Ed's Notes: Wow. Like a 30th Century Amazo, with the Adaptation ability of the psychotic tendencies. Basically Superman/Valor, with additional Powers, an no weaknesses. Damn.

I hope nothing ever goes wrong!

BTW... He should probably have at least one of the following:

Advantages: Connections: Earthgov (High), Legion of Superheroes (Low)

First Appearance: Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 4 #21 (August, 1991)

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! ;)

B.I.O.N. (who was later revealed to be the original Computo) is less of a version of Amazo (he can't get any "new" powers) but of a classic silver age Batman/Superman Supervillan "The Composite Superman"

In the silver age, Superman had his own museum like the Flash, and one of the exhibits had lifelike statues of the Legion of Superheroes created with a "clone ray".....however these statue-clones had a bit of essence of the Legionaires
later a janitor named Joseph Meach was present when a bolt of lightning hit him and the statues giving him this "essence"...and all th e powers of the Legion
The Composite Superman had a ridiculous origin and even more ridiculous look and was wiped away in the Crisis, BION is the modern, more edgy take on the concept
