Infl: 9 Aura: 9 Spirit: 7
Initiative: 14 Hero Points: 40

Powers:
Aura of Fear: 11
Claws: 7
Phobia: 13
Power Reserve: 35

Limitations: Miscellaneous: Power Reserve begins at 0 AP's. Every RAP from Aura of Fear or Phobia earned against it's host character increases Power Reserve by 1 AP, up to its maximum of 35. Reserves gained last for just one hour and must be recharged the next hour. AP's of Power Reserve are automatically divided between Str and Body. Power Reserve is also tied to his physical size, which ranges from that of an insect (when the Reserve is drained) to that of a 12-foot monster (when the Reserve if full.); Host Character: when it enters Earth's Plane, he must choose a host. It is the fear of the host that gives the Monkey King the Power to remain on the plane. Cannot allow harm to befall the host unless it wishes to leave the plane until summoned again.

Drawbacks: Fatal Vulnerability to daylight

Source: Swamp Thing Sourcebook, page 26-17
Foe of: Swamp Thing, Etrigan

Ed's Notes: This is a very interesting villain. I mean... the obvious kidnapping-caper is kind of the low-hanging fruit. Capture teh average someone with all 2's for Attributes, keep them terrorized, and end up with physicals of 7/18/17 or 7/17/18... Which is Martian Manhunter territory in Str, and SUPERMAN territory in Body. And yet... Starts out as a "harmless" insect. Lol. Also, will the PC's figure out to just kick the crap out of the hostage/host? I mean... knock them out and MK goes home, right? Or the daylight thing... Good use of Occultist for research purposes. This could make for a very interesting Horror-style (Swamp Thing) campaign.

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! ;)
