Ed's Notes: I'm finding a lot of interesting "forgotten" villains in the modules. And I like that. I like having entries of obscure characters that actually comes from material published by Mayfair. And the module, Come On Down, literally features a team CALLED "The Forgotten Villains!" That's perfect! This thing is a BEAST - RV of 20, one column higher than Superman's! (Which should offset the Growth Penalty to his OV. That still applies, when Always On, yeah?) I feel like in 3rd Edition, it wouldn't have any mystical stats. I suppose he could be considered sentient, but it really isn't, as it's at the mercy of whomever possesses its Control Ring. That's Mr. Poseidon at the moment. At one point Atom-Master had it, and it would be possible for a PC to get a hold of it - though they shouldn't be allowed to keep it, unless it was the plan all along to make a new character that would be like a Hogarth Hughes to this Iron Giant. In any case, Ultivac would be immune to any direct Character Interaction (It CAN'T BE REASONED WITH!) due to him being control remotely. Now... Character Interaction against whomever is using the Ring? That's a different story!

First Appearance: Showcase #7 (April, 1957)

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! ;)
