Clara Saberton - Batman: Arkham Knight

The personal secretary of Bruce Wayne, Clara Saberton, remained behind in Gotham during Scarecrow's Halloween siege. In the relative safety of Wayne Tower's top floor, she continued working for Wayne and Lucius Fox. 

She was deceived by Thomas Elliot, aka Hush (nee the Identity Thief), who was impersonating Bruce Wayne. Mistaking him for her real employer, she was surprised to see him, believing he had evacuated the city hours earlier.

Minutes later, after hearing a disturbance coming from Wayne’s office, Clara went to investigate—only to be shot at by “her boss,” who had taken Fox hostage.

Convinced that Bruce Wayne had gone insane, she was relieved by Batman's appearance, begging the vigilante to save Fox. 

With the building still under lockdown, Clara fled to the lower floors, reasoning they were still far safer than Gotham's besieged streets. 

Officer J.T. Wicker - Batman: Arkham Knight

A corrupt officer in the GCPD, JT Wicker, has been working as a mole and informant for the Riddler for years, helping Nigma stay one step ahead of the police and feeding him inside information that he could use against them. Their partnership started ten years ago, when Nigma, then going by the name Eddie Nashton, infiltrated the GCPD as the head of the Cyber Crimes Unit. 

In the runup to Halloween, and Riddler's latest scheme against Batman, he planted several of Nigma's trophies throught GCPD headquarters.

When Batman discovered Wicker’s ties to the Riddler, he confronted the officer, demanding he reveal everything he knew about Nigma’s plans. Unable to convince his fellow officers that Batman was lying, Wicker confessed, shocking and disgusting his colleagues. 

He spent the rest of the evening locked in a holding cell. Wicker attempted to garner sympathy from his colleagues, claiming he was a triple agent and acting on Gordon's behalf, though no one believed him. 

Realising he had no allies, he dropped his act, lashing out at Batman. He called out Batman's hypocracy and brutal methods, blaming him for Riddler's mental breakdown and obsession with humiliating, unmasking and killing the vigilante. 

"The Starfish Freak" - Batman: Arkham Knight

Known as "The Starfish Freak," he was once a construction worker at Seagate Amusement Park who became possessed by one of Starro the Conqueror’s Star-Spawn. After turning violent and attacking his fellow workers, he was eventually subdued, and both he and Starro were imprisoned.

At Jack White’s suggestion, Edward Burke planned to feature them as the main attractions of the park’s freak show, emphasising the man’s loss of bodily autonomy and marketing him as “more beast than man.”

After Jack White and Dr. Harleen Quinzel persuaded Burke to take his own life, shortly after he signed over the deed to Seagate, some believe that the Starfish Freak was stored away alongside Starro. 

However, most assume he was killed when the Joker halted all construction plans and turned the park into his latest hideout.

Feral - Star Wars: The Clone Wars

The younger brother of Savage Opress and Maul, Feral, was a Zabrak from the planet Dathomir and the son of Mother Talzin.

He was raised alongside his brothers, trained in combat under Brother Viscus, and eventually joined the Nightbrothers, pledging loyalty to his mother and the Nightsisters.

In 20 BBY, during the Clone Wars, Feral was among those selected by Asajj Ventress to compete in a brutal selection process to choose a champion for her revenge campaign against her former master, Darth Tyranus—aka Count Dooku.

Feral survived the gruelling trials, fighting side by side with Savage, until they were the last two standing. Despite surviving the three initial tests, he was deemed unworthy of becoming Ventress's apprentice. 

Rather than killing him outright, he was taken prisoner by the Nightsisters to serve as the ultimate test.

After Savage was chosen as Ventress’ champion, both she and Talzin ordered him to kill Feral to prove his loyalty. 

His desperate pleas for mercy went unheard as Savage snapped his neck.

Officer Krane - Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

An Imperial officer serving the Galactic Empire, Officer Krane, was "assigned" to oversee Project Auger—a mining operation aimed at excavating ancient artefacts buried on the planet Zeffo.

Believing the previous project leader lacked the necessary leadership and drive, Krane orchestrated a mutiny and seized full control of the operation.

Ambitious and eager to win Emperor Palpatine’s favour, Krane became increasingly reckless. She disregarded warnings from her subordinates and dismissed many discovered relics as worthless trinkets, unworthy of excavation.

After one of her troopers uncovered a valuable relic within the Ice Caves, Krane attempted to confiscate and smuggle it off the planet, believing that presenting it to the Emperor would result in personal rewards and a promotion. As she attempted to keep the artefact concealed from the rest of her team, tremors caused by the mining destabilised the cave, causing a collapse of ice and rock that buried her alive.

In 14 BBY, during a covert mission to Zeffo to help rebuild the Jedi Order, Cal Kestis discovered Krane’s remains. Using his ability to access Force echoes, he experienced her final moments and witnessed the reckless ambition that led to her demise.

Maxie Zeus - Batman: Arkham City

While a patient at the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, Maxie Zeus vanished without a trace. Although there are no official records detailing what happened to him, staff widely acknowledge that he was routinely subjected to electroshock therapy, with some theorising that he died as a result of these treatments.

Others claim he escaped not long before the Joker’s “Homecoming Party” and now resides within Arkham City, leading a gang from his former nightclub, the Gotham City Olympus. 

Maxie Zeus' Cell - Batman: Arkham Asylum

The permanent cell of Maxie Zeus, situated in Arkham Asylum's Intensive Treatment Building, is directly adjacent to Patient Pacification and the ECT room. 

Zeus decorated the walls with symbols and glyphs from different ancient cultures, including Greek, Roman and Egyptian.  

Humphry Dumpler's Grandmother - Beware the Batman

The grandmother of Humphry Dumpler lived in Gotham City until her death under mysterious circumstances. 

After escaping police custody and going underground, Dumpler took up residence in her home at 15 Hawthorne Avenue, using the basement to construct lethal mechanised toy soldiers that he would use in his revenge scheme against all those who had hurt and abused him. 

Humphry Dumpler's Mother - Beware the Batman

The mother of Humphry Dumpler, she moved from Gotham to Star City. 

She is registered as missing and presumed dead.

The Watchtower - Earth 50 - The Multiversity Guidebook

Earth 50 - The Multiversity Guidebook

Designated Earth 50, this world became a global police state after Superman murdered President Lex Luthor. Order is maintained by the newly formed Justice Lords, who ruled through fear and tyranny.

Gordie's Tyranitar - Pokémon Masters EX

One of several Pokémon on Gordie's PML team. 

Gordie's Barbaracle - Pokémon Masters EX

During his training for the PML, Gordie decided to expand his team and vary his strategy, partnering with Barbaracle. 

Gordie - Pokémon Masters EX

The current Rock-type Gym Leader from Galar's Circhester Gym, Gordie, is a very popular and talented trainer. He works hard to achieve victory through a refined battle style and dreams to help change the perception that Rock-types are "boorish" and inelegant. 

He is the son of Melony, who co-owns/runs the Gym on alternate weeks. She is a prestigious Ice-type Gym Leader who wanted him to follow in her footsteps. She trained him from a young age to become an Ice-type trainer.

However, he did not like how she was pushing her severe, ruthless style on him, eventually leaving home after a massive disagreement. Since then, he has been training to be better than her on his own terms. 

Gordie's decision to favour Rock-types only continued to widen the rift in their relationship, becoming something they would often butt heads about. Despite the tension, they still love one another. 

He is very grateful for his large fan base, who support him. He tries to honour them with new and exciting battles.

His showmanship and larger-than-life personality have earned him some detractors, who believe he does not take his fights seriously. However, he tries to focus on the positives. He does not plan to change his style, wishing to battle authentically.

As of 2023, he has had three photo books of himself published, with a fourth in the works. 

Among his fans is Melony, who was the first official member of his fan club. 

Invited to Pasio to compete in the Pokémon Masters League, he was recruited to join Bettie and Scottie's team. 

He was excited to meet his fellow Rock-type Gym leaders from the other regions. 

Gordie is a real foodie and is proud of being a stockier guy. 

One of his personal highlights while on Pasio was a battle with Alola's Masked Royal. After the fight, the Royal complimented him on both his skill, acrobatics and flair for showmanship, telling him that he had the makings of a great wrestler. 

Gordie is inspired by Brock's fighting style and aspires to learn from him.

Coalossal is Gordie's main during the PML. 

Milo's Eldegoss - Pokémon Masters EX

Partners for a long time, Milo loves his Eldegoss and is very grateful for all his help; both in his Gym battles and down on the farm. 

Since arriving on Pasio, he noticed that Eldegoss's cotton was looking "more beautiful than ever." He believed this was due to the changes in environment between Galar and the island.

Ecruteak Gym - Pokémon Masters EX

Ecruteak Gym often attracts those who wish to attain mystical and occult powers. Among those seeking to train under Morty, the gym's leader, are mediums and the Hex Maniac community. He is excited about this, believing that they liven up the place.

After hearing some people talking about how they find the Ecruteak Gym a little scary, Morty considered brightening up the entryway with a nice flower arrangement. 

Morty's Ho-Oh - Pokémon Masters EX

Meeting them on Pasion, Morty believed their encounter and eventual friendship was a miracle. 

He would often get so excited while training with them, that he would lose track of time, training well into the night. Because of this, they worry about him, fearing that he gets too hasty and overworks himself.

Ho-Oh decides to help put Morty at ease, leading him to a quiet, calming place, where he could just breathe and focus on himself. 

Morty's Gengar - Pokémon Masters EX

When Morty travelled to Pasio to compete in the PML, he decided to leave Gengar behind, hoping to use the opportunity to get to know his Drifblim better.

Monty's Drifblim - Pokémon Masters EX

As part of their training back at Ecruteak Gym, Morty would try to detect his presence, closing his eyes and trying to sense where he is.

Morty admires Drifblim, and secretly wishes to be more like him - just drifting without a care wherever the wind takes me. However, his training, discipline and drive to find Ho-Oh prevent him from doing so. 

He brought him to Pasio to compete in the Pokémon Masters League, hoping it would help them grow even closer.

Durla - Original Timeline - Young Justice: Phantoms

In the 31st century, ten years after General Zod and his Kryptonian army were released from the Phantom Zone, Durla was conquered and enslaved. 

Because of this, a time-displaced Chameleon Boy, a member of the Legion of Superheroes and native of the planet, had reservations about releasing Zod in 2020, fearing they would enact this a century earlier than in the previous, untampered timeline.

Durla - Young Justice: Phantoms

On September 16th 2020, as a reward for loyal service to Apokolips, Grayven—acting with Darkseid’s authority—gifted Durla to Ma'alefa'ak, aka M'comm M'orzz, and the A'ashenn who followed him.

Satisfied with the planet, M'orzz began plans to repopulate and establish it as a new home for his people.
