Arkon is presented in Marvel Comics as born of noble lineage on the extra-dimensional world Polemachus, a realm whose culture glorifies warfare. He rose to become the Imperion (ruler) of Polemachus' largest nation and its greatest warrior. Much of his narrative motivation derives from Polemachus' dependence on concentric energy rings that provide the world’s light and heat; when those rings begin to disintegrate or fail, Arkon crosses dimensions (notably to Earth) to seek technological or energetic means to restore them, sometimes by recruiting or coercing Earth scientists and resources.
Arkon is depicted as a muscular, sword-and-planet style warrior-leader whose personal physique exceeds even the already enhanced attributes common to his people. He commonly bears a shield and a set of three stylized energy bolt weapons (described in sources as golden, scarlet, and black bolts) and fights with sword-and-sorcery martial aesthetics akin to John Carter/Conan archetypes. He rides large reptilian mounts—variously bipedal, quadrupedal, and sometimes winged—that resemble dinosaur-like creatures. Visual presentation emphasizes warrior regalia and martial bearing rather than elaborate mystical iconography.
Arkon and his people possess superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and durability; Arkon himself is said to be more highly developed than most of his race and also possesses an accelerated healing factor. He is an extraordinary hand-to-hand combatant and swordsman, a cunning military strategist, and an expert with his signature throwing energy-bolt weapons. The golden bolt is used to open gateways between dimensional planes, while the scarlet and black bolts function as offensive devices that generate powerful explosive blasts on impact. He commands armies, mounts reptilian war-beasts into battle, and conducts interdimensional campaigns—sometimes kidnapping or coercing individuals (e.g., Scarlet Witch, scientists) to further Polemachus’ needs. Narrative episodes also record periods when he is affected by an "evil madness" or memory-loss when displaced.

Arizelus
Arizelus (also attested Arizelos, Latinized Arizela) is attested in Greek literary and onomastic sources as a personal name borne by mortal figures. In epic genealogy he is known only as the father (patronym) of the warrior Harpalion; in later literature the name appears as the father of an orator Timarchus. No supernatural attributes are recorded.
Arjasp
Arjasp (Arjāsp) is a legendary Iranian antagonist attested in the Avesta, Middle Persian literature, and the epic Shahnameh. In earlier Zoroastrian hymns he appears as leader of the hostile Xyaona tribe opposed to Vishtaspa/Goshtasp's adoption of Zoroastrianism; in later Pahlavi and epic tradition he is historicized as a Turanian king and military rival who besieges Iranian strongholds and is slain by the hero Esfandiyar.
Arjuna
Arjuna is the central heroic prince of the Pandava brothers in the Sanskrit epic the Mahabharata. Son of Indra and Kunti, he is famed as the preeminent archer, recipient of divine weapons and teachings (notably Krishna's Bhagavad Gita), and a principal human exemplar through whom questions of duty (dharma), ritual kingship, and the human–divine relationship are explored.
Arkan Sonney
A Manx folkloric 'fairy animal' whose name is also the everyday Manx word for hedgehog; in tradition it appears as a white pig that brings good fortune to those who see or catch it but causes misfortune if held too long.
Arkaroo
Arkaroo is a primordial ancestral serpent of the Dreaming associated with the northern Flinders Ranges (Ikara/Wilpena Pound) in South Australia. In local creation narratives it drank the waters of Lake Frome, carved valleys by reclining in the mountains, and left waterholes where it rested; the being is commemorated in place-names and rock art at sites such as Arkaroo Rock.
Arke
Arke (Ancient Greek Ἄρκη, Árkē; variant Arce) is a minor Greek messenger-divinity, daughter of Thaumas, who sided with the Titans in the Titanomachy. After the Titans' defeat she was punished by Zeus — her wings were cut off and she was cast into Tartarus — and in some traditions her severed wings were later given to Peleus and Thetis and then to Achilles.
Armandine
Armandine is not attested in the supplied sources as a folkloric or supernatural entity. The string 'Armandine' appears only as a modern feminine personal name, a toponym, and as the name of fictional characters in contemporary media.
Armenus
A mortal figure and Argonaut in Greek mythology, participating in the quest for the Golden Fleece. Relatively unknown in the larger mythological narrative. (Note: * Power tier should be changed to Primordial is incorrect; since Armenus is a mortal figure in human mythology. * Add sensory cues: Since there's no physical description available, it could say "None )
Armilus
Armilus is an eschatological anti-messiah figure in medieval Jewish apocalyptic literature who rises at the end of days to conquer the nations, persecute Israel, and is ultimately destroyed by the Jewish Messiah and divine intervention. He functions as a foil to messianic figures and is variously portrayed with syncretic origins and differing physical descriptions across sources.
Arnaeus (Irus)
Arnaeus, commonly called Irus in English translations, is a mortal beggar who appears in Book XVIII of Homer's Odyssey as a hanger‑on in the hall of Odysseus on Ithaca. He functions in the narrative as a social type and a foil for the disguised Odysseus, provoking a public fight that illustrates themes of hospitality, social disorder, and appearances versus reality.
Arnakuagsak
Arnakuagsak is an Inuit sea-mother deity worshipped primarily in Greenland, described as an 'old woman from the sea' who is responsible for ensuring hunters' success and the health and strength of the people. She is treated in sources as essentially equivalent to related sea-mother figures in Canadian and Alaskan Inuit traditions.
Arnapkapfaaluk
A fearsome sea-being of the Coronation Gulf Copper Inuit who controls access to seals and other marine mammals; she withholds game as punishment for taboos or indiscretions and thus governs hunters' success.
