Put the character on a comics Wikia with all the desired information and have Wikipedia link to it. Presumably a Wikia on comics can establish its own reliable sources list to allow comic fan journals
We'd then have Wikipedia linking to something that's an unreliable source by Wikipedia standards.
See point #4 here:

I would suggest that gives you justification.
Although on further investigation there is point #12 here, which rather puts a dampener on it:

Hmmm. I see your problem. I'm tempted to say that the "normally" might give you wiggle room. And to avoid the problem of the Wikia content changing I assume it's possible to link to a specific page version. Good luck.
