EDITH Marvel corpus
202,171 cleaned records - characters, teams, locations, items, events, comics - derived from Marvel Database (marvel.fandom.com) and English Wikipedia, crawled 2026-09-04 via the MediaWiki API.
Used by https://github.com/Tomionkkas/edith for two things: training the EDITH model, and building the BM25 retrieval index the terminal answers from. The index is not distributed - it is a pickle, unpickling executes arbitrary code, and it rebuilds from this corpus in about thirty seconds.
Shape
Each record is two layers. Schema lines above - Page:, Created by:,
First appearance:, Real name:, Codename:, Kind:, Reality: - and prose
below, under History:. The retrieval system reads the first half; the model
was trained on both.
Alternate continuities carry their reality in the headline:
Doctor Strange (Earth-199999) against a plain Doctor Strange, which is
Earth-616, the unmarked default.
Known defects, measured
- ~2.7% headline collisions where the source page states no reality
;inside[[links]]splits a field (~0.07% of records)- 25 malformed
Reality:lists - 34 records open on a bare pronoun
