Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Betty Brant first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #4 (September 1963). Within Marvel continuity she is introduced as a young woman working as J. Jonah Jameson's personal secretary at the Daily Bugle; her publication-history role develops through romantic involvement with Peter Parker, a later marriage to fellow reporter Ned Leeds, and storylines involving personal trauma such as the death of her brother Bennett Brant and the assassination of Ned Leeds.
Sources describe Betty Brant as a young adult woman associated with newsroom attire rather than any heroic costume; fan-profile details list brown hair and brown eyes and give specific height/weight measurements, but canonical visual portrayals vary across comics and screen adaptations (notably portrayals by Elizabeth Banks and Angourie Rice in film). The provided sources do not establish a single definitive canonical costume or consistent measurements across media.
Betty Brant is a non-superpowered human whose notable skills are professional: secretarial work and journalism, having served as J. Jonah Jameson's secretary and later as a reporter for the Daily Bugle. Some fan-oriented profiles list additional abilities (e.g., martial arts) but those claims are not corroborated in the supplied canonical summaries and should be treated as unverified.

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.

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). 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.
