Broichan

A 6th century Celtic wizard documented by Adomnán of Iona, with magical abilities and connections to spiritual or supernatural forces. (Note: 1. Power tier should be Ancient, as a wizard serving a king and having connections to a saint is more deity-level than primordial. 2. Add sensory cues based on the fact that Adomnán wrote about Broich)

Brokkr

Brokkr is a dwarf and master smith's assistant in Norse mythic tradition, famed for operating the bellows while his brother (Eitri/Sindri) performed magical forging in the contest that produced Mjölnir, Draupnir, and Gullinbursti. He is best known from the Skáldskaparmál episode in which Loki, as a gadfly, tries to disrupt his bellows work and Brokkr later sews Loki's lips shut when Loki evades a wager.

Bromius

Bromius (Ancient Greek: Βρόμιος) is an epithet and identity-state of the god Dionysus/Bacchus in ancient Greek religion, signifying 'noisy', 'roaring', or 'boisterous'. In some modern readings of fragmentary Orphic material (notably summaries of the Derveni papyrus), Bromius is discussed by scholarship as a name applied to a divine figure placed early in an alternative cosmogony.

Bronze Tiger

Bronze Tiger (Benjamin 'Ben' Turner) is a fictional DC Comics character: an African-American, world-class martial artist, operative, and recurring figure who has served as assassin, mercenary, instructor, and member/second-in-command of Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad. Created in the Bronze Age of comics, his history includes training under O-Sensei, capture and brainwashing by the League of Assassins, and later rehabilitation and multimedia adaptations.

Broteas

Broteas (Ancient Greek: Βροτέας, lit. 'mortal' or 'man') is a mythic human figure in Greek tradition, presented as a son of Tantalus and member of that cursed house. He is credited in local tradition with carving the ancient rock relief of the Great Mother (Cybele) on Mount Sipylus near Magnesia ad Sipylum and is also variously narrated as a hunter punished by Artemis or listed among the Lapiths slain in the Lapith–centaur battle.

Brother Blood (Sebastian Blood mantle)

A recurring fictional cult-leader mantle in DC Comics borne by multiple individuals (notably men named Sebastian Blood and later incarnations) who lead the Church/Cult of Blood; the role combines political-theocratic leadership, ritual relics, and supernatural powers tied to lineage and artifacts.

Brother Jonathan

Brother Jonathan is a literary and pictorial personification and stock character representing New Englanders (and at times the United States) in 18th–19th century Anglo‑American print culture. He functions rhetorically in satire, political commentary, and self‑identification rather than as a supernatural being.

Brotherhood of Evil

A recurring supervillain organization in DC Comics, introduced in Doom Patrol #86 (1964). Led by the Brain and frequently allied with Monsieur Mallah and other powered operatives, the Brotherhood functions as an enduring antagonist faction opposing the Doom Patrol, New Teen Titans, and occasionally the Justice League.

Brotherhood of Mutants

A recurring organized team of superpowered mutants in Marvel Comics who oppose the X-Men and pursue mutant-centered political and militant goals. Formed in the 1960s and reconstituted in multiple incarnations, the Brotherhood ranges from a band of supervillains to a political/militant movement advocating mutant supremacy.

Brown Lady of Raynham Hall

A recurring house-ghost reported at Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England, traditionally identified with Dorothy Walpole and famed for a claimed 1936 photograph of a female apparition on the main staircase. Accounts range from 19th-century eyewitness reports to 20th-century photographic claims; the case has been subject to later re-examination and debate.
