Fëanor is introduced in the legendarium as the eldest son of Finwë, King of the Noldor, and Míriel. His birth consumed Míriel's spirit and body according to the sources; Fëanor grew to be 'the mightiest in all parts of body and mind.' He rose in the Blessed Realm of Aman as a preeminent craftsman and leader among the Noldor, creating works (notably the Silmarils, and—according to the tradition summarized in the supplied material—such arts as the Tengwar script and palantíri) that permanently shaped the fate of his people. His anger at the theft of the Silmarils by Melkor (later named Morgoth), and at the slaying of his father, led him to lead the Noldor in rebellion and exile and to bind himself and his sons by the Oath of Fëanor, a vow that drives much of the subsequent tragedy described in the sources.
Sources describe Fëanor chiefly by excellence rather than precise physical detail: he is 'the mightiest in all parts of body and mind,' superior in valour, endurance, beauty, understanding, skill, strength and subtlety. Metaphorical language in the texts speaks of 'a bright flame' in him, conveying a radiant bearing and intense presence; the supplied material does not give specific measurements, coloration, or clothing descriptions.
Fëanor's primary capacities are creative, intellectual, and charismatic leadership. He is recorded as the creator of the three Silmarils—jewels described as 'alive, imperishable, and sacred' into which 'part of his essence goes'—and is associated in the provided sources with crafting the Tengwar script and the palantír seeing-stones. He is a master gem-smith and inventor whose works could not be replicated by the Valar. Psychologically, he is proud, possessive, and resolute: his attachment to his creations and suspicion of others lead him to swear the Oath of Fëanor, compelling himself and his sons to relentless pursuit of anyone who withholds a Silmaril and precipitating actions such as the theft of ships, the Kinslaying at Alqualondë, and the exile of the Noldor. His choices provoke formal responses from the Valar (for example, his exile to Formenos for twelve years) and have epochal consequences in the legendarium.

A Elbereth Gilthoniel
An Elvish hymn in Sindarin addressed to Elbereth (Varda) from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium.

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.

Acheron
Acheron is a mythological river of the Ancient Greek Underworld, portrayed in classical literature as a boundary or entrance to Hades across which the dead are conveyed. It is also a real river in Epirus whose landscape and nearby cult sites (notably a Necromanteion) were mapped onto the literary river; later Western authors use Acheron metonymically for Hell or the infernal realm.
Achilles and Patroclus
A central heroic dyad in the Homeric Trojan War tradition: two mortal Greek warriors whose close bond—portrayed as deep companionship in the Iliad—drives key events of the epic when Patroclus' death provokes Achilles' rage, return to battle, and the slaying of Hector.
Acoetes
Acoetes is a proper name applied to multiple mortal figures in classical Greco‑Roman mythic narratives. Most famously, an Acoetes is a fisherman who recognizes and testifies to the divinity of Bacchus/Dionysus and recounts how blasphemous sailors were transformed into dolphins; other bearers of the name appear as a Trojan genealogical figure (father of Laocoön), an aged former squire of Evander, and a frightened soldier in Statius' Thebaid.
Adam X the X-Treme
A fictional Shi'ar–human mutant hybrid from Marvel Comics, created in the 1990s X-Men milieu.
