Not every contribution arrives as a pull request. Some of the most useful work here has been somebody reading a page carefully and saying what is missing from it.
Austin Canady
Read the catalogue more closely than anyone outside it, and sent a list every time he found a hole.
He started with three names. Danny Rand was not here, and neither were Hector Ayala or Angela del Toro, and he said so. That was the first sign that the character coverage was not merely unfinished but thin in a way nobody inside the project had noticed.
Then he sent a list of about ninety more. Working through it took this catalogue from a hundred and twenty-three people to well over two hundred, and not one entry on that list turned out to be a matter of taste. The Netflix street level, the Fox mutants, the Asgardian court, the cosmic tier, the monsters, the agents: every group he named was a real gap.
He is also the reason several things here are organisations rather than people. He noticed that some of what he had listed were groups, which is why the Hand, the Warriors Three, the Black Order, the Eternals, the Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, the New Mutants and the Inhuman Royal Family have entries of their own.

He asked why the Spider-Verse films were catalogued and none of their people were, and made the argument rather than just the request: Miguel O’Hara naming Earth-199999, and Donald Glover reprising his role from Spider-Man: Homecoming inside an animated film. Both are recorded here now, with sources.
And he said the emblems were too plain and that too many looked alike. Checking that turned up a real bug, where two parts of the design system were writing to the same custom property and knocking the generated marks out to black, and then a rebuild of the generator so that a character without an authored glyph still gets a mark that belongs to them.
The mark above is not from that generator. It is drawn by hand in
src/lib/sigils.ts, on the same terms as every character glyph in this
project: a web of twelve strands and three rings computed around the centre,
with the eyes of the mask he wears as an avatar over it, in one colour, in the
same frame. Nothing in it is traced from anything.
If you report something that is wrong or missing and it changes the catalogue, you belong on this page. If you are here and would rather not be, say so and it will be changed without discussion.
