Ed's Notes: OK, so enough Gotham Bat-Family stuff, time for a classic, Silver Age Green Lantern Villain as a change of pace! Also, the 1st Edition GL Sourcebook still has a ton of good stuff in it that I can bring over into 2nd/3rd Ed, so it's as good a time as any to get back to it!

This entry, as well as the one in Writeups, sticks almost exactly to the 1st Edition writeup. They complicated the Rod (of course) as they always do. I pared it down to just what they had in 1st Edition word-wise, but using 2nd/3rd Ed rules. The only things I really to from Writeups were the black-filler like his Wealth rating and what advantages I should grant him. They gave him some Drawbacks, but they seemed superfluous to me, so I left them off. (Minor Irrational Attraction to flamboyant crimes?! He's a SIVLER AGE COMIC BOOK VILLAIN, what would you excpect?! No need to actually WRITE THAT UP.) Lol

Also, Lol... No source I found had stats on his "Cutting Green Lantern In Half" gadget shown on the cover of his first appearance:

First Appearance: Green Lantern Vol. 2 #29 (June, 1964)

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! ;)
