Ed's Notes: This was a weird one. Ponder this... You're going try to pull a fast in the back yard of GREEN LANTERN - one of the most proficient users in history of one of the most powerful weapons in the universe - and your plan is to throw sticks at him? So... Seems dumb... Except that in the first edition, some of those "sticks" (javelins) had EV's in the 10-14 AP Range. Still no NEARLY enough to make a dent in Green Lantern, but several columns beyond what Heroes and Villains with similar shticks (not sticks) bring to the fight. SO I scaled them down a bit, to be more in line with what Green Arrow and Captain Boomerang have, weapon wise; mostly EV's and Powers in the 7-8 column. That makes this write-up make more sense, stat-wise, but we're back to his planning to take on Green Lantern by throwing stick at him.

First Appearance: Green Lantern Vol 2 #173 (February, 1984)

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! ;)
