Sample Heroes:
None listed for Robby Reed in 3rd Edition, but see Dial "H" for Hero II's page for some newer examples, for reference.

Source: Who's Who, 3rd Edition; Atlas of the DC Universe, page 40

Ed's Notes: This kid should get together with Crazy Jane. Lol. Also, check this out. Apparently Plastic Man (who's an actual DC Hero) was one of Robby's forms:

Not surprisingly, so of those are better than others. Maybe a randomization table is needed? Otherwise, forms at GM's discretion according to what the plot needs? (Or comic relief? Lol) Also, to make this work, I THINK the H-Dial needs the same bonus as Crazy Jane's Omni-Power:

Bonus: Omni-Power can be used to boost Attributes.

2nd Edition's H-Dial worked slightly differently. Here is the full description, from the ADCU:

H-Dial [Body: 15, Mystic Link (Omni-Power): 15] Note: The H-Dial's Omni-Power can only be used to transform its user into a super-powered Character generated using 450 Hero Points, according to the rules on page 3 to 10 of the (2nd Edition) Characters Handbook, upon dialing H-E-R-O. The resulting hero will exist until he dials O-R-E-H on the dial. The here retains the user memories, AP's of Wealth, Motivation and Advantages (not calculated into the heroic Character's generation). Drawbacks: Miscellaneous: If the user dials something other than H-E-R-O, it is up to the GM to determine the results. Reed once dialed S-P-L-I-T and was divided into two entities, a heroic being known as the Wizard, and an evil creature called the Master.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Mayfair Games DC Heroes RPG online Character Database!

This is a older game, long out of print, but I was a huge fan of it (obviously) and would love to get a group back together at some point. In the meantime, I hope you find this resource to be both useful and enjoyable.

The information contained herein comes primarily from the second and third editions of the game, although if a character exists only in the (pre-Crisis) 1st edition, and I feel that their stats can be reasonably used and be a good fit with the later (post-Crisis) editions, I may include them as well, for completeness sake. Eventually all entries will include links to previously published versions of the character, and ALL character information on any given page will be cited back to the published source material. Links between the characters, their Connections, Teams, Bases of Operation, etc... will be included as often as possible - which should make this more interesting.

I may also include some notes with some of the entries, explaining how I might change the character in my campaigns - Handling connections differently (because I interpret the JLA and JLI my own way, and don't even recognize the JLE, for example), adding skills (how does Bat-Girl have a Batarang, but not the Weaponry skill?!) And in some cases just some general thoughts. (Likes/dislikes, head-scratchers, etc...)

I also think there should be a discussion, if people are interested in having one. So please leave comments, but also bear in mind that this is meant to be a FUN place for people with a shared interest and hobby. So, PLEASE, stay on topic and DON'T BE A DICK! ;)
