Rick

Possessing four arms, Rick was the bartender at Jazzrat's. He was working when Darrow met with Giselle Villard.

   Several months later he was present during a very busy night he briefly chatted with Thierry Chevalier about his art and about Giselle.

   Many more months later he was working on the night when the Infernal Minion Domo shot up the bar, and was almost slain by one of Domo's shots when a projectile flew straight at his face, but was saved at the last moment when Genevieve Villard magically blocked the bullet less than an inch from his spectacles, prompting Rick to exclaim to the "Seven Spirits!" Moments later the Villard siblings transported themselves and Domo away.

Comments: As noted above, someone editing comics.org thinks that this four-armed bartender is the flipper-limbed boy from Detective Comics I#410. That's not the case. For a start, the guy in Jazzrat's is named Rick, and the one in the Oblivion Bar is Edward Deacon. Rick has four arms, Edward has flippers for limbs and is telekinetic. Oh, and they LOOK NOTHING ALIKE!

Band

Jazzrat's band consisted of a demon and a blond man; the former most often played a double bass, while the latter usually had a trumpet. They were playing when Giselle met with Darrow, and later were also in attendance when Jazzrat's was busy with their interdimensional visitors. Some time later, on the night the Good-Time Gang were in attendance, the demon was playing a brass instrument (probably a trumpet) while the man was on a saxophone.

--Mystic II#7, 15, 22

Abel

The first murder victim, and the storytelling caretaker of the Dreaming's House of Secrets, Abel visited Jazzrat's alongside his brother/slayer Cain.

Comments: DC's Abel, one of the company's "horror hosts" who presented macabre tales, and later a supporting cast member of the Sandman title. The original Biblical version debuted in Picture Stories from the Bible Old Testament#3 (March 1943), but the horror host version by Mark Hanerfeld, Bill Draut and Joe Orlando didn't show up until DC Special#4 (July-September 1969). 

--Mystic II#15

Alphonse

Alphonse, pet gork of artist Thierry Chevalier, accompanied his master to Jazzrat's and watched as Thierry conversed with Giselle Villard.

Comments: Alphonse is in multiple issues of Mystic as a supporting character, so he should get his own profile someday.

   Despite the green fur and scaly skin, gorks are basically dogs to squit's cats, with gorks usually chasing squits.

--Mystic II#15

Bat-Mite

The 5th Dimensional Imp Bat-Mite visited Jazzrat's, floating around above the rest of the clientele.

Comments: DC's Batman uber-fan Bat-Mite, who first appeared in Detective Comics I#267 (May 1959) by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff.

--Mystic II#15

Cain

Cain, the first murderer and storytelling caretaker of the House of Mystery, visited Jazzrat's with his brother/victim Abel.

Comments: DC's Cain, one of the company's "horror hosts" who presented macabre tales, and later a supporting cast member of the Sandman title. The original Biblical version debuted in Picture Stories from the Bible Old Testament#3 (March 1943), but the horror host version created by Bob Haney, Jack Sparling and Joe Orlando didn't show up until House of Mystery I#175 (August 1968). 

--Mystic II#15

Thierry Chevalier

Believing his acquaintance Giselle Villard permanently lost to the machinations of Darrow, Thierry Chevalier dropped by Jazzrat's for a drink and drew a portrait of Giselle from memory while sitting at the bar. However, his musings were interrupted by Giselle herself, not lost as he had feared, and in Jazzrat's specifically to look for him. She apologized to him for not reciprocating his past kindness and stated that her life had become very complicated ever since gained the Sigil. Stating that it would be easier to show him rather than try to explain, she asked him to accompany her to the moon where she could show him what she meant; he agreed.

   Some weeks later, by which time he and Giselle had become intimate only for her to ghost him, Thierry found her at Jazzrat's partying with a group of old friends Giselle had nicknamed the Good-Time Gang.

Comments: Thierry is in multiple issues of Mystic as a major supporting character, so he should get his own profile someday.

--Mystic II#15

Clea

The sorceress Clea visited Jazzrat's with her lover Doctor Strange, but seemed to annoy him by smiling at Doctor Fate across the bar from her.

Comments: Marvel's Clea, who has her own appendix profile and so is only listed here for identification purposes and because that profile doesn't mention this at-the-time non-Marvel cameo.

--Mystic II#15

John Constantine

Cynical British mage John Constantine visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: One of the stars that launched DC's Vertigo line of comics, Constantine is only seen from the back but is recognizable from his hair and trenchcoat; arguably it could be Ambrose Pierce (DC, Stanley and His Monster II#2) or Jack Carter (Wildstorm, Planetary#7), as both of those are expys of Constantine anyway, but it seems way more likely that this was meant to be the original, who debuted in Saga of the Swamp Thing II#37 (June 1985), by Alan Moore and Rick Veitch.

--Mystic II#15

Darrow

Secretly one of the godlike First, Darrow had a clandestine meeting with fellow First Ingra in a private room at Jazzrat's, where he was ordered to gain control over the Sigil-bearer Giselle Villard. After Ingra left Darrow magically sent Giselle an invitation to meet him at Jazzrat's, and he took her out on a date.

Comments: Though only seen in Jazzrat's in Mystic II#7, Darrow actually debuted a few issues earlier, in Mystic II#3, and was a major villain through several issues of the series. He'll probably get his own Appendix profile eventually.

--Mystic II#7, 8

Deadman

Deadman, the ghost of stuntman Boston Brand, visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Deadman was introduced in Strange Adventures I#205 (October 1967), by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino.

--Mystic II#15

Death

Death of the Endless hung out at Jazzrat's.

Comments: While DC depicted various incarnations of Death earlier, the best known version and the one depicted here was introduced in Sandman II#8 (August 1989), by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg. This isn't the only time she's been seen to interact with Marvel characters, so she might get her own Appendix profile one day covering all her Marvel-related appearances.

--Mystic II#15

The Demon Etrigan

The rhyming demon Etrigan visited Jazzrat's and hung out with Dormammu.

Comments: Created by Jack Kirby, Etrigan debuted in Demon I#1 (September 1972).

--Mystic II#15

Diablo

Alchemist Diablo attended Jazzrat's, studiously ignoring the nearby Doctor Strange.

Comments: Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Diablo debuted in Fantastic Four I#30 (June 1964). As a major Marvel character he's been profiled in the Marvel handbooks, and will get a full Appendix profile eventually.

--Mystic II#15

Doctor Fate

Doctor Fate visited Jazzrat's and exchanged glances across the bar with Clea, the girlfriend of Doctor Strange.

Comments: Debuting in More Fun Comics#55 (May 1940), Doctor Fate was created by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman.

   At the time Mystic II#15 came out the current incumbent as Doctor Fate at DC was not Kent Nelson (the original) but Hector Hall, formerly known as Silver Scarab and Sandman.

--Mystic II#15

Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange visited Jazzrat's with his lover Clea; he seemed somewhat unhappy, perhaps because Clea was smiling at Doctor Fate.

Comments: Created by Steve Ditko, Doctor Strange debuted in Strange Tales I#110 (April 1963). As a major Marvel character he's been profiled in the Marvel handbooks, and may get a full Appendix profile eventually.

--Mystic II#15

Domo

An Infernal Minion whose master was slain by Giselle Villard, Domo was left purposeless, something that was anathema to his species' nature. Advised by his cousin Momo that Giselle often hung out at Jazzrat's, Domo went there to seeking to become her servant. When she declined the offer he took this as evidence that she was testing him and proceeded to destroy the bar until she teleported him to her sanctum on the moon. Realizing that he would die if he failed to find a master, she showed pity on him and put him in charge of maintenance at her sanctum.

Comments: Though he only visited Jazzrat's in Mystic II#30, Domo first appeared (unnamed) in #22.

--Mystic II#30

Dormammu

Dark Dimension despot Dormammu visited Jazzrat's and sat at a table with the demon Etrigan.

Comments: Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Dormammu debuted in Strange Tales I#126 (August 1964). As a major Marvel character he's been profiled in the Marvel handbooks, and will get a full Appendix profile eventually.

--Mystic II#15

Dream

The Endless Dream, a.k.a. Morpheus, a.k.a. the Sandman, ruler of the Dreaming, visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg, Dream first appeared in DC's Sandman II#1 (January 1989).

--Mystic II#15

Floronic Man

Jason Woodrue, a.k.a. the Floronic Man, a.k.a. Floro, visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Created by Gardner Fox and Gil Kane, the Floronic Man debuted in Atom#1 (July 1962).

--Mystic II#15

Gandalf

The Istari Gandalf dropped in to Jazzrat's for a drink, and sat at the counter next to Wotan.

Comments: Gandalf has a full appendix profile which includes this appearance. He debuted in J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 novel The Hobbit. The depiction of him in Mystic II#15 seems to be based of how he appeared in Eclipse Comics' 1989 comic adaptation of that novel, noticeably with a very similar hat and mustache.

--Mystic II#15

Good-Time Gang

The "Good-Time Gang" were a trio of friends (Guy, the brunette Annette and blonde Lorraine) who were old partying acquaintances of Giselle Villard. She went with them and Lorraine's new boyfriend, Detective Yves Manion, to Jazzrat's, where they ran into Giselle's sometimes paramour Thierry Chevalier.

Comments: Though they visited Jazzrat's in Mystic II#22, the group first appeared in Mystic II#21.

--Mystic II#22

Ingra

The leader of House Sinister, one of the two rival factions within the godlike First, Ingra and an unidentified minion visited Darrow on the planet Ciress, meeting him in a private room at Jazzrat's. She berated him for failing to get close to Sigil-Bearer Giselle Villard, noting that another member of the First had died while slaying another Sigil-Bearer, making it a priority to get Giselle under their influence. Ordering Darrow to do so or else, Ingra and her minion departed.

Comments: Though she only visited Jazzrat's in Mystic II#7, Ingra made many other appearances across Crossgen titles, beginning in Crossgen Chronicles#1 (June 2000). She will probably get her own Appendix profile down the line.

--Mystic II#7

Klarion

Klarion Bleak, a.k.a. Klarion the Witch-Boy visited Jazzrat's; either the bar was lax on underage customers, or Klarion had successfully proven that he was centuries old despite his childlike appearance.

Comments: Klarion was created by Jack Kirby and debuted in DC's Demon I#7 (March 1973).

--Mystic II#15

Mandrake the Magician

Mandrake the Magician visited Jazzrat's and sat at a table near the band.

   Many months later he or someone dressed very similarly was present at Jazzrat's just before the Infernal Minion Domo shot up the place.

Comments: Mandrake was created by Lee Falk and debuted in his own newspaper strip on June 11th 1934.

  It's feasible that it wasn't Mandrake in Jazzrat's. His iconic look with a tuxedo and pencil mustache became so iconic that several subsequent characters aped this look, including Marvel's own Golden Age mystic Monako or Zatanna's father Zatara. However, since Mandrake remains the most famous of these characters, I think it's a fair bet that it was intended to be him in Jazzrat's.

  When he first appeared Mandrake didn't wear a bow tie like the man in Jazzrat's; rather, the red collar of his cloak was visible under his shirt collar. However, the version of Mandrake who appeared in the Defenders of the Earth cartoon had a bow tie, and that version was very much the one in the public consciousness at the time Mystic II#15 was published.

--Mystic II#15, 30

Detective Yves Manion

A corrupt cop, Yves Manion went to Jazzrat's with his new girlfriend Lorraine and her friends Giselle Villard, Annette and Guy.

Comments: Though he visited Jazzrat's in Mystic II#22, he first appeared in Mystic II#21.

--Mystic II#22

Mister Mxyzptlk

A 5th dimensional imp and frequent tormentor of Superman, Mister Mxyzptlk visited Jazzrat's and floated around above the band while carrying an entire bottle to drink from.

Comments: Mister Mxyztplk (note the letter order - TP - "Mix Yez Tip El Lick") was created by Jerry Siegel and Ira Yarbough and debuted in Superman I#30 (October 1944); like most Golden Age DC characters this was later retconned to be the Earth-2 version. Since it wasn't made clear when the comics switched Earths (as the idea that was what had happened didn't come into effect until later) there's debate when the Earth-1 version, Mister Mxyzptlk (PT - "Mix Yez Pit El Lick"), debuted, but Who's Who says Superman I#131 (August 1959), and that's certainly when the stories starting spelling his name that way. That said, there's also some evidence to support claims that all versions of the character are one and the same across the Omniverse.

   This isn't the only time he's interacted with versions of Marvel characters.

--Mystic II#15

Momo

Darrow's servant Momo accompanied his master to Jazzrat's when Darrow went there to meet Ingra, but was dismissed and told to wait outside the private room once she arrived.

   Many months later, after Giselle Villard defeated Darrow, Momo was visited by his cousin Domo, whose employer had been similarly destroyed by Giselle. Though Momo had found a new boss, Domo had not, and asked Momo for help locating Giselle; Momo informed Domo that she often hung out at Jazzrat's.

Comments: First appearing in Mystic II#4, Momo was revealed to be an Infernal Minion (so presumably some kind of demon) when he and Domo were revealed to be cousins in Mystic II#30. He'll probably get his own Appendix profile eventually.

--Mystic II#7

Narrator

The Narrator took a break from the Twilight Zone to visit Jazzrat's.

Comments: This being the Twilight Zone's Narrator isn't 100% confirmed, but the character in Jazzrat's being in black and white, and in a suit, fits.

   The Narrator debuted as a voice only character in The Twilight Zone's pilot episode "Where is Everybody?" on 2nd October 1959. The original Narrator was Westbrook Van Voorhis, well known as the time for narrating The March of Time radio and newsreels, but the "Voice of Doom" was recast before the episode aired, and replaced by show creator Rod Serling. As characters in the stories sometimes were able to hear the Narrator, and in a few cases even interacted with him, he was more than simply a host introducing the tales, but an in-universe character. In the final episode of Season 1, "A World of His Own," the Narrator made his first appearance in-story and was identified by one of the characters to be called Rod Serling in-universe too.

--Mystic II#15

Phantom Stranger

The mysterious being known as the Phantom Stranger visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Debuting in DC's The Phantom Stranger I#1 (August 1952), the Stranger was created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino.

   Clearly a party animal when not in his home multiverse, Phantom Stranger also showed up at Lilandra's inauguration party on the Shi'ar homeworld in X-Men I#125.

--Mystic II#15

Harry Potter

Ignoring underage drinking laws, teen wizard and Boy Who Lived Harry Potter dropped by Jazzrat's. Proving he had yet to hit puberty, he ignored the scantily clad Witchblade standing nearby and instead glanced at Gandalf, presumably mistaking the Middle Earth made for Hogwart's School headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

Comments: Created by J.K. Rowling, Harry debuted in the novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (a.k.a. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in U.S. printings), published 26th June 1997. 

   Harry also shows up with Gandalf in Nick Fury's Howling Commandos I#6 and then with his best friends Hermoine and Ron in New Excalibur#3.

--Mystic II#15

Promethea

The Sophie Bangs incarnation of Promethea visited Jazzrat's and conversed with the Scarlet Witch and Katrina Godliffe (the "medieval" Witchblade).

Comments: Created by Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III, Promethea first appeared in Wildstorm's Promethea#1 (August 1999), part of the America's Best Comics (ABC) imprint created for various Alan Moore titles. Promethea is a demi-goddess who has used various human hosts, and the one depicted in Mystic II#15 is Sophie Bangs, the modern day version.

--Mystic II#15

Raven

The half-demon sorceress Raven visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Introduced in DC Comics Presents#26 (October 1980) and created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, Raven (human alias Rachel Ross) was a mainstay of DC's New Teen Titans.

--Mystic II#15

Scarlet Witch

The mutant probability manipulator the Scarlet Witch visited Jazzrat's and chatted with Promethea and  Katrina Godliffe (the "medieval" Witchblade).

Comments: Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Scarlet Witch debuted in X-Men I#4 (March 1964). As a major Marvel character she's been profiled in the Marvel handbooks, and will get a full Appendix profile eventually.

--Mystic II#15

Seven Dwarfs

The Seven Dwarfs showed up to Jazzrat's to party.

Comments: The Seven Dwarfs originate from a German fairytale written down by the Brothers Grimm (Jacob and Wilhelm) and published on 20th December 1812 as Tale 53 "Sneewittchen" in their collection Children's and Household's Tales (later called Grimm's Fairy Tales). The Seven Dwarfs were nameless in the original versions, and first gained names - Blick, Flick, Glick, Snick, Plick, Whick and Quee - in a 1912 Broadway stage version by Winthrop Ames. However, the versions in Jazzrat's seem to visually match to the Disney versions - not perfectly, presumably to avoid Disney's ire, but still with visually distinctive flourishes that are unique to the Disney incarnations. I added numbers to the above image to make it clearer when discussing who is who. #1 with his glasses has to be Doc, the leader of the seven; #6 is very clearly the childlike Dopey. Less obvious, but still fairly certain, #2 who is visibly having a very good time is presumably Happy while #4 with his pursed lips is Grumpy. #3 and 5 are harder to match to two of the three remaining dwarfs, but I'd go with the slightly uncertain looking #5 being Bashful, and #3 being Sneezy; since neither look tired, I'm guessing Sleepy is the one missing, presumably off napping somewhere.

--Mystic II#15

Skitter

A squit, Skitter was Giselle Villard's pet/companion. When Giselle had been absent for a week, Skitter led Thierry Chevalier to Jazzrat's where they found her partying with her old friends, the "Good-Time Gang."

   Many months later Skitter accompanied Giselle to Jazzrat's to meet her sister Genevieve, and was present when the Infernal Minion Domo showed up and tried to prove himself to Giselle by shooting up the bar until Giselle teleported them all, Squit included, to her sanctum on the moon.

Comments: Though he didn't visit Jazzrat's until Mystic II#22, Skitter debuted in Mystic II#1, and was a major supporting character throughout the series. He'll presumably get an Appendix profile eventually.

   Squits were basically like cats to gork's dogs, with the latter normally chasing the former.

--Mystic II#22, 30

Spectre

The Spectre, God's spirit of vengeance, visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Created by Jerry Siegel and Bernard Baily, the Spectre debuted in More Fun Comics#52 (February 1940). At the time that Mystic II#15 came out, Hal Jordan had recently (Day of Judgment#5, November 1999) become the new Spectre, but he had a slightly different look, most notably wearing a green domino mask round his eyes, reminiscent of the one Jordan wore as Green Lantern. Since the Spectre in Jazzrat's instead seems to have his eyes in shadow, I think it's more likely he's intended to be the original host for the spirit, James Corrigan.

--Mystic II#15

Genevieve Villard

Giselle Villard's sister, Genevieve visited Jazzrat's after finding Darrow's invitation to met Giselle there in Giselle's apartment; she learned from Rick the bartender that the pair had recently left together.

   Many months later, Genevieve had been appointed the head of the Noveau Guild of sorcery. She invited Giselle for a girls' night out, starting with dinner at Jazzrat's; since she was now a very public figure, Genevieve disguised herself magically as a male mage. Unfortunately their plans for a quiet night were disrupted by the Infernal Minion Domo, leading to Jazzrat's being badly damaged before Giselle magically moved the confrontation to the moon.

--Mystic II#8-BTS, Mystic II#30

Giselle Villard

A regular at Jazzrat's, the Sigil-Bearer Giselle Villard accepted an invitation from Darrow to meet him there and then went on a walk on the nearby waterfront.

   Some months later, after learning that Darrow was a villain and defeating him, Giselle met up with artist Thierry Chevalier in Jazzrat's and apologized for how she had treated him while around Darrow.

   Some time later again, Giselle went to Jazzrat's with some old friends she'd dubbed the "Good-Time Gang" and partied with them until Thierry showed up.

   Many months later again she accepted her sister's invite to dine at Jazzrat's, but the visit turned into a fight when the Infernal Minion Domo showed up, wrecking the bar before she teleported all involved away to her lunar sanctum.

Comments: The lead character of Mystic, Giselle appears in every issue, and like the other subprofiles here, this only covers her time in Jazzrat's. She'll get a full profile eventually.

--Mystic II#5, 7, 15, 22, 30

Witchblade

Katrina Godliffe visited Jazzrat's and hung out with Scarlet Witch and Promethea.

Comments: Rather than the best known Witchblade, Sara Pezzini, the visitor to Jazzrat's was Katarina Godliffe, the Medieval Witchblade, who debuted in Image's Medieval Spawn/Witchblade#1 (May 1996) by Garth Ennis and Brandon Peterson.

--Mystic II#15

Wotan

The ancient sorcerer Wotan, long time foe of Doctor Fate, visited Jazzrat's and sat at the bar drinking alone.

Comments: Created by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman, Wotan first appeared in DC's More Fun Comics#55 (May 1940).

--Mystic II#15

Xandu

Minor mage Xandu visited Jazzrat's.

Comments: Xandu debuted in Amazing Spider-Man Annual I#2 (October 1965) by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. He's got an Appendix profile that covers the rest of his appearances.

   Seen only from behind, it's not definite that this was Xandu, but that's a fairly distinctive green collar, and there's not that many magical types with that exact look.

--Mystic II#15

Zatanna

Backwards-speaking spellcaster Zatanna Zatara went to Jazzrat's.

Comments: Created by Julius Schwartz, Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, Zatanna made her debut in DC's Hawkman#4 (1964).

--Mystic II#15

others

There are other background characters in Mystic II#15 that might be generic filler characters, but which might also be cameos that I've failed to identify. So if anyone does recognize someone they know, let me know!

Probably just a generic demon, but maybe not.

While there are a number of characters in generic purple-hooded cloaks and with basic wooden staffs in varying panels in Jazzrat's, this one stands out for a much more ornate staff (right), distinctive beard, and more detailed cloak, lending itself to the possibility he's meant to be someone specific. I think it's the same guy in both panels.

This guy stands out as a lot less "generic magician", making me suspect he's meant to be someone. Just not sure who. Facially, he does resemble DC's Doctor Mist, but his outfit doesn't fit. Nor does he look like Hellblazer's Papa Midnite, or Marvel's Brother Voodoo.
