Ed's Notes: This is the classic, "Silver Age-y"version of Hawkman from the 2nd Edition. This was by far my favorite version of the character, and I prefer it to the Armored, Sci-Fi version represented in the 3rd Edition. The third edition does include a nice upgrade the the Belt, which I would allow:

ANTI-GRAVITY BELT [Body: 9, Gravity Decrease: 7] Limitation: Gravity Decrease only allows user to hover in place and lift great weights.

This gives Hawkman an effective Str of 13 for the purpose of lifting things. And I would have no problem allowing this version of the belt to be used.

First Appearance: The Brave and the Bold #34 (February, March, 1961)

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! ;)

No connection to the Atom? They were best friends in the Silver Age :)

It's a shame he didn't have the Claw of Horus yet. I'd guess Body:8, EV:11 or something

"The Black Power Mixtape 1967 - 1975" documentary takes a refreshing look that the civil rights movement from the eyes of a group of Swedish news journalists. I was amazed at the amount of footage never-seen-before footage of civil rights icons. Black Panther for birthday
