Joash (Yoash / Jehoash)

Joash (Hebrew Yəhōʾāš; Yoas, Jehoash) is a biblical/historical figure attested in Israelite tradition primarily as a king of Judah (often called Jehoash) who was hidden and raised in the Temple and as a name attested in priestly lists as a possible High Priest. Sources present him as a human royal and/or priestly officeholder active in the monarchic period and closely associated with the Temple and the priest Jehoiada.

Joazar ben Boethus

Joazar ben Boethus was a member of the priestly Boethus family who served as High Priest in the late Second Temple period (late 1st century BCE / early 1st century CE). He is presented in the sources as a historical, institutional figure involved in priestly succession and Roman-era politics rather than a supernatural being.

Jobar

Jobar (Arabic: جَوْبَر, romanized Jawbar) is primarily a historic village/neighbourhood on the outskirts of Damascus, Syria, noted for its long-standing Jewish synagogue and gardens; in a few modern, derivative contexts the name has been applied to fictional or rhetorical 'monster' figures, but those uses are uncorroborated in the supplied sources.

Johanan (High Priest) (tradition)

The supplied sources do not document a supernatural or priestly entity named Johanan; instead they treat Yohanan/Johanan as a Hebrew male given name (יוֹחָנָן / יְהוֹחָנָן) meaning "YHWH is gracious." Modern media references to individuals named Johanan (e.g., Johanan Diaz) appear in archive listings but do not present the name as a mythic being.

Johann Georg Faust

Johann Georg Faust is a historically attested itinerant early modern practitioner — variously an alchemist, astrologer, physician, teacher and performer — whose life and unusual death were rapidly mythologized in chapbooks and later literature (notably Marlowe and Goethe). Documentary records show a learned background and contested reputation; later pamphlet tradition transformed him into the legendary 'Faust' figure associated with diabolism.

John Dough

John Dough is a fictional life-sized gingerbread man created by L. Frank Baum in his 1906 children's fantasy novel John Dough and the Cherub. Brought to life when an immortality elixir is accidentally mixed into his batter, he functions as an animate confection with social agency who travels, befriends companions, sacrifices for others, and ultimately becomes a king within Baum's Oz-adjacent imagined world.

John Fare

John Fare is a modern art‑world legend: a fictional or legendary performance‑artist figure whose circulated narrative depicts staged robotic surgery and progressive self‑amputation as artworks. The tale originated in late‑1960s print, was heavily embellished in early‑1970s retellings, and has since been reused by artists, galleries, and subcultural publications as a conceptual device to probe bodily sacrifice, authenticity, and martyrdom in avant‑garde practice.

John Hyrcanus

John Hyrcanus (Yoḥānān Hurqanos) was a historical Jewish high priest and Hasmonean ruler of Judea (born c.164 BCE; reigned 134–104 BCE) who combined religious and secular authority, expanded Hasmonean territory, and negotiated with Hellenistic powers. He is presented in the sources as a human political and cultic leader rather than a supernatural being.

John Ryker

John Ryker is a fictional, non‑superpowered antagonist in Marvel Comics who functions as a high‑ranking U.S. Army general and later corporate executive. He uses military, scientific, and corporate resources to hunt, experiment on, and attempt to weaponize gamma‑irradiated individuals (notably the Hulk and related subjects).
