Within DC Comics continuity the first Aryan Brigade incarnation is presented as a paramilitary cell created by the in‑story white supremacist organization the Aryan Nation; the team was introduced in Justice League Task Force #10 (March 1994). Subsequent uses of the 'Aryan Brigade' name recur in later storylines as different rosters are fielded, sometimes tied to the same ideological group or repurposed by other villain collectives.
No single uniform is consistent across appearances; members appear as individual costumed operatives whose visuals vary by issue and artist. Noted members and motifs from source accounts include Backlash (elastic whip‑like arms), Blind Faith (a blind female depicted as a seer), Golden Eagle (exo‑skeleton with artificial wings), Heatmonger / Heat Monger (robotic arms that emit thermal energy in comic appearances; later televised portrayal differs), Iron Cross (depicted with super‑strength and martial iconography), Bonehead (bulletproof with cranial spikes), Luftwaffe (wears World War II–era pilot attire), and Rebel (super‑strong white supremacist).
Collectively the Brigade's danger arises from the metahuman or enhanced abilities of individual members and from organized paramilitary tactics. Documented powers include elastic, whip‑like limbs (Backlash); precognitive/extrasensory seer abilities while blind (Blind Faith); flight via exo‑skeleton/artificial wings (Golden Eagle); thermal‑energy projection from robotic arms (Heatmonger); super‑strength (Iron Cross, Rebel); and bulletproof skin with cranial spikes (Bonehead). Behaviorally they operate as violent enforcers for a white supremacist organization, carry out ambushes on superhero teams, attempt biologically targeted terrorism (a designer virus intended to attack "non‑white" DNA in an atmospheric rocket), and participate in alliances with other villain groups (recruitment into the Cadre; individual members later appearing in Suicide Squad and Salvation Run storylines).

None recorded.
3-D Man
3-D Man is a Marvel Comics superhero identity associated with a 1950s-era origin in which the body of Chuck Chandler can materialize in three-dimensional existence when activated by his brother Hal via a pair of glasses. The mantle was later assumed by Delroy Garrett (formerly Triathlon) in modern continuity.
5 Ronin
5 Ronin is a 2011 Marvel Comics five-issue limited series that reimagines five Marvel superhero archetypes as rōnin (masterless samurai) in a fictionalized post‑Sekigahara feudal Japan. The work places Wolverine, Hulk, Punisher, Psylocke, and Deadpool analogues into period roles to explore displacement, revenge, and identity in an era of political upheaval.
58 Concordia
58 Concordia is a fairly large main-belt asteroid orbiting the Sun, discovered in 1860 and named after the Roman goddess Concordia. Astronomical sources classify it as a C-type (carbonaceous) body with a multi-year orbital period and measurable rotation and pole orientations.
9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9
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.
Abena Mansa
A name attested in a single contemporary Ghanaian blog anecdote as a 'mysterious being'; available sources do not establish Abena Mansa as a coherent, traditional supernatural figure or provide corroborating ethnographic detail.
Abin Sur
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.
Abraham Cornelius
Abraham Cornelius is a fictional human scientist in Marvel Comics, a senior Weapon X technician who helped develop the technique to bond adamantium to bone and who features in Wolverine's origin and later storylines, including Death of Wolverine.
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). The story reframes Green Lantern mythos as cosmic/religious horror with an "Enlightenment Spectrum" of flames (Qard, Rao, Sur, Aur) stewarded by Oans such as Abin Sur.
Absorbing Man
A fictional Marvel Comics character (Carl "Crusher" Creel) whose body acquires the physical properties of materials or energies he touches. Debuting in Journey into Mystery #114 (March 1965), created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, he is presented as a mortal supervillain/occasional antihero who challenges heroes such as Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man, and the Avengers.
