Ed's Notes: This character is just too stupidly overpowered for any player to use and be challenged with. They way he is written he is FAR more powerful than even Superman: Dispersed and using Energy Blast, he'd have an AV/EV of 20/20 and an OV/RV of 23/28. (Superman's corresponding values are 15/25, 15/18.) And then there's his Growth, his Gravity Powers, Regeneration potentially every phase. Plus he has NO weaknesses, as Superman does. This is a good NPC for creating any HARD, DO-NOT-CROSS Lines, but I HATE letting him be used as a PC. And I generally won't allow it. Just too over-powered.

First Appearance?: Firestorm Vol 2 #85 (May. 1989)

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! ;)
