THE WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE

Cast of Characters

PART IV

by Win Scott Eckert

Following is a list of characters or sub-universes encompassed within The Wold Newton Universe, along with general dates or known periods of operation. Many on the list were originally placed in the Universe by Philip José Farmer (this is not intended to be an all-inclusive list - see Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage). I have added many more through their involvement in crossover stories with Farmer's original Wold Newton characters.

Members of the Wold Newton Family:

Mr. Farmer's original Wold Newton Family Trees (from Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life) are online in graphic format. These family trees are the starting point for the extended universe described on this site.

ITALICS denote a character who was originally established by Philip José Farmer to be

• an ancestor of other Wold Newton Family members (such as Solomon Kane)

• present at the Wold Newton meteor strike (such as Sir Percy Blakeney)

• an actual member of the Wold Newton mutant Family.

  * Established by Mr. Farmer as a Wold Newton Family member, either in his biographies, or other books or articles

  ** Present at Wold Newton meteor strike

  *** Mentioned in Mr. Farmer's biographies or books, but not necessarily a Wold Newton Family member, such as Victor Frankenstein I and Sexton Blake

ITALICS also designate characters

• that Rick Lai postulated were Wold Newton Family members in his article The Secret History of Captain Nemo (such as Dr. James Noel and Dominick Medina)

• that I have added through crossovers, who, by descent, must be Wold Newton Family members (examples are Rasputin, Raffles Holmes, Archie Goodwin, Creighton Holmes, Shang Chi, Clive Reston, Dawn Drummond-Clayton, Kent Lane, Ching Yao Chang, Hsu-Tei, Clark Savage IV, Pam Savage Hazzard, Spencer Holmes, James Suzuki, and Spock of Vulcan)

• who are new members of the Wold Newton Family Tree and have been added to the Newtonverse on the basis of conjectural and speculative links, much like the scholarship that Farmer himself performed in Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage. These conjectural extensions appear in Articles or Chronologies on this site, or, in the main, on two other sites: Dennis Power's The Secret History of the Wold Newton Universe and Mark Brown's Wold Newton Chronicles. Examples of these characters are Charlie Chan, Mack Bolan, Shrinking Violet Holmes, Nellie Gray, Modesty Blaise, Spenser, and Kinsey Millhone.

Clicking on a link for an in-depth article will take the reader to the relevant section of the Articles page on this site, or to the correct article on Dennis Power's Secret History site, Mark Brown's Chronicles site, or various other sites.
