Ed's Notes: The second Firebrand was the original's sister. Unlike her brother, she had actual Powers and took on the mantle while he was recovering in the hospital after the attack at Pearl Harbor. She continued with the name even after he recovered.

Firebrand II (Danette Reilly) really WAS a woman ahead of her time-witness her and her fellow All Stars ready acceptance of Amazing Man(Will Everett) despite his African American background-remember this was the 1940s, long before the Civil Rights movement ed by Dr King!

Firebrand II(Danette Reilly) is an intriguing character in her own right-although the rich playboy/playgirl by day and masked avenger of injustice by night is as old as Zorro or Batman, it is interesting to note that she is a woman ahead of her time(the1940s) with her objections to being initially excluded from All Star Squadron membership due to her gender and support for Amazing Man(Will Everett) joining the Squadron(thus making it the first integrated "superhero" group at a time when most significant US institutions such as the military were deeply segregated- you go girl as they say!

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! ;)
