Ed's Notes: I feel like this guy's been nerfed a bit since the Silver Age/1st Edition, because there's really no way he can take on Superman with that... Oh my god... I just looked up his 1st edition stats... The Rock has Force Field: 35 and Lightning: 36. LMFAO. Ok, YEAH, that would work against Superman! Although... Don't forget that 1st Edition also gave Silver Age Supes a Str of 50 and a Body of 40, so... even then, maybe not. In any case, he's a bit of a classic, and he appears in the World In The Balance module, which is 2nd Edition, so here he is, with no need for me to scale him. Would make an interesting additional to most villainous teams, but he's really decidedly MID-level (at best) at this point, so don't use him with the intention of going toe-to-toe with Big Blue. Lol.

First Appearance: Action Comics #458 (April, 1976)

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! ;)
