Ed's Notes: Wally West's mother, Iris West's. (Barry Allen's Sister-in-law) I've always felt that killing off Barry Allen was the biggest mistake DC made with Crisis on Infinite Earths. And since DC Heroes was developed in the wake of that, while they do stat-out Barry, WALLY is really considered The Flash. Personally I prefer him as Kid Flash, with Barry filling the big boots. I bring all this up because, without Barry, IRIS West (his love interest) becomes a minor, if not insignificant character... To the point that I can't find a sheet for her in ANY edition of DH Heroes, 1st, 2nd or 3rd! I will probably stat her out at some point, using Mary's sheet here along with Lois Lane's and Vicky Vale's as additional reference points. (Iris was also a photo-journalist and gossip columnist early on in the flash Comics.) And what's a superhero without a damsel in distress to rescue, am I right, guys?! (Yes, I'm joking. That's lazy writing. Do better than that with your female characters, even if they aren't super-powered!) Also, my mother seems to have that same Drawback. Does yours? Don't they ALL? ;)

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! ;)
