MitD XV: The Other Dark One

Then you should use dashes

"The current best fits are the Xenocrysth - a character from another comic - and the protean."

vs

"The current best fits are the Xenocrysth, a character from another comic, and the protean."

Parentheses also work.

...no, see, the Xenocrysth is not a character from another comic. The dashes would be worse, going from "ambiguous" to "clearly saying the incorrect thing".
