Ed's Notes: These stats are a bit different from those in Writeups, mainly because I'm using the Power Set from 3rd Edition Captain Marvel. (So no Lightning. Obviously these characters could stand to be updated, but I'm sticking to the published material as much as possible.) And for her attributes, basically if Cap-M had a higher rating than Billy-B, then I assume it's related to the Powers of Shazam and thus Freddie benefits from the same rating. (He pretty much she only keeps only her Int of 5.) Basically, in addition to the same Powers, he gets Dex: 14, Str: 20, Body: 14, Will: 10, Mind +3 AP's, Infl +1 AP, Aura +3 AP's and Spirit: 7.

Writeups includes a bit about how the Powers are reduced when more than one member of the Marvel family use the Powers of Shazam. I'll be honest: I don't know if this is cannon or not. BUT... DCH does not include anything about this. Possibly because Cap was the only one ever written up, BUT... So was Black Adam. Wouldn't THEY split the Powers (lose 1 AP from... everything) as well? So... I didn't miss that, I'm intentionally leaving it out.

First Appearance: Whiz Comics #25 (December, 1941)

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! ;)
