters
  from Grant Morison's Seven Soldiers meta-series. Namely:
  
  
  • Don Vincenzo the Undying Don (formerly Kid Scarface)
    
  • Mister Melmoth, one of the key villains of the story
    
  • Sally Sonic, another tragically fallen heroine (lots of those
    from Grant M. in this batch)
  
  
  
• From Pufnstuff's work on the Stephen King Universe, here is an
  entry for the young Firestarter.
  
  
• A classic Marvel villain finally got a full, quite detailed
  writeup (and thus a complete rewrite from the previous entry): the
  second Gladiator, Melvin Potter ! This entry also fixes a grave issue
  - for some reason, all the Gladiator II profiles I ever saw had a
  terrible picture. Well, *ours* has a really cool leading illustration..
  
  
• Another Marvel bad guy who got a complete overhaul since his
  existing entry no longer matched quality standards - the second
  Silencer.
  
  
• We don't have an entry for Earth-616's Janet van Dyne yet, so
  here are three other Wasps to compensate:
  
  
  • The Golden Wasp, an early enemy of Wildcat from the 1940s
    
  • The Killer Wasp, an enemy of wildcat and the JSA in the 2000s
    
  • The Wasp, but from the Ultimate Universe
  
  
  
• Speaking of the Ultimates, this batch also has an entry for two
  more - Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch !
  
  
• Speaking of the Scarlet Witch, this batch includes an entry for
  the Wanda of Earth-616. Since this is one of those very complete
  writeups, it only covers her early career ; more to come, err, later.
  
  
• Remember our Tommy Vercetti (the main character from the Grand
  Theft Auto - Vice City videogame) writeup ? Well, the second half
  is here ! Covering Tommy in his career as a full-fledged drugs lord.
  
  

And that's all the content for now. Current number of entries is
3452.

I'm not supposed to have time for this, but this batch is just so
full of genuinely cool stuff it was impossible to delay it further.
Roll call:

• Some of Gareth's work had been accidentally missed for
  publication, which deprived our Faithful Readers of the full roster
  of two mid-level, obscure groups of super-villains - a rather useful
  resource in most campaigns. Here's the lacking material:
  
  
  • An illustration for Rik of the Gatherers
    
  • Tarkas, the missing Gatherer
    
  • Hungyr, the missing member of the Supremacists
  
  
  
• Blackstarr, a powerful and somewhat odd DC Universe villainess.
  Who may or may not be able to repel galaxies, and may or may not have
  survived the Crisis. In some ways she is DC's equivalent of Molecule
  Man.
  
  
• Another obscure character from the rich past of the DC Universe
  - Morgana the Witch. This chaotic, bellicose powerhouse almost had
  her own series at one point.
  
  
• Sai, a mercenary martial arts weirdo from the Marvel Universe.
  We got a lot of those.
  
  
• This batch includes more material from Morisson's fascinating
  Seven Soldiers meta-series. This time you'll be treated to
  the mysteries of:
  
  
  • Ali Ka-Zoom, once the Merlin Of the Ghetto, now deceased but
    watchful
    
  • Big Ed, the mysterious publisher of New York City broadsheet
    the Manhattan Guardian
    
  • His best-known employee, the professional super-hero and one-
    man-riot-squad reporter, the Manhattan Guardian
    
  • The deadliest killer in the employ of rogue wetwork agency
    S.H.A.D.E. -- the Bride of Frankenstein !
    
  • Her boss, the devious and manic Father Time
    
  • Gimmix, a strictly small-time and neurotic super-heroine and
    Pemberton fortune inheritor - but with an odd touch of class of her
    own
  
  
  
• Slowly continuing entries for characters from the Invincible universe -- Bulletproof
  
  
• Another entry from the somewhat odd continuity of What If
  Stan Lee Had Invented the DC Universe" - this time with a
  parallel universe version of Catwoman. Different but still very
  dangerous.
  
  
• Donovan Flint, the he-man hero from the 1970s space opera
  stories of the Starhunters. Now definitely a blast from the past.
  
  
• Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension and mystic quasi-
  principality - as well as one of the key Doctor Strange villains
  
  
• The mythical Judge Anderson, Psi Division, has finally migrated
  from the old version of writeups.org
  
  
• Lion-O - of the Thundercats, obviously
  
  
• The first of our entries for Danielle Moonstar (most famously of
  the New Mutants), concentrating on the early era during which she was
  known as Psyche
  
  
• Omega - the mega-powerful opponent of the pre-Crisis Legion of
  Super-Heroes. Omega is the sum total of all the hatred in the universe !
  
  
• Another powerful classic villain - Moira McTaggart's son,
  Proteus (aka "Mutant X"), a vintage X-Men opponent more recently seen
  in the pages of the Exiles
  
  
• In order to continue to bring in more JSA-related content, this
  batch includes two rather large writeups:
  
  
  • S.T.R.I.P.E. (Pat Dugan) has been entirely rewritten (and
    should be further detailed with Infinity Inc. content at a later point)
    
  • His stepdaughter Courtney, who became the second Star-Spangled
    Kid as well as a major source of adolescent trouble
  
  
  
  
• Tony Stark - this time it's the version from the animated Iron
  Man movie
  
  
• Another entry based on classic rock tunes - this time it's the
  Trooper, of Iron Maiden fame
  
  
• Finally, Ursa Major has been entirely rewritten since we were
  not happy with the existing writeup. It's now rather big and
  detailed.

That's 3427 entries.

  • El Diablo
    
  • The Ant
  
  
  
• Maco, from Mike's Wink World campaign

  confused with Sol, from Kal El's random character generator, who is
  also in this batch
  
  
• Steel Wind, a classic Ghost Rider enemy
  
  
• Valfadir, a PC from Kal-El's campaign, has been upgraded

This here batch is a snapshot of the most recent completed writeup at the time it was assembled (though some old stuff managed to get in by virtue of being republished at just that moment). I chose to do this at one point where a lot of DC villains were being published, for people who grumble they don't even have 350 DCU villains to chose from on that stupid site. Roll call:

• ART. Not much (got tired) - one new shot for Zoom II, and Superman Beyond (the homemade version) now has a nice illustration.
  
  
• Two of the missing Strikeforce Morituri heroes:
  
  
  • Adept
    
  • Marathon
  
  
  
• Most of the aforementioned DCU villains are from various versions of the Cadre. The following are the neo-Nazi militia called the Aryan Nation, that was also part of the Judgement Day version of the Cadre:
  
  
  • Backlash
    
  • Blind Faith
    
  • Golden Eagle II
    
  • Heatmonger
    
  • Iron Cross
  
  
  
• The original, 1980s Cadre is now here, too. Like the Aryan Nation, those villains are just the right level for a big brawl in many campaign:
  
  
  • Black Mass
    
  • Crowbar
    
    
  • Fastball
    
  • Nightfall
    
  • Shatterfist I
    
  • Shatterfist II
    
  • Shrike III
    
  • Starshrike
  
  
  
• The famous inept barbarian, Groo.
  
  
• The first two entries for the Force of July quasi-governmental team, which happens to be a big bunch of bullies and fanatics:
  
  
  • Major Victory (I and II)
    
  • Sparkler (I)
  
  
  
• The Master Mold, the original mutant-hunting uber-Sentinel in the Marvel Universe
  
  
• The world-famous Monkey King, as seen in Chinese epic Journey to the West
  
  
• Morgg, a giant DCU henchman who happens to be immune to magic
  
  
• The pre-Crisis Legion entries being pretty popular, here comes another big one for... Phantom Girl! With a super-cute illustration to boot.
  
  
• T-Bag from Prison Break
  
  
• Our first entry for the famous Tommy Vercetti, of Grand Theft Auto fame
  
  
• Zeek, the strongest person there is in the Larsenverse

Let me check... 3376 entries now, we'll break 3400 by the next one.

07/06/2007

Another somewhat random array, though with generally much bigger
names than the previous random picks. Roll call:

• ART. Not much this time, I don't have the time, so mostly late
  submissions. New and/or improved art for:
  
  
  • Vigilante II (Adrian Chase)
    
  • Captain Nemo (LXG comics)
    
  • Mystelor (Taurus Gang)
    
  • Shagrek (Taurus Gang)
    
  • Mister Popo (Dragonball Z)

• Azalin, a lich-king from the Raveloft AD&D setting
  
  
• Cyborg, from the cartoon version of the Teen Titans
  
  
• The Dark Messiah and his disciples, an old Moondragon-created
  Daredevil villain - during the San Francisco era
  
  
• HK-47 -- no, not that one, a homebrewed character
  
  
• The Lizard King, one of the most dangerous enemies Aztek met
  during his brief career
  
  
• The "Junk Cyborgs", two servants of the Lizard King
  
  
• Notes for Miss Victory, the chief Femforce character
  
  
• Mister Gargoyle, one of those terrible old Wonder Woman villains
  from just before the mod karate era
  
  
• Mysterio - a classic Spider-Man villain
  
  
• The fascinating Nemesis III, the Spirit of Retribution seen
  through several eras of Alpha Flight adventures. I say "era" a lot,
  today. Era.
  
  
• Nicholas Wolfwood from Trigun. His cross is full of mercy.
  
  
• JC Roque, which I think is the last of the Losers (2000s version)
  
  
• Two of the missing magical sailor girls:
  
  
  • Sailor Jupiter
    
  • Sailor Venus
  
  
  
• The Scarlet Mask, a random artefact from a thoroughly obscure
  Boris Karloff comic book
  
  
• Scripture, the Teragen guy, and thus a conversion from
  Aberrant
  
  
• S T R I P E from the JSA -- formerly Stripesy, aka Pat Dugan
  
  
• More Superman goodness. This time:
  
  
  • Superman as he was in 1942
    
  • Superman from Earth-1, on a PRE-CRISIS POWER SCALE
    
  • "Superman Beyond", created by Puf on the template of the
    Batman Beyond cartoon
  
  
  
• The fourth Whip -- a forerunner of a batch full of Seven
  Soldiers (Grant Morrisson's 2005 version) that will come, hmmm, at
  some point
  
  
• Notes about Zeitgeist -- the one from the Special Executive
  
  
• Zoom II, from the DC Universe.

So that's 3351 entries by now ; the next batch will probably take
recent work rather than diving deep into the past.

Another dump from our archives, ranging from the cool to the useful
to the bizarre. For some reason this one went down real fast -- I had
more help and there was less stuff to detour, I guess. Roll call:

• ART. The following entries get new and/or better art:
  
  
  • Antithesis (the DCU one)
    
  • Fury I (the DCU one, too)
    
  • Manhunter I
    
  • NIL-8 (the previous illo was a ugly coffee smudge, basically)
    
  • Big Wheel
    
  • Cyclone I (sacrebleu !)
    
  • Multi-Man
    
  • Mina Harker
    
  • Catwoman
    
    
  • Doctor Strange
    
  • Invisible Man (the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen one). He
    didn't have an illo before. Why ? Because he's invisible. Duh.
    
  • Massacre
    
  • The Gargoyle (the DCU one)
    
  • The Dalek and the Cybermen have got back the photos they had in
    the old database (and get to keep the new stuff, of course)
  
  
  
• The Afro Samurai. He's a samurai. He wears an afro. Really. From
  a Spike TV anime.
  
  
• The first two characters from Final Fantasy X -- meet Auron the
  ronin and Rikku the thief.
  
  
• Some very, very small-time super-mercenaries from the DCU, for
  low-level enounters - Dial V for Villains. Roll call:
  
  
  • Awol
    
  • Bloodhound
    
  • Deathgrip
    
  • Tattoo
  
  
  
• Count Magnus Lee, the very powerful vampire foe of Vampire Hunter D
  
  
• One of the Great Lakes Whatever that was missing - Doorman. In
  fact we might be done with them. I'll have to check.
  
  
• Freak, another product of Kal El's random generator
  
  
• Fred -- like Shaggy, this is an 'alternate future' version of
  the Scooby Doo character.
  
  
• Hawkman -- Mike's homebrew version from his Wink World
  
  
• The Impossible Man, one of Marvel's least tolerable characters
  
  
• Liomane, an invulnerable Chinese modern-day pirate and colonel
  with a neat costume
  
  
• Major Fraiser - continuing our Stargate:SG1 characters
  writeups
  
  
• Man-Bot, continuing our Freedom Force video game writeups
  
  
• The Mangler II, a brutal, bestial wrestler who's also a thug.
  Any campaign need those, right ? Right ?
  
  
• Necromancer -- the eeeeviiilll version of Dr Strange on Counter-
  Earth
  
  
• Spear, an old Luke Cage villain with a spear launcher. Actually
  he's kinda cool.
  
  
• Another Young Avenger -- Speed. You'll never guess what his
  power is !
  
  
• Spirit Guardian, a ghost from the Miracles TV series
  
  
• Sporty Spice. Worse, this is the second Spice Girls writeup on
  WORG.
  
  
• Steel Kommando -- because everyone needs flying armoured Nazi
  villains with guns.
  
  
• Sylvester J. Superman, from an abysmal episode of the 1950s
  Superman TV series. He's the strongest man in Skunk Hollow
  County.
  
  
• Whispering Jack, a homebrew from Pufnstuff. I'm having a bit of
  HD trouble for the peekchur, hang in there.
  
  

And we triumphantly reach 3326 entries. I'm gonna celebrate
with, hmm, a bottle of Vitamin Water, I guess.

06/24/2007

As I continued my industrious (if somewhat repetitive) descents into
the archives, I've brought from the depths a fair bunch of random and
interesting stuff. Roll call:

• ART - Like with much of the previous art improvements, many of
  those illustrations come form the rapsheet.co.uk site I already
  recommended. We often use the exact same sources, we detour in the
  same way and for all I know we use the same Photoshop filters -
  several times I was ready to detour an illustration when I realized
  the work was already done there.... And in quite a few cases, we have
  the exact same illustration, except we worked on it independently. So
  anyway, new, cool art for:
  
  
  • Cluemaster
    
  • Kingslayer
    
  • Magog (the Superman-killer)
    
  • Phobos (Ares' son in the DCU)
    
  • Pteradon
    
  • The Warlock of Ys
    
  • Bulldozer (from the Wrecking Crew)
    
  • Vermin
    
  • Whiplash II (from the Femmes Fatales)
    
  • Barbarus (from the Savage Land Mutates)
    
  • Prometheus (the JLA villain)
    
  • Tremolo
    
  • The Weasel
    
  • Jack Burton (Big Trouble in LIttle China)
    
  • Misfit (Night Shift)
    
  • Awesome Replicoid
    
  • Shocker
    
  • Brutale
    
  • Electrocutioner (the DC one)
    
  • KGBeast (modern version)
    
  • Lynx (of the Ghost dragons)
    
  • Killer Moth (post-Crisis version)
    
  • Tally man
    
  • King Snake
    
  • Cosmic King
    
  • Mist Master
    
  • Diamondback I
    
  • Mollaka
    
  • Frenzy (Joanna Cargill) has a new in-text illustration
  
  
  
• ART - I have also started haphazardly correcting color levels in
  some illustrations that were too faded (most comic book papers do not
  age very well), making them more vibrant and better-looking.
  
  
• The entry for the Whip II has been slightly upgraded.
  
  
  
  
• FABLES. In this one we catch up with the low number of entries
  in the last batch or two. We got:
  
  
  • The Adversary (and the Emperor, and the wooden soldiers)
    
  • Boy Blue
    
  • Goldilocks
    
  • Mowgli
  
  
  
• Losers -- the cat dragged Cougar (the laconic Catholic sniper) in.
  
  
• The Disco Boys, enforcers not-so-extraordinaire in Mystery
  Men, with a focus on Tony C. and Tony P. Would they win against
  the Roller Disco Devils and the Hypno-Hustler, though ?
  
  
• Golden Beetle, a homebrewed from Mike.
  
  
• Kill-Cat, the inept super-hero from the Larsenverse
  
  
• Killraven, the legendary leader of the human resistance after
  the War of the Worlds
  
  
• From the old database comes Lord Defile, a Daemonite lord, and a
  capsule entry for Muhgi, the mutant cat from Dirty Pair
  
  
• Manhattan Flash, from a Johnny Cash song, joins Rockworld
  
  
• "Marvel Boy" -- Noh-Varr -- the wild Kree super-soldier
  
  
• Mister Popo, a Dragonball character
  
  
• Writeups are surfacing that laid unpublished for six or more
  years, such as Mustang from the Exiles (in the Ultraverse). The
  illustration was a bitch to detour, too.
  
  
• The Piper, a pipe-themed Silver Age villain, starts our sweep
  through the Morrisson/Millar Aztek mini-series of ten years ago
  
  
• The entry for Richard's homebrewed Powerslide has been updated
  
  
• Various editorial clean-ups in the very detailed Prisoner /
  Number Six entry
  
  
• An adaptation of the Skull Spirits, undead monsters from a GURPS
  supplement
  
  
• Somehow, poor Sliver had been forgotten when I was putting the
  Gatherers online. Here she is now.
  
  
• The second Smuggler -- Erik Josten's bro, with the Redeemers
  
  
• Stanley Tweedle, the pathetic captain of the LEXX
  
  
• Three 'Tangent' characters, homebrewed in Kal El's namesake
  campaign:
  
  
  • Holocaust
    
  • Manhunter
    
  • Swamp Thing
  
  
  

So, as previously implied, headcount is now 3301 (which is
about one entry a day, 365/7, for nine full years plus a month and a
week, including leap years, according to me calculator).

---

06/20/2007

---

Yet more content to continue to compensate for those months that went
without an update during the last year (I was a tad busy). Roll
call:

• ART. New, cool stuff (along with, quite often, improvements in
  the old stuff) for:
  
  
  • The Warlord (the DCU one, Travis Morgan)
    
  • Will o' the Wisp
    
  • The Wraith (the old Spidey villain)
    
  • Magnir (converted AD&D character. I've also tweaked the
    mechanics, but who cares)
    
  • Black Mace
    
  • Beast (of the X-Men, and others)
    
  • Penance
    
  • Spider-Woman I (Jess Drew)
    
  • Nightcrawler
    
  • Black Lightning
    
  • Booster Gold
    
  • Night Girl (pre-Crisis LSH)
    
  • Omni-Man
    
  • The Thing From Another World (literary version)
    
  • Charcoal
    
  • Jolt
    
  • Superboy (pre-Graduation Day)
    
  • Mister Terrific II
    
  • Powerhouse I (Champions of Xandar)
    
  • The Lion God
    
  • Ravan
  
  
  
• Acolytes of Magneto. Ain't none. I'm trying to write up some DC stuff
  ATM.
  
  
• Fables. Next batch !
  
  
• Allen the Alien, the one eyed Kryptonian-level brick from the
  Invincible universe
  
  
• Batman Beyond
  
  
• The main types of Boomer androids from Bubblegum Crisis's Mega-
  Tokyo
  
  
• An updated entry for the first Captain Boomerang
  
  
• Losers: In this one we got the boss, Clay
  
  
• Cerebro's X-Men. Since people are likely to use them as a group,
  here goes the rest:
  
  
  • Crux
    
  • Gray King
    
  • Landslide II
    
  • Mercury
    
  • Rapture
  
  
  
• Long time since we didn't have a Buffy writeup... so why,
  why, WHY did it have to be Dawn Summers?
  
  
• The Gas Man, a toilet humor homebrew from Jay
  
  
• The first Green Goblin -- but this detailed writeup captures the
  *movie* version of the character, as played by Willem Dafoe
  
  
• Jill Valentine, one of the core character from Resident Evil
  
  
• Johnny Clonic, another experiment from Kal El's random generator
  
  
• Kid Lantern, an homebrew in the style of DC cartoons by Azrael
  
  
• Klamos and Grok, two terrible villains from old Wonder Woman
  stories. We do have a few of those, unfortunately, since for some
  reason I read a few issues preceding the 'karate mod era' when
  writing that up.
  
  
• Marian, another NPC from an old Shadowrun campaign
  
  
• Medini, the world's greatest hypnotist -- a very old Superman
  villain
  
  
• Meryl Stryfe - Milly's derringers-wielding colleague from
  Trigun
  
  
• Miss America, inspired by a Styx song like the rest of the core
  Rockworld homebrewed
  
  
• Plunder, a secondary Flash villain
  
  
• Power Core, a group entry for the guys in Bil's campaign
  
  
• Sailor Mercury -- joining Mars on WORG
  
  
• Snowblind, a minor yet somehow classic Ghost Rider villain
  
  
• Tru Davies, the character portrayed by nerd-favourite actress
  Eliza Dushku in the Tru calling TV series.

The next batch will break 3300.

I ended up doing most of he illos for which a volunteer was needed,
again... :-((. Anyway, roll call:

• ART. In this batch, the entries for which the art has been
  enhanced are:
  
  
  • Brainwave II
    
  • Bulletgirl
    
  • The Persuader (post-reboot version -- the previous illustration
    was from a *wrong* version of the Persuader)
    
  • Likewise Cdr Adama is now illustrated with the correct version
    of the character
    
  • Stegron the Dinosaur Man
    
  • The Turtle (the Wild Cards one)
    
  • Onomatopoeia
    
  • Antaeus (from the New Olympians who fought Batman and the
    Outsiders)
    
  • U235
    
  • Venom
    
  • The Cyberdemon and the Demon Spitter from the Doom
    videogame
  
  
  
• Typos and small modifications and additions-- I've cleared as
  many typos and assorted stuff and changes signaled by the WORG Patrol
  as I could stand. Go go, WORG Patrol !
  
  
• Acolytes of Magneto -- none in this batch, you guys had two last
  time.
  
  
• Fables. In this batch, Prince Charming. Stay tuned!
  
  
• A first three-round burst from the recent Losers series
  from DC: Aisha the scary badass warrior/assassin from Afghanistan,
  Jensen the Special Forces techie and Pooch, the Special Forces
  vehicles specialist.
  
  
• Animal, from a Rob Schneider 'comedy' role. It did a big fat 31%
  on Rotten Tomatoes...
  
  
• The Animals File is a large and extensively researched
  compilation of real-world animals, useful both for animal opponents
  and for people with Shapechange, Animal Mimicry, etc. -- in fact,
  special attention has been paid to model animal abilities for those
  with those Powers. This entry is still being worked on since it's so
  full of content, but I couldn't deprive faithful writeups.org readers
  of it any longer.

What is huge, enormous, humongous, gargantuan? The WORG publication
backlog. So here's an attempt to make it a bit less disastrous, with
a random selection that ranges from the really cool to the bizarre
and unexpected. Roll call:

  noticeably enhanced:
  
  
  • Hacker

  • Dragon (leader of the Dragon's Claws in 8162)
    
  • Rogarth (of the Taurus Gang)

  illustrated:

  Thunderbolts member onward), with another entry centering on his

  different guys) Marvel 'hero'

  • Quanto, a higher-dimensional lightform
  
  
  
• The in-game version of the history of the wrestling trio, the
  New World Order

  his Annihilation role

  the SF novels Woken Furies.
  
  
• Classic yet quite minor Marvel villain the Trapster
  
  
• The Ultimate Universe version of Doctor Doom
  
  
• The hammer-and-sickle-wielding Vanguard, from the old Soviet
  Super-Soldiers, was not on writeups.org since the ooold version of
  the site, years ago. He has been completely redone and now has a
  pretty big writeup.
  
  
• Uatu the Watcher, a classic Fantastic Four character
  
  
• The so-called 'Wild Bill' S.H.I.E.L.D. security robot

And thus we happily reach 3227 entries, with most of them being
pretty cool. Have you noticed how it's always the female characters
who get the super-long illustration bars extending way past the
writeup itself?

While the new batch has languished far too much in no-free-time-limbo, it's loaded with interesting stuff, which I hope will compensate. Roll call:

• The entry for Maverick, one of Marvel's kewl 1990s mutant mercenaries, has been thoroughly re-researched, rewritten and re-illustrated and is now much bigger and much more precise and detailed
  
  
• Elena Ivanovna, who used to be an appendix in the old Maverick writeup, now has her own and fully detailed entry
  
  
• As a further bonus, we now have an entry for Isabel Ferguson, Maverick's attaching armourer and gadgets woman. She could be useful in many campaigns.

• At last, the two key protagonists from landmark anime Ninja Scroll Jubei Kepagami the ultimate swordsman, and Kagero the tragic, venomous kunoichi
  
  
• Scott James is the archetypal "ninja badass" role of Chuck Norris, from the terrible 1980 movie The Octagon

• Our very popular entry for the pre-Crisis version of Validus has been upgraded and improved
  
  

And thus we reach 3181 entries, which looks nice.

Another medium-sized batch to try to eat away a bit of the backlog:

• ART. The entry for the Snake (the first costumed Superman
  villain) and Venom (Eddie Brock) have received the illustrations they
  were missing. The illustration for Trevor Fitzroy has received a lot

  new piece of art.
  
  
• The Banana Monster (or possibly the Watermelon Monster), a weird
  guardian from the movie "Taoist Drunkard"

• Leon Kennedy, the male hero from the Resident Evil games
  
  
• The Mecho-Assassin, an obscure A.I.M. killer robot. MORE ROBOTS !

  Danny the street, Demise, Johnny Quick (CSA, post-Crisis version),
  Owlman, Power Ring II (CSA), Superwoman (CSA), Yeoman, Double Dragon,

  Earth to explore the DC Universe

  (and Bishop in particular)
  
  
• Continuing our cycle of Acolytes of Magneto, this batch includes
  Gargouille
  
  
• Johnny Quick from the CSA -- but this time it's the pre-Crisis

  you), that one was Chase Lawler, possessed by the Wild Huntsman and
  bad Image Comics
  
  
• The third Mirror Master joins our collection of Flash's Rogue
  Gallery writeups
  
  
• Nova -- the Human Rocket ! This is an entry for the classic era

• Completing our fairly large collection of Supergirl writeups --
  this one is the Peter David version, aka the Earth Angel
  
  
• Our Venom writeup has, at long last, joined WORG after being

  statted, rewritten and re-illustrated since they did not match modern
  quality standards:
  
  
  • Bengal, a martial artist from the Marvel Universe
    
  • Blackout, the psychopathic vampire and monstrous serial killer.

• The King of Crime, a terrible and very obscure pre-Crisis Wonder Woman villain

• Paragon, an original character from David
  
  
• Since last batch had the Hellion's Roulette, here comes the first Roulette -- the demonic fiend that clashed with the Ghost Rider back then
  
  
• A detailed entry for a favourite of mine, the quasi-vampire, highly competent assassin Sandra Verdugo who hunted down, and then allied with, the Hulk

• The militant, armed American Fascist militia in the Marvel Universe, the Watchdogs.
  
  
• One of Roy's characters, Pathfinder, has been upgraded
  
  
• Small updates to the Apparition writeup

• Carnifex, from the Wild Cards novels
  
  
• Cinnamon, the beautiful and deadly avenger from the fading days of the Old West

• The Enforcer, an old creation of Chad
  
  
• The Winkler World version of Impulse, from Mike's campaign
  
  
• Another member of the pre-Crisis version of the Crime Syndicate of America -- the original Owlman.

• Public Enemy, a comedy character by Mike

• Rampage -- sort of a failed version of Tony Stark, with a brutal and straightforward suit of power armour.
  
  
• The second Puck, from Alpha Flight. She's fast ! She's really agile ! She's incredibly cute ! And she's funny too ! And a skilled barmaid ! And maybe... other things, eh ?
  
  
• Her teammate Yukotujakzurjimozoata aka Yukon Jack -- a strange blend of Native Canadian mystic and Tarzan type, who is also a colossal pseudo-Shakespearian prick, if you don't mind me saying.
  
  
• Colonel Ling, former CO of Red China's most secret base ! Includes the Psychotron and tons of illustrated 1960's sci-fi military hardware ! And Migs, too !
  
  
• Tao Pai Pai, because it's been a long time since we added a Dragonball Z character to this database.
  
  
• Last but certainly not least -- the entry for the Titanium Man has been entirely re-researched, rewritten and re-illustrated since it was longer up to par. It's now a fairly massive writeup with lots and lots of detail about comrade Bullsky and his various suits of mighty, massive, green power armour !

• Captain Ultra, to stem the tide of people writing him up. He's done guys ! Give up !

• More classic Doctor Who opponents -- the Daleks

Two small changes:

• The characters from TV movies and series now include in their
  name which actor played them in which movie or series (Bruce Willis in Die Hard,
  Arnold Scharzenegger in Commando, Olivier Gruner in Interceptor Force, etc.) since most readers will
  recognize an actor they like but may not remember the name of his/her
  character in a movie 20 years ago.
  
  
• The British site http://www.rapsheet.co.uk offers images that
  have been worked in in the same style as much of WORG (detoured on a
  bright white background) ; I've used a few to enrich WORG's
  illustration bars, since good personal pages have a distressing
  tendency to disappear -- and since I appreciate not having to detour
  those illustrations myself. All are of course duly credited in the
  headers of the entries.
  
  
  Here's a first set to unclutter my work folder ; more will follow.
  New art for:
  
  
  • Black Hand
    
  • Deadshot
    
  • Green Goblin I and III
    
  • The Gibbon

After a lot of work done at a somewhat insane speed, here comes the
new batch and oh boy, is big, wild and wooly. In fact I think I'll
split it into two parts.

Part 1/ New art

Mostly it's a large influx of Bob McLeod art from his web site
(www.bobmcleod.com), because I really like his art. But there's a few
other things, too. Anyway, the following entries have received new
art:

  the group)

• The last two members of the original Hellions - Beef and Bevatron
  
• Continuing our series for the popular Runaways -- Bruiser and
  Victor Mancha

  Gentlemen (the comic book, not the LXG movie)
  
• The entry for Johnny Quick of the post-Crisis Crime Syndicate of

  through no less than sevem versions). As a bonus, we also have a new
  entry for the *pre-Crisis* Superwoman of the CSA.
  
• Another Gatherer, this one quite obscure - Korg
  
• The second Kryptonite Man. What do you think ?
  
• In our Rockworld series about Styx songs -- Lady Lorelei

  Graduation Day
  
• The second Swordsman, from the Avengers and Gatherers

• The Ultimate version of Captain Marvel as he has appeared so far
  
• The Ultimate version of the Falcon. Just because *I* hate Millar
  doesn't mean you can't have those
  
• The Ultimate Fantastic Four (damn good book) so far. All four
  have of course individual entries (lots of invisible people in this
  batch...)
  
• The Ultimate version of Namor
  
• Valfadir, a homebrewed character from a Kal El campaign
  
• Another Supremacist -- Voortrekker !
  

Pfew, That was... big. But at least that's a small slice of backlog
that is now over ! Current head count at WORG is a nice, round 3050.

Another nice batch full of good things -- including some fan-favourites, more rewriting of weak entries, a bit more manga material (since this is our major weakness), etc. Roll call:

• Both the Badger and Wonder Woman (Diana - the main entry) have had their illustrations overhauled. For the 12 people who missed it, the White Witch of Narnia also received an illustration a few hours after the previous batch was finished.
  
  
• Continuing the Battlestar Galactica Reboot series -- Apollo.
  
  
• Starting our Runaways series, writing up the heroes of the popular Marvel series. In this batch Arsenic, Lucy in the Sky, Sister Grimm and Talkback.
  
  
• The Astrologer, an obscure 1970s Marvel villain and Black Widow foe
  
  
• Bloodmoney, an obscure 1990s DC villain that looks like an Image one
  
  
• Finishing our entries about the original Acolytes of Magneto (started with the Cortez siblings), here are Chrome and Marco Delgado
  
  
• Here comes the... peculiar robotic assassins of Mister Kline, aka the Assassin (who should be in the next batch). We give you the insane Demitrius, the trenchant Slasher I and the power-mad Lord of the Earth and the Inner Mind -- Mikas and his demons !
  
  
• Dr. Apocalypse, the Big Bad of an old Villains & Vigilantes module
  
  
• Ed Glosser, based on a SNL skit by Christopher Walken. Well, why not. I suppose it's our equivalent of Karen on Wikipedia.
  
  
• Ironstar, a home-brewed character by Gareth
  
  
• Pulp fiction classic John Carter, Warlord of Mars -- it's quite an honour to have him aboard, really.
  
  
• Konik, an obscure foe of Machine Man with lots of special weapons
  
  
• Lady Cop - I'm *trying* not to write up the obscure DC characters from the FIrst Issue Special series of the 1970s, but it's hard.
  
  
• Llan the Sorcerer -- his previous entry was deemed below the current quality standards, so everything has been entirely redone and is now thoroughly researched
  
  
• Magdalene, formerly of the Gatherers and later of the Avengers (sort of)
  
  
• Continuing our Freedom Force series (the computer game) - Minuteman !
  
  
• Mirage II, formerly of DC's Team Titans
  
  
• Two entries from terrible, terrible pre-Crisis Wonder Woman stories that were processed as part of the Karate Mod writeup. Steve Trevor as the Patriot II, and the Triple Stars. Meh. Let me know if you use those horrors. :-)
  
  
• Proctor, the leader of the Gatherers. Which prolly closes the Gatherer series of writeups, I haven't counted. Too much backlog. :-)
  
  
• The Psycho-Man, a fairly classic Fantastic Four villain
  
  
• The animated version of The Question, which seems to be somewhere between the pre-Crisis Question, the actual Question and Rorschach -- only smoother.
  
  
• CIA agent and champion kickboxer Rufus "Super Midnight" Carter. He's larger than life !
  
  
• What I think is our first entry for the entire "magical girl" genre -- Sailor Mars
  
  
• Scarth, another obscure and heavily Image-esque DCU villain from the 90s
  
  
• Michael Scofield, from the TV series Prison break
  
  
• Completing our large The Incredibles writeups -- Syndrome !
  
  
• The legendary Crow -- this is Eric from the original, poignant and much-admired graphic novel
  
  
• The Watchlord is an hideously obscure Black Widow foe
  
  
• Yuta -- from the "Mermaid Saga" manga. This entries include profiles for Mana the mermaid, and the Lost Ones.
  
  

And thus we break the barrier of the Big Three Thousand Entries On WORG -- since we now have 3006. Yay us !

That's 2972 entries - my psychic senses tell me the next batch will put us at 3K !

Ghostwise, who's always amazed at how many people stumble on the entries as they are being uploaded, checked and corrected.

• Bronze Tiger, Deadshot and Quicksilver have received significant amounts of new texts, again from readers

  one of these guys is probably someone's favourite :

I managed to get some time with my friend Photoshop recently, and so did Roy. Thus:

• I don't think there are any images with the old width (250 px) on WORG. There are still some pictures of lousy quality, of course, but at least they're big enough.
  
  
• The pictures for Madame X and Jackdaw/Blackbird had been corrupted, so I've done new, much better ones.
  
  
• The following pictures have been redone or updated:
  
  
  • Namor the Submariner.
    
  • Night Rider
    
  • John Rambo
    
  • Mystique (comic book version, not the movie one)
    
  • Quicksilver
    
  • Professor X
    
  • Arch-Vile (the monster from the Doom video game)
    
  • The "Silver Centurion" Iron Man armour
    
  • War Machine

More work done... this time on fixing old pictures. Many of the old,
small pictures have been, at least, resized to the correct width. The
following illustrations have received a more thorough overhaul, or
have had new pictures added:

• The Box
  
• The Jackson
  
• Sabra
  
• Eel II
  
• The Beast
  
• Grim Ghost
  
• Fancy Dan
  
• Hammer Harrison
  
• Montana I
  
• Ox
  
• Nicholas Scratch

• Chick
  
• Honeysuckle
  
• Kitten
  
• Sardine
  
• Toyboy
  
  

Most of those were pretty old writeups, and having to pass by
them without fixing them was hard -- but I don't have enough time. :-(

This batch *does* include *several* characters that more than three
people will recognize ! Yay !


It includes a lot of stuff from Gareth since he sent me lots of
pictures, thus saving me a lot of work. Yay for Gareth !


It also introduces images within the text. Technically this is of
course trivial, but I'm afraid of having entries that weight tons --
so for now I'm experimenting to see what load times result. Yay for
peekchurs !


Roll call:

• Barney Ling, the slimy and highly connected chief of G.O.O.D.
  (and thus Richard Dragon's former fixer).
  
  
• The beginning of our epic, multi-part Black Widow II entry. In
  this batch the KGB years -- when she was a femme fatale trying to
  bring Iron Man down.
  
  
• George Bulman and Christopher Truelove, from Wildstorm mini-
  series the Establishment. This batch covers the whole organization, I
  think.
  
  
• Cassandra, one of the Gatherers allied with Proctor who caused a
  bunch of trouble for the Avengers.
  
  
• Charcoal, a former member of the Thunderbolts
  
  
• Charlie Arrows, a British mob enforcer who became a member of
  the Establishment.

  Likewise, Ultivac and Multi-Masters now have an illustration - the
  sole picture that exist of them, in fact... The illustrations for
  Hussar (of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard) and the Punisher II (Frank
  Castle) have also been enhanced.
  
  
• The huuuge Iron Fist writeup has finally been published, even
  though we think it's not complete enough. Standards are falling
  around here, let me tell you.
  
  
• The robotic Jocasta -- but the alternate version which operated
  with the Gatherers
  
  
• Jolt, the dynamic teenager who was a key member of the Thunderbolts
  
  
• Jon Drake, of the Establishment -- the Danger Man and Marvel Man
  rolled into one.
  
  
• Lucy Arrows, Charlie's superpowered granddaughter
  
  
• The HUUUUUGGGE first writeup in our multi-part Mandarin writeup,
  covering the early years with the classic costume. Will receive more
  pictures if the strain doesn't break the Internet.
  
  
• Mei Ling, who was the fiancee of the Mandarin. Really.
  
  
• Mister Pharmacist, the scientist of the Establishment.
  
  
• The Painted Doll, a postmodern villain seen in the Promethea story.
  
  
• Raphe Equus, bred to be the perfect man for the Establishment.

• Sloth, the brick of the Gatherers.
  
  
• Squirrel girl, one of the most powerful heroines in the Marvel
  Universe.
  
  
• Tabula, an alternate version of the Vision that served with the
  Gatherers.
  
  
• The Baron, a deceased Establishment agent.
  
  
• The Golden -- the three creepiest Establishment members.
  
  
• Vantage, a recurrent Thunderbolts character.
  

Well, that's 2928 swell people in our wonderful garden party. How
lovely is that ?

"Tyger tyger, burning bright'... this batch started by running
searches on unpublished stuff with 'tiger', 'burn', 'fire', and so on
and so forth, in the title. I'm still uneasy over the number of
excellent writeups by our fine writers I have yet to publish, though.


Roll call:

• The major names in this batch might be the Kung Fu Fighters --
  three major DC characters as they were in now obscure 1970s book
  Richard Dragon Kung Fu Fighter. Thus we have the 1970s versions
  of Ben Turner (who would become the Bronze Tiger), Lady Shiva (this
  version includes revelation about her past from the last issues of
  Batgirl volume 3) and Richard Dragon.
  
  
• Enrico Chavez, a criminal arms dealer and Carmen Cazotte, a
  bound succubus, from GURPS adventure Soulburner.

  supplement FREElancer
  
  
• Stats for the various incarnations of Firestorm -- Firestorm II
  (Ronnie and Mikhail), the fire elemental version, the universal
  elemental version, and the Extreme Justice version.
  
  
• On second thought the major entrant of this batch might be Harry
  Potter. :-) Those stats are for the character as to the
  Philosopher Stone book.
  
  
• Junko Aoki, the Japanese equivalent to Stephen King's Firestarter.
  
  
• Midnight Fire, an enemy of Night Thrasher and Silhouette and a
  Folding Circle member
  
  
• Paper Tiger, a Silver Age villain invented by Jeff
  
  
• The Preying Mantis, an insect-like mutant martial artist who
  fought Richard Dragon
  
  
• Professor Ojo, an obscure DCU villain and a foe of Ben Turner
  
  
• The Queen of Chaldonor, an extradimensional enemy of Wonder
  Woman during the Karate Mod Era.
  
  
• Ranagor, an extradimensional ally of Wonder Woman during the
  Karate Mod Era.
  
  
• Slash I, a pirate swordsman who was an early enemy of Lady Shiva
  
  
• Sunburst, a Japanese anti-hero from the immediate pre-Crisis DCU
  
  
• The Swiss, the international assassin who killed Lady Shiva's
  sister
  
  
• Tananda, from the book series Myth Inc.
  
  
• All four Japanese wrestlers who shared the name and mask of
  Tiger Mask (including the very first, who much later became the Tiger
  King -- not to be confused with Dark Horse's King Tiger)
  
  
• Tinsel, a very generic heroine from the Ultraverse's Exiles
  
  
• Topper, a thug employed by Doctor Moon against Richard Dragon.
  
  

And thus we break the 2900 threshold, with 2903 entries.

• Blaze of Glory, a creation by Kal El el Vigilante

Spent an awful lot of time redoing layouts, illustrations, etc. all throughout WORG so it looks better and is more pleasant to read.

Changes worth of note :

• Added the infamous SHIELD flying Porches and a few notes to Nick Fury's writeup.

In this update... well, what was complete in that folder, since the
stock was getting confusing to manage. Though there's an unusual
number of obscure thugs and enforcers in that batch, so that's almost
a theme.

• The Arch-Vile, voted most annoying opponent in early Doomvideogames - and quite dangerous, too.
  
• Atmos, the Pre-Crisis "hero" from Xanthu in Legion of Super-Heroes books
  
• Batman... but a version of the character as imagined by Stan Lee
  for a parallel universe.
  
• Blok, an obscure Maori enforcer complete with superstrength,
  tattoo and shades.
  
• Bludgeon, superhuman West Coast muscle for hire
  
• A very detailed and completely redone writeup for Crossbones,
  one of Cap's most memorable opponents from the Waid run
  
• A complete and entirely redone writeup for Cutthroat, an
  interesting but minor villainous weapons specialist from the Marvel
  Universe
  
• Flash... but another Stan Lee re-imagining of that character
  
• Grimbor the Chainsman, a classic Legion of Super-Heroes foe
  
• Harpy III, a mad enforcer working for Maxie Zeus
  
• Headhunter I, a punk-like gunman and top assassin who once
  nearly killed Commissioner Gordon
  
• The Ladykillers - T and A - a pair of young oversexed female
  assassins and martial artists
  
• Revised entry for La Lunatica, one of the most notable X-Men 2099
  
• Mangler III, the most articulate minor superhuman thug around
  
• Metalhead, a brutal spiked headcase who once fought Batman
  
• Mister Phun, a tough but minor enforcer from Madripoor

  He could turn into a wall. Oooohhh.

  appeared briefly in 1970s issues of Spider-Man as Black Cat's
  henchmen. I though they were cool when I was ten.

  Dewolff. She wore a raspberry beret, too.

  mini-dress, grey skin and interdimensional technology who was a
  Superman foe a looooong time ago. The Marvel one will be in the next
  batch.
  
  
• Roughouse, the Asgardian brick who's Bloodscream's partner and a
