These also include technical data for role-players. If you need a robust understanding of a character’s abilities, personality, history, etc. this is *the* place to be.

More laid back than a broken recliner, “Ralph” from the planet Glapum’t has a brain with more processing power than cyberpunk-future-Google. He plays an important role in Laureline & Valérian graphic novels.
This is a short illustrated guide to the various ages and Earths of DC Comics’ super-hero stories.
It focuses on what you need to understand to read our profiles. It is chiefly intended for writeups.org readers who aren’t super-hero comic books experts.
As of the 19th of June, 2017, added a primer about the comic book characters that were bought to join the DCU.
A Batman enemy working for Maxie Zeus. Low-street-level but decent skills and gear, and nice style.
As of June 2017 this profile was revised, and received steel-feathered, feast-spoiling M&M stats.
A very Silver Age bad guy who fought Green Lantern. But you’ll have to read to learn what is his weapon of choice !
As of June, 2017, this profile has been revised. It also now has an arsenal of M&M stats it can throw pretty far.
As of June of 2017, this profile had its keel cleaned and its rigging overhauled. It now covers Namorita’s entire career, *and* has M&M stats that float fairly well.
A quarter of themed and competent hitmen seen in Valerian & Laureline graphic novels. They’re kinda fun, and they’re easy to use.
An old school Advanced Dungeons & Dragons monster. We’ll have a a handful of those as long-term preparation for a Baldur’s Gate profiles arc.
An early (1938) Golden Age villainess who fought Zatara the Magician (DC Comics’ Mandrake expy). She has an interesting legacy, she does.
Now with elegantly striped M&M stats, to boot.
A few bits of DC Heroes RPG new rules and clarification material that didn’t fit among our more specialised pages on the subject. Recent additions :
— Useful material from the old FAQ that existed on the previous version of the site.
— Weight classes for Character creation
— “Substitutive” vs. “additive”
Part #3 of our Valérian & Laureline series of profiles, about these seminal graphic novels. Here we finish summarising the stories, and explain the timeline shenanigans in a compact and, dare I say, timely manner.
The profiles should be read in order, or you may trigger a time paradox that erases the Earth. Just saying.
Continuing Bryan’s arc through the 1980s Marvel Transformers comics, with Bumblebee. As you could prolly tell from the illustration, if you’re an older gentleman. Back then BB still turned into a VW Beetle.
An obscure Captain America mostly-enemy. A cop who became a dauntless killer vigilante. An enhanced private police force. These are his stories.
Fully revised and updated in May, 2017. And now with a M&M stats badge.
Minor Black Widow and Captain America foe. Handy organised crime enforcer and manager type.
As of May of 2017, this profile was redone, and received a new knotted loincloth made of M&M stats.
A magically gifted thief “repossessing” dangerous artefacts for unclear purposes. And, unfortunately, attempting to do so in style. From our Christmas of 2016 character creation contest.
Ratchet of the Transformers as he appeared in the 1980s Marvel Comics books series. He’s the robot doctor who turns into a robot ambulance and saves the robot day.
A triad of diminutive, talented alien spies who frequently sell intelligence to Valérian and Laureline. These are surprisingly popular minor characters, with snouts.
A very minor Captain America enemy. I think she’s easy to use as a criminal operator in various thriller scenarios.
As of May of 2017, this entry was revised, its images improved, and it received crafty and well-groomed M&M stats.
A super-strongman who worked with the White Queen’s Hellions during the early 1990s.

Part one of a big article (presented in easily digestible smaller bits, as usual) about a rather important series of graphic novels.
It’ll explain all the things. Yes, even *that* thing you thought nobody’d ever explain. That one’s in part #3 in the article, but still do read it all in order ‘kay thanks.
From the rather important Valerian graphic novels. This profile directly continues our Valérian profile.
She’s sharp, she’s resourceful, she’s really hot, she’s a space-time agent, she’s opinionated, she has a grumpy transmuter from Bluxte and a blaster and a smile !
The version of the Punisher who appears in the second of Netflix’s adaptation of Daredevil, as played by Jon Bernthal.
Spoiler – he uses guns.
An obscure DC Universe French super-heroine. As of May of 2017, illustrations and texts overhauled and added M&M 3rd game stats.
Improvised, home-made firearms in stories and how they work. Chiefly useful for post-apocalyptic or crime stories, but can be handy for all sorts of resources-poor settings really. Dual-statted for DCH and M&M, but still in beta.
Wolfsbane of the New Mutants during her earliest career (1982-1985), because everybody loves Rahne (and because it was getting weird not to have a profile for her).
A very 1980s cartoons baddie, appearing in ’em vintage G.I. Joe episodes. YOU SHALL READ THIS WRITE-UP ! THIS I COMMAND ! I AM SERPENTOR !
One of the emblematic characters of Emerald City, one of the campaign settings for the Mutants & Masterminds 3rd edition RPG. Super-strength.
An images-animating, demon-possessed beginner super-hero. From our Halloween of 2016 random character creation contest.
