Ed's Notes: Much like with Firestorm, I think THIS version of the character is just too stupidly over-powered to be any challenge (or fun) to play as a PC. Where as Firestorm's Dispersal gave him NEAR invulnerability to physical attack, while not affecting his best attack powers, Red's Self-Link Spirit Travel gives him ACTUAL, COMPLETE immunity to physical attacks, while maintaining an attacked power rated at 19. IMHO, this make a very good NPC, and even then he's a sledge-hammer.

Note: The Who's Who omitted entry his Dimension Travel power, which was in the JL Sourcebook, but still listed the limitation on it. I assume that was an error in the Who's Who, and so I've included it here. The JL Sourcebook miscalculates his initiative as 29/24. I've listed the correct value here.

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! ;)
