Ideas for random DC characters
Build a team. Draw five characters and write the mission that would bring them together – a Suicide Squad of random picks is always entertaining.
Injustice-style matchups. Draw two names and decide who wins, using comic feats as evidence.
Reading list. Draw a character and look up their best-known storyline; it is an easy way to explore beyond Batman and Superman.
Art prompt. Redesign the random character for a different era – Victorian, cyberpunk or Wild West.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which DC characters are in the generator?
Around 130 heroes and villains: the Justice League, the Batman family, the Teen Titans and other young heroes, the Lantern Corps and cosmic characters, magic and supernatural heroes, and a large villains group from the Joker to Darkseid.
Why do some characters appear in more than one group?
DC characters often belong to several teams – Starfire is both a Titan and a Justice League member, and Darkseid is both a cosmic figure and a villain. When you draw from All, each name is still counted only once.
Are characters like Harley Quinn heroes or villains?
Anti-heroes are listed where they started: Harley Quinn, Deadshot and the other Suicide Squad regulars are in Villains, while Catwoman herself sits in the Batman family. It is a judgement call – part of the fun is arguing about it.
What can I use a random DC character for?
Picking your next comic to read, a DC Universe Online or Injustice main, a drawing prompt, a costume, or a "Justice League of random picks" story challenge.
