On DC Universe All Star Games, game master Sam Witwer (Star Wars Rebels, Smallville) introduces his friends to Mayfair's 1983 role-playing game DC Heroes in a five-part '80s campaign dubbed "The Breakfast League." It's The Breakfast Club-meets-the Justice League, as a group of students at a high school in suburban Gotham City enter Saturday detention, only to discover they're ... the world's greatest heroes. But who are these kids?
DC Universe provided CBR with an up-close look at the character sheets, written by Witwer, who executive produces DC Universe All Star Games along with co-star Freddie Prinze Jr. (Star Wars Rebels, Scooby-Doo). The characters were illustrated by the show's graphics team, using DC Heroes pedestrian tokens as a basis.

● Carl got his Saturday detention for being found off-campus during school hours ... in the trunk of a car ... that some bullies, the Wasteoids, put him in. The teacher assumed he was smuggling himself for an illicit off-campus lunch, and subsequently punished him, not the Wasteoids.
● Carl is an A student with the exception of a C- in gym. This is a major crisis as it’s throwing off his grade point average
