Origin

Sources do not provide a fully elaborated canonical origin. The character is identified as Althea Winifred Sanderson with a backstory tied to British intelligence by some summaries; she first appears in Deadpool #1. Accounts indicate Wade Wilson encountered her during earlier events (including a mission in Zaire in extended summaries) and that their fraught relationship — involving capture, escape, reunion, and cohabitation — developed over time. Precise details of her earlier life and the full circumstances of Wade's initial involvement are not fully detailed in the cited sources.

Appearance

Described in sources as a 'skinny old woman' who is blind. Comic and film portrayals vary visually; Leslie Uggams portrayed her in the Deadpool films. Beyond age, thinness, and blindness the supplied texts give few consistent physical details. She is associated in the comics with a dog named Deuce (Deuce the Devil-Dog).

Abilities

No supernatural powers are ascribed in the sources. Her notable capacities are social and intellectual: toughness, sharp cynicism, verbal acuity (she often out-insults Deadpool), moral influence, household competence (cooking, cleaning), and occasional covert sabotage of Deadpool's weapons motivated by safety concerns. She also performs domestic labor within their arrangement and exacts private revenge (for example, placing laxatives in his food as a prank).

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.

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.
