Ed's Notes: What I am about to say in meant in the most sincere sincerity: I am surprised that the Jonah Hex movie was so awful. It's a cool character played by Josh Brolin (who NAILED both Cable and Thanos, IMHO.) I guess it's pretty indicative of how shitty certain DC properties were being treated at that time. Think: Green Lantern and Hellblazer as other examples of just... WTF were the thinking?! And while there are valid criticism, I submit that Watchmen and V for Vendetta, not to mention the Nolan Batman Trilogy, show that DC properties CAN be made into decent movies. (I'm withholding judgement on the current DC Cinematic Universe. I know it has a lot of hater,s and no, it is NOT as well done as Marvel's. But I've enjoyed it so far, and honestly I haven't HATED any of it. Nope, not even Suicide Squad. Lol) We'll see what Aquaman and Shazam do. I love both of the charecters, but... Well, I was optimistic for Aquaman, but the trailer has quashed some of that for me. We'll see. Shazam looks downright GOOFY, but I'm going to give it a chance, as DC's Captain Marvel is one of my all time fav's. Anyway, off track rant over. Lol.

This guy could make for a very interesting scenario, especially when mixed with less gritty characters - maybe Dimension Travelling after a bounty, Dark Tower-style or something. (That's it! They just needed Idris Elba to play him instead of Josh Brolin!)

(YES, I'M JOKING!)

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! ;)
