The name Leucon (Λεύκων) appears in multiple, discrete traditions rather than as a single origin tale. In genealogical mythic material Leucon is recorded as a son of Themisto by either Athamas or Poseidon; he is listed with children (Erythras, Pisidice, Hyperippe and Euippe) and is said in the collected summaries to have died of a sickness. Separately, Leucon is named among the dogs of Actaeon in the Actaeon myth-cycle. In Plutarch's Life of Aristides (as summarized in modern reference) Leucon is one of seven heroes whom, according to an oracle, the Athenians had to sacrifice to in order to overcome their foes. In historical registers Leucon I is attested as a Bosporan ruler (c. 410–349 BC) in later references. The supplied sources treat these as onomastic occurrences—distinct bearers of the same name—rather than as manifestations of a single supernatural persona.
No consistent physical description is supplied for any mythic Leucon in the provided sources. The genealogical/mortal Leucon is reported only by name with familial relations and the statement that he died of a sickness; there is no bodily description. The entry identifying Leucon as one of Actaeon's dogs provides only the name within the canine roster and no descriptive details. Leucon I (the historical ruler) is referenced as a monarch by name in modern historical summaries but the supplied excerpts do not include a physical portrayal. The scientific usage 'leucon' or 'leuconoid' refers to a morphological canal-and-chamber system in sponges, a descriptive anatomical term rather than an appearance of a being.
The sources do not ascribe supernatural powers or agency to Leucon as a unified entity. Mythic and genealogical treatments record familial, civic, or cultic roles: the genealogical Leucon appears as a named descendant in heroic-age genealogies; as one of Actaeon's dogs the name functions as part of a mythic catalogue; and in Plutarch's anecdote Leucon is listed among heroes to whom sacrifice was directed by an oracle—indicating a cultic or propitiatory function in that specific civic narrative. Separately, the anatomical sense of 'leucon/leuconoid' denotes a functional canal and flagellated-chamber system in sponges (a biological, non-agentive function). No source in the supplied material attributes magical powers, behaviours, or capacities typical of a defined supernatural creature to any Leucon-name bearer.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.
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.
58 Concordia
58 Concordia is a fairly large main-belt asteroid orbiting the Sun, discovered in 1860 and named after the Roman goddess Concordia. Astronomical sources classify it as a C-type (carbonaceous) body with a multi-year orbital period and measurable rotation and pole orientations.
9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9
An anonymous Reddit screen name and online persona used by the author of the Interface series, a multipart speculative-horror narrative posted in short installments across Reddit in 2016. The name functions as the signature of an authorial identity and as a focal label for a fandom that created archives, a subreddit, and a wiki documenting the story and its fictional phenomena (notably entities called "flesh interfaces").
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.
Aba (disambiguation / name-form)
Aba is a polyvalent name-form attested across many unrelated contexts (place names, personal names, animal names, and brief mythological listings). The provided sources do not support a single, coherent supernatural entity called "Aba" and offer no descriptive or ritual material for such a being.
Abarbarea
Abarbarea is a name attested in classical Greek and Roman sources for freshwater nymphs (naiads). The name appears for at least two individual mythic figures — a naiad wife of Bucolion and a naiad counted among ancestors of the Tyrians — and Hesychius records plural forms that may indicate the name was also used as a class-name (Abarbareai / Abarbalaiai).
Abas
Abas (Ancient Greek: Ἄβας, gen.: Ἄβαντος) is not a single mythic being but a recurring personal name borne by multiple mortals and minor mythic figures in Greek epic and genealogical traditions — kings, founders, seers, warriors, attendants, a centaur, and a youth transformed by a goddess. The name is glossed in the sources as 'guileless' or 'good-hearted' and appears across Argive, Theban, Trojan, Euboean, and other local cycles.
Abderus
Abderus (Ancient Greek: Ἄβδηρος, romanized Ábdēros) is a mortal heroic figure in Greek myth closely associated with Heracles, remembered as the youth left in charge of the Mares of Diomedes who was killed by them. He functions as an eponymous local/divine-hero ancestor for the city of Abdera and received funerary commemoration and athletic agones at his tomb.
Abena Mansa
A name attested in a single contemporary Ghanaian blog anecdote as a 'mysterious being'; available sources do not establish Abena Mansa as a coherent, traditional supernatural figure or provide corroborating ethnographic detail.
