Origin

Within the supplied materials the mythological attestation is limited to a disambiguation notice that 'Bienor' is the name of four characters in Greek mythology; no origin narratives, genealogies, or deeds for those figures are provided. Separately, the modern astronomical usage follows the contemporary scientific practice of naming minor planets after mythological figures: 54598 Bienor is a centaur-class small body whose physical and rotational properties have been the subject of photometric study.

Appearance

The supplied sources give no descriptive appearance for the mythological Bienor figures. For the astronomical object 54598 Bienor, observational modeling portrays it as a rotating, elongated body best fit by a triaxial (Jacobi) ellipsoid with semi-axes a > b > c. Best-fit axial ratios reported include b/a = 0.45 ± 0.05 (alternate fit with a ring: b/a = 0.37 ± 0.10). Its rotational period is 9.17 hours. Spectroscopic data consistent with water ice are noted; the photometric modeling also permits an interpretation that a ring system (similar in characteristics to those proposed for Chariklo and Chiron) could be present and influence observed brightness.

Abilities

No supernatural abilities, agency, or behaviors are attributed to the mythological Bienor figures in the provided sources. The astronomical Bienor exhibits measurable physical/observational behaviours: time-variable photometric properties including a decline in rotational light-curve amplitude and in absolute magnitude over observations from 2000 to 2016. These changes are interpreted as consequences of changing aspect angle (viewing geometry) of a rotating, elongated body and are used to infer spin-axis orientation and bulk density (estimated ~594^{+47}_{-35} kg m^{-3} under hydrostatic equilibrium assumptions; alternate estimate ~678^{+209}_{-100} kg m^{-3} when a ring is included). The ring interpretation is presented as a viable explanation but not definitive.

*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)

Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.

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.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.

Aba (disambiguation / name-form)

Aba is a polyvalent name-form attested across many unrelated contexts (place names, personal names, animal names, and brief mythological listings). The provided sources do not support a single, coherent supernatural entity called "Aba" and offer no descriptive or ritual material for such a being.

Abarbarea

Abarbarea is a name attested in classical Greek and Roman sources for freshwater nymphs (naiads). The name appears for at least two individual mythic figures — a naiad wife of Bucolion and a naiad counted among ancestors of the Tyrians — and Hesychius records plural forms that may indicate the name was also used as a class-name (Abarbareai / Abarbalaiai).

Abas

Abas (Ancient Greek: Ἄβας, gen.: Ἄβαντος) is not a single mythic being but a recurring personal name borne by multiple mortals and minor mythic figures in Greek epic and genealogical traditions — kings, founders, seers, warriors, attendants, a centaur, and a youth transformed by a goddess. The name is glossed in the sources as 'guileless' or 'good-hearted' and appears across Argive, Theban, Trojan, Euboean, and other local cycles.

Abderus

Abderus (Ancient Greek: Ἄβδηρος, romanized Ábdēros) is a mortal heroic figure in Greek myth closely associated with Heracles, remembered as the youth left in charge of the Mares of Diomedes who was killed by them. He functions as an eponymous local/divine-hero ancestor for the city of Abdera and received funerary commemoration and athletic agones at his tomb.

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.
