Ed's Notes: First a point of clarification: This is the Golden Age Hero, Johnny Quick, not the Johnny Quick from the Anti-Matter Universe / Crime Syndicate. (Who is actually an evil version of Barry Allen's Flash anyway.) And let's get a second point out of the way up front: Yes, this is a poor man's Flash.

The entry above is a Combination of both sources, taking the best of each. The BG/R Book's main flaw is that it gives him the Running Power instead of Superspeed. Lame. On a FAR lesser note, it also leaves off his Buddy Advatgae. The WaW Sourcebook only gives him 45 Hero Points, leaves off His Dodging Skill and his All-Star Squadron Connection. Overall, the WaW version is the better one, but I feel like this entry is still fair.

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! ;)
