Ed's Notes: This is the slightly nerfed (though not really) version that was updated in the 3rd Edition.  A couple of changes that I would make in game play:

Advantages: Connections: Nightwing (High), Superman (High); Sidekick (Robin)

Also, I would change his Justice League Connection to the Justice League of America.

  1. So Batman,green arrow,Catwoman and lady Shiva are all a 9 in martial arts? That does not sound remotely correct to me.

  2. There's a good discussion here about how the game designer arrived at these stats. You'll need to scroll down to question 4. Basically, the designer thought that 10 APs of Martial Artist & Dex were peak human and Batman circa early 1990s was a little below that. He put Lady Shiva at 10. There's also a discussion of how character stats vary depending on the time & author. I'd agree that Catwoman & Green Arrow should be a column below the likes of Batman & Lady Shiva.
