Ed's Notes: A silver age creation of Lex Luthor that I've scaled down for use in 3rd Edition. Basically his numbers were reduce proportionately to Superman's own. This is the ORIGINAL version. There is a more recent version that's like... 100' tall. I might need to take a look at that one some time. Lol.

As a artificial construct, it makes sense that he wouldn't have Mystical Attributes, and thus be immune to any Magic affecting one's Spirit. (Just as any Gadget would be.) I'm a little less clear on why he would have no Mental attributes, beyond his Int of 1. Is he immune or super-susceptible? GM's discretion I guess. In any case, he's a pretty good drop-in anytime the GM needs a random thing that can physically compete with Superman.

Also... Not sure why he (or anyone, for that matter) needs a running of 4. Anyone with a Dex of 4 or higher can already run at a speed of 4 AP's. But Mayfair included it, so I've done the same. 1st Edition was weird sometimes.

First Appearance: Superman #248 (February, 1972)

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! ;)
