Within Marvel's comics publishing continuity, Death's Head 3.0 is presented as a later-model, mass-producible construct in the Death's Head franchise. The 3.0 incarnation was featured in a 2005/2006 revival of the character (Amazing Fantasy #16–20 / Death's Head 3.0: Unnatural Selection trade) and appears across Marvel UK and Marvel titles, tie-ins and crossovers; narrative accounts include mass-production by figures such as Dr. Evelyn Necker and deployment in crossover events (e.g., Revolutionary War). The 3.0 stories are presented across multiple alternate continuity designations rather than being confined to Earth-616 in at least some sources.
Depicted as a mechanical humanoid cyborg / robotic bounty hunter. Visuals in supplied summaries note a final panel that shows the cyborg with mouth-horn elements alluding to the original Death's Head design; other references describe them as 'Warguard-style' cyborgs and mass-produced Death's Head units. Beyond these points, sources describe the form generically as a programmed combat cyborg rather than giving a full anatomical inventory.
Functionally a combat operative and bounty hunter: mass-producible, weapon‑equipped robotic/cyborg constructs used for battle, capture and bounty work. Sources describe programmability and susceptibility to software modification (for example, installation of a Trojan programme that allows an opposing agent to neutralize units). The role inherits franchise traits such as time-travel and idiosyncratic speech patterns from the broader Death's Head concept, and the 3.0 line is shown deployed en masse or individually depending on plot needs.

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.

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.
