Salvaged Universe/Wonderman

Wonderman is an American comic book series published by IDW Publishing as part of its Salvaged Universe line. The comic is loosely inspired by the public domain hero of a similar name, Wonder Man, who was published by Fox Features and only ever made one appearance, the company having been sued over Wonder Man's similarities to Superman.

Main

 * Ted Carson/Wonderman - the main protagonist of the series, Ted Carson is a television journalist who was infamous for his weak will. After failing to stop a criminal due to his cowardice, he travels the world to find himself and is eventually met by a Tibetan mystic who trained Carson for around a year to toughen him up before awarding him a magic ring that turns him into the mightiest man alive so long as he is wearing it. With a renewed sense of self, he returned home, swearing to always do good and never be a pushover again.

Supporting

 * IBC Incorporated - the International Broadcasting Channel, Carson's employers based out of the fictional Brass City in the United States.
 * Archibald Jones
 * Brenda Lee Jones
 * Larry Connors - a rather cocky yet somewhat friendly investigative journalist who claims to be Ted's best friend, although he finds Wonderman to be an instigator for the massive amount of supervillains in Brass City.
 * The Mystic - Carson's mentor and the man who gave him his magic ring. He is an immortal Tibetan man with a mysterious past, which is explored throughout the series, revealing that he is actually immortal and he had stolen the magic ring hundreds of years ago from its rightful owners, who he deemed unworthy of its power. Though hard to read and sometimes even hard to understand, he seems to be a generally benevolent figure.

Antagonists

 * Thubten/Eclipse - a more aggressive and malevolent Tibetan who was the Mystic's original protégée before having his ring taken away due to being seen as unworthy. Due to this, he makes a deal with a dark god to become all powerful, soon arriving to modern day and clashing with Wonderman.
 * Nikos Malloglou - a Greek playboy who runs the Epsilon Company as he seems to be wanting to save the world as in actuality, he is obsessed with becoming a God, soon learning of Wonderman and realizing that he may be the key to Godhood, becoming obsessed with him.
 * Zoe Pines/Majesty - a seemingly benevolent art collector who is Brass City's most infamous mob boss as she has a massive stranglehold on crime and soon begins to despise Wonderman for loosening her grip.
