Source: adapted from Writeups.org
foe of: Batman

Ed's Notes: A minor, but visually memorable Batman villain. Took up being a hitman so he could kill criminals. So basically another, "What Batman might have become," villain.

In terms of the adaptation... Writeups included a Skill called "Evade," but I couldn't find it in BoH, so I left it out entirely. I neglected to limit his Acrobatics to Dodging and "Athletics" (Gymnastics?) as they did. I just didn't see the point. I left off "Secret Identity." First off, that's not really a DRAWBACK for a CRIMINAL anyway. But basically no one knows who he is. That... not really a secret identity. Finally I modified his weapons ever so slightly, to match the closest descriptions found on page 123 of the 3rd Edition Rulebook. EV's are all the same, so it won't affect game-play much, if at all. Otherwise, I felt the Writeups write-up was pretty spot on. Maybe a slightly higher Spirit? Won't really matter against Batman anyway though. So it's good.

First Appearance: Batman: Shadow of the Bat #19 (October, 1993)

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! ;)
