Ardina

Greaterwell-documentedmodern American comic-book mythos (Marvel)Marvel comics cosmology (Earth / alternate Earths such as Earth–Moebius)
Origin

Two distinct origin accounts are recorded in the cited sources. In the Defenders storyline account, Papa Hagg supplied a magic dagger that allowed the Defenders to siphon some of the Silver Surfer's energy and, by using a spell invoking Umar, Hecate, Demeter, Jord, and Apalla, create a female being identified as Ardina; she and other female analogs were thereafter banished to a far-off place and later relocated in-canon. An earlier account (from Silver Surfer material) states Ardina was created by Galactus as a potential mate for the Silver Surfer; that origin was later retconned in continuity and associated with Earth–Moebius in appendix notes.

Appearance

Sources identify Ardina only as a female being formed from the Silver Surfer's energies. No detailed canonical physical description (exact costume, coloration, height, or facial features) is provided in the cited materials; existing notes restrict description to her being an energy-formed female analog tied to the Silver Surfer's Power Cosmic.

Abilities

The cited sources state Ardina is made from the Silver Surfer's energies and can use the Power Cosmic to fly and to create energy blasts from her hands. Narratively she functions as a female analog created to mirror or oppose other characters (appearing to aid the Defenders against the Order) and her existence and origin vary across continuities (creation by Galactus in one account; magical siphoning in another).

An anonymous Reddit screen name and online persona used by the author of the Interface series, a multipart speculative-horror narrative posted in short installments across Reddit in 2016. The name functions as the signature of an authorial identity and as a focal label for a fandom that created archives, a subreddit, and a wiki documenting the story and its fictional phenomena (notably entities called "flesh interfaces").

A Elbereth Gilthoniel

An Elvish hymn in Sindarin addressed to Elbereth (Varda) from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. Presented in The Lord of the Rings and later musical and dramatic adaptations, the hymn functions as devotional poetic language that evokes Elvish reverence for the star-kindler rather than an independent supernatural agent.

A.R.G.U.S.

A.R.G.U.S. is a fictional clandestine United States government agency in the DC Comics universe that investigates, contains, and manages superhuman, meta-human, and supernatural incidents and assets. Introduced in The New 52 continuity, it functions as an institutional actor providing intelligence, logistical support, covert task forces (notably Task Force X / the Suicide Squad), and a dedicated magic division across comics and media adaptations.

Abin Sur is a fictional extraterrestrial Green Lantern from the planet Ungara in DC Comics. A former history professor turned Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814, he discovered and investigated a prophecy tied to the "Blackest Night," died wounded on Earth and chose Hal Jordan as his ring-successor, and was later reanimated as a Black Lantern in the Blackest Night storyline.

Abishai

Abishai is a personal name attested in several distinct sources: a biblical individual described as the eldest son of Zeruiah (sister of King David); a Semitic chief named in an inscription at Beni-Hasan in Middle Egypt; and modern cultural uses including a named monster in Dungeons & Dragons and as an artist/stage name. The supplied materials do not present Abishai as a supernatural being within a living cosmology.

Absolute Green Lantern (tradition)

A modern comic-book reinterpretation in DC's Absolute Universe in which a giant green lantern-shaped vessel appears above Evergreen, Nevada, generates an impenetrable green dome, judges townspeople and sends the judged into the Lantern to await further adjudication in OA (Omega‑Alpha).
