Ed's Notes: OK... Got to get this out of the way up front... The "Pennamaquot Werewolves" sound more like a Single-A, Minor League Baseball team to me that a serious horror monster. NOW, let me apologize for that, because the story that these "monsters" comes from contains some pretty powerful and profound feminist allegory and sharp commentary on the female human condition. (And in 1985 no less!) Using them in a campaign TODAY, I would recommend that the GM use great care to keep the story balanced. Swamp Thing villains are usually more nuanced, and this lot have very sympathetic reasons motivating what they do. Are they still wrong? Still "monsters?" Perhaps. That's up to the PC's to decide, And it up to the GM to make that a challenging question for them to answer.

BTW... Why no:

Powers: Claws
or
Drawback: Strange Appearance ...?

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! ;)
