Ed's Notes: Ugh. So with one charecter, DC managed to ruin representation for both LGBT's and Latino's. On behalf of straight, white comic book fans everywhere, I would like to apologize for this monstrosity. It's no my call, but I'm guessing NO representation would have been better than... well, THIS. If you've ever heard my radio show, or read my other blogs, you'd know that I am ALL FOR more diversity and better priority representation. Key word: BETTER. This isn't better! I mean... COME ON:

REALLY, DC?!

I'll give them one thing... Given his power set, he would be far and away the most interesting character in the New Guardians to actually play. And while I would have no problem role-playing any LGBT character, there is zero change I would play him as the picture above suggests. (Did you know that not all gay people are flamboyant as fuck? No? Well... NOW YOU DO!)

Could be worse, I suppose. At least he's not Marvel's pathetic attempt at LGBT tokenism.

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! ;)
