In primary Marvel continuity Griffin Gogol, a plumber, underwent hypnosis administered by a psychologist who was secretly an alien; the hypnosis is described in the comics biography as having unlocked his innate superhuman abilities. A 2099-era variant named Morty Gogol appears in Marvel Year‑in‑Review material as an alternate/universe-future iteration. Creator commentary indicates the character was developed as part of a Fantastic Four spoof and conceived with parody intent.
Creators describe Captain Ultra's costume as a deliberately busy, multicolored outfit — Roy Thomas characterized it as a 'church-window' costume with many design pieces and colors. Visuals across media show him as a conventionally superhuman male costumed hero; some adaptations and unrelated Japanese media titled 'Captain Ultra' depict science-fiction/space-adventure costuming, but their relation to the Marvel character is not established in the sources.
Sources list Captain Ultra as possessing superhuman strength, speed, durability, stamina, and the power of flight. He is reported to have psionic intangibility (becoming intangible at will), X‑ray vision (seeing through substances), and the ability to project his breath forward with concussive force; a fan directory quantifies his strength as roughly nine tons under optimal conditions. The character's origin narrative ties these abilities to hypnotic unlocking of latent powers. Behaviorally, he has functioned variously as a would-be team applicant, ally to other heroes, leader of an Initiative team, and as a figure used for comedic or parodic effect in-story.

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 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.

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.
