Origin

Created within DC Comics continuity, Lyssa Drak first appears as a Talokian affiliated with the Sinestro Corps. She functions as the corps' trainer/recorder, charged with testing recruits in the Fear Lodge and documenting outcomes in the Book of Parallax, which is physically chained to her. During the Blackest Night / Brightest Day era of Green Lantern storylines she is sealed into the Book of the Black, later freed by Krona (a robed stranger figure in the narrative) and assigned as keeper of that book for a time before returning to interactions with the Sinestro Corps in subsequent crossovers.

Appearance

Sources identify Lyssa Drak as a female-presenting Talokian character typically depicted in association with Sinestro Corps regalia (the yellow motif and corps uniform as used by Yellow Lantern members). Comic and media appearances portray her as a Talokian alien figure recognizable by readers and viewers; specific anatomical measurements, colors, or exhaustive visual detail are not provided in the cited summaries. She is commonly illustrated carrying or bound to the Book of Parallax when serving her recorder role, and later is visually linked to the Book of the Black during the Blackest Night storyline.

Abilities

Lyssa Drak wields a Sinestro Corps yellow power ring and employs its standard ring functions: creation of constructs based on imagination, flight, force fields, and related ring capabilities as demonstrated in Green Lantern stories. Within narratives she is described as a trainer and survivalist figure who conducts Fear Lodge trials, records recruits' outcomes in the Book of Parallax (the book is chained to her), resists interrogation by telling tales, and performs duties of safeguarding and updating the Book. Her narrative arc includes being imprisoned (Sciencell, lantern-powered cages), being sealed into the Book of the Black, and later being freed to act as that book's keeper for a period.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ace West

Ace West (Wallace Daniel "Ace" West) is a contemporary American comic-book character in DC Comics continuity, a young speedster who channels the metaphysical Speed Force and occupies legacy-hero roles such as Kid Flash and Ace. Introduced in New 52-era stories as a biracial reinterpretation of Wally West and later retconned in DC Rebirth as a distinct Wallace West, son of Daniel West (Reverse-Flash), he appears across present-day and alternate/future timelines and participates in team and sacrifice narratives tied to the Speed Force.

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. Portrayed as a genetically engineered offspring tying the Summers mutant bloodline to Shi'ar royalty, he appears in Earth- and Shi'ar-centered storylines and exhibits both Shi'ar physiology and a mutant heat/blood ability.
