Reception

edit

In the October 1990 edition of Dragon (Issue 162), Allen Varney gave a thumbs up, saying, "This book should be every Champions game GM's first supplement... If you run a four-color Champions campaign, you want this book."[2]

Sean Holland reviewed Classic Enemies in White Wolf #25 (Feb./March, 1991), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "I highly recommend Classic Enemies to anyone running a Champions campaign. And if you use another superhero RPG, you might want to riffle through Classic Enemies for a few ideas."[3]
