Ed's Notes: This one's a bit... weird. It's another Crime Syndicate adaptation, and one of my own write-ups. Rather that make him like Barry Allen though, I used the stats from the Golden Age Johnny Quick. This makes him the one member of the Crime Syndicate who is at a clear disadvantage when facing his Justice League Counterpart. Maybe it would be more appropriate to use Barry Allen's stats, but I feel like this one is just a bit different, based on what (admittedly little) I've read about him. In any case, this is how I plan to use him, and as villains go, even if he IS the team's weak link... Superspeed of 18 is still pretty damn good! (And if you're playing with Wally West/Flash III in your game, he's actually at a slight advantage.) Finally, right or wrong, I got rid of the "he has to shout stupid nonsense to turn his Powers on and off" Limitation. He's slower than the Flash. That's limitation enough. BUT... If I've screwed the pooch on this one, please let me know, OK?

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! ;)
