Ed's Notes:  Given that 3rd edition left out some pretty popular charterers at the time, (Bane - I still can't believe they missed BANE,) including guys like Arion kind of pisses me off a little. It's not that he's not important to the history of the DCU. He played a role in Crisis on Infinite Earths, so... Sure. Fine. He's important.  But what are the odds I'm ever going to actually USE him?  He doesn't exist in the modern age. Maybe some form of Time Travle adventure? OK. But then there's the same problem with just running a campaign in that time period: NO ONE ELSE FROM THAT TIME PERIOD GETS STAT'ED OUT!  SO we've got this ONE GUY and no supporting cast or villains.  Who would I trade having THIS GUY for? Pick one: Bane, Harley Quinn, Azrael, V (fair game, since they did the Watchmen,) Mary Marvel, Zod, Giganta, Lex Luthor's Battle Suit, scaled to Post-Crisis levels... Instead there a guy who's been dead for MILLENNIA.  I don't know. Maybe someone is super interested in this guy, but I'm just... meh.


The Magic Sourcebook adds the following:

Drawbacks: Arch Enemy (Garn Daanuth); Magician's Code

    1. YES! Harley Quinn, Bane and Mary Marvel are going to be the first three I do once I'm done with the published material. (Or get bored. Lol) Writeups.org has sheets for all three, but I'm not entirely happy with any of them. GOOD STARTS, but I think they need some tweaking before I'd use them in a game.
