Ed's Notes: Another entry that combines two sources. WaW omits the All-Star Squadron Connection and gives him just 70 Hero Points. The BG/R Book Omits the FBI and Freedom Fighters Connection and the Gravity Rod. (Which is really just a watered down version of the Cosmic Rod anyway.) (Lol... Cosmic Rod. As a PC, trying saying that over and over again with a straight face!)

Also the I, II... naming convention is not really needed here, as the Golden Age Starman has no connection to the modern Starman, but they are more alike than the two Sandmans (Sandmen?) and they could not have initially overlapped. (Will Payton was not alive during WWII!)

Sweet Alex Ross paiitning too, huh? Haven't had that many recently, but they're still so frickin' cool!

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! ;)

I've always wondered what would happen if his grip slipped at too high an altitude. Remember when Bugs Bunny dropped his super carrots?

For what it's worth the Starman of the 80's (Will Payton) did fight Ted Knight's son David using the golden age costume and rod.
Another fun fact, James Robinson once created the "Starman of 1951" this was a heavy retcon of a golden age story where Batman was made afraid of Bats, and took up the identity of "Starman" for s single issue. This was later retconned to really be Dr.Mid-Nite....for unknown reasons, before a time traveling David took the role for the rest of the year
