About
This resource offers detailed general information on Marvel superheroes and supervillains. The dataset aims to provide extensive coverage of character variants existing across the Marvel Multiverse, built through scraping data from Marvel Fandom. Containing over 90,000 entries, it provides substantial insight into character identities, affiliations, and core attributes across various universes.
Columns

- Identity: Records whether the character maintains a secret or public identity.
- Gender: Notes the character's stated gender.

Distribution
The dataset is typically structured as a CSV file (
marvel_characters_dataset.csv) and has a file size of approximately 17.53 MB. It contains over 92,600 entries distributed across 14 columns. Core columns like PageID and URL contain a very high number of unique values, reflecting the large number of distinct character entries. The most represented Universe is Earth-616 (36% of records). It should be noted that physical measurement columns (Height and Weight) have a high percentage of missing values (94% and 95%, respectively).Usage
This data is highly suitable for statistical analysis of fictional populations, examining character origins, and understanding team dynamics within the Marvel cannon. Ideal applications include creating visualisations of character demographics, building models to analyse the distribution of variants across the Multiverse, or conducting research into popular culture trends relating to superheroes and villains.
Coverage
The scope is purely fictional, covering the multitude of characters, superheroes, and supervillains existing across the Marvel Multiverse, with specific focus on universes such as Earth-616 and Earth-199999. The character records include specific attributes related to identity, gender, and life status. The data collection is expected to be updated annually.
