Lastikman

(Movie version)

The version of the Filipino super-hero Lastikman seen in the 2004 movie take. As of August of 2020, the game stats and discussion about the traditional version of Lastikman have been restored. They had been lost for far too long due to a stupid cut-and-paste mistake.

Uncle Scrooge

(Life & Times version)

How much would you pay for RPG stats for Uncle Scrooge ? One million ? Two billions ? A poolfull ? Well, they're free.

alttext

Icicle

(Joar Makent part #1])

The Golden Age version of the character, though he endured into the 1990s. Criminal, genius, wielder of the cold gun. As of January of 2020, this profile was overhauled for concision and smoother reading. It was also cleft in two to facilitate reading on smartphones.

Tuk the cave boy

A very minor character from the distant past of the Marvel Universe. Your typical heroic cave boy of the day, really. As of January of 2020, did a tiny update. And heh, since we're on a break on not publishing anything else, I might as well push him up the homepage. As of the 8^th of January added further material because...

Catwoman

(Profile #2 - 1950s)

This is the part that comes after the two-parts article about Catwoman during the 1940s. Unsurprisingly, it's about Catwoman as she appeared during the 1950s. Or rather the early 1950s, for historical reasons.

alttext

Man in the iron mask

An obscure 1947 enemy of the Batman. Gangster-with-a-gimmick type.

alttext

Master Mind Excello

(Earl Everett)

Obscure 1940 proto-Marvel super-hero. All-knowing and nigh-invincible defender of America. As of January of 2019, this profile received excellent M&M stats and was mindfully remastered.

alttext

Nyola the Aztec rain priestess

A 1940s DC Comics character with a surprising amount of backstory - once you start thinking about it. Magical weather powers.

alttext

Catwoman

(Profile #1 - 1940s, part 1)

This is specifically for the earliest (1940-1949) versions of Catwoman (a.k.a. the Cat, a.k.a. the Cat Woman). Because she changes a lot over time. As of November of 2018, this article was overhauled, and is now presented as a two-parter due to all the additional material.

alttext

Mister Who

An obscure yet perfectly viable enemy of Doctor Fate, mostly seen during the 1940s. Growth and (sometimes) physical adaptation/morphing powers. Criminal mastermind type.

alttext

Superwoman

(Lois Lane in 1943)

In 1943, a dreaming Lois Lane became the first Superwoman. It was a short but intriguing story, and clearly it can be made even better by adding RPG stats. I mean, that's obvious to everyone, right ?

alttext

Captain Ironfist

An obscure 1942 enemy of Superman and Lois Lane. Possibly a ghost pirate, but prolly not.

alttext

Night-Owl

(1940s Superman enemy)

A criminal mastermind with darkness technology. He fought Superman and Lois Lane in 1942. Those were the days, my friend.

alttext

Monster

(Jason Rogers)

One of the notable enemies of the Justice Society of America during the 1940s - there aren't that many, really. He's a cliché yet he works pretty well.

alttext

Madame Death

A 1940s mobster with some potential to her, who later became a time traveller since that was a Tuesday. Ally of the Future Man.

alttext

Future Man

(Timely Comics)

A 1946 proto-Marvel time-travelling villain, who fought the All-Winners (the post-War version of the Invaders, more or less). He's confirmed to have existed in the Marvel Universe, and seems useful.

alttext

Terror

(Laslo Pevely)

A fairly obscure Golden Age killer vigilante with minor powers and a sinister Gothic appearance. As of October of 2017, the Terror has received skull-faced M&M stats. And as of June of 2018, the illustrations were redone and the text was combed back.

Water Sprite

An obscure Superman enemy from the 1940s. When the nights were young, when we could do no wrong.

alttext

Dawn Man

An odd but generally friendly prehistoric man. He appeared in a 1940s Superman story.

alttext

Strongarm Bandit

A circus strongman who fought Superman that one time, in 1940.

alttext

President John F. Kennedy

If Franklin Delano Roosevelt gets official DCH RPG stats as the emblematic President of the Golden Age of comics, then let's have some for John Fitzgerald Kennedy as the emblematic Silver Age of comics one.

Wonder Woman

(Diana of Themyscira) (Gail Simone take) (part #1)

Our main, Big Damn Huge Wonder Woman Profile. Tons of everything. Recommended reading. As of July of 2017, this article was split into three part due to the aforementioned "big damn huge" factor. So that's more convenient to read, and this allowed for various small improvements in passim. So now this specific article is the one with the quick intro, and...

alttext

White Rajah

One of those colonial White Saviour types from the Golden Age. More specifically, White Rajah appeared a few times in Fawcett comic books, starting with Master Comics #1 in 1940. He has an elephant, but do not fret - the elephant is white too.

alttext

Giganta

(Golden Age version)

This is Giganta as she appeared a few times in 1940s Wonder Woman adventures. Peak human strength, agility and ferocity.

alttext

(1946 Wonder Woman enemy)

An obscure, odd Golden Age Wonder Woman encounter. A crazy goblin with an axe and an obsession about Pocahontas.

alttext

Black Canary

(Profile #2 - Golden Age version)

The version of the Black Canary seen both solo and with the JSA during the Golden Age (in her case, 1948-1951) at DC Comics. This is an emergent history profile.

alttext

Black Canary

(Profile #1 - Earliest version)

The very first version of the Black Canary, as a crook, as published during the late 1940s in Johnny Thunder stories.

alttext

Pat Parker, War Nurse

A 1940s action heroine whose strip was published by Harvey Comics in Speed Comics. She's a two-fisted nurse fighting WWII in hot pants and a mask, as was the style of the day.

alttext

Magician from Mars

One of the earliest comic book super-powered heroines, debuting in 1940. An odd, brief-lived character with unlimited powers.

alttext

Fantomah

Fantomah is probably the first super-powered heroine in US comics. She starred in pretty weird stories starting in 1940, and is a powerful mystical guardian.
