The DC Adventures Quick Start starts with a promotion for the DC Adventures Hero's Handbook. The next two pages cover task resolution ("checks") and typical actions, including combat and hero points. Two more pages are dedicated to writeups of Superboy and the Female Fury from Apokolips, Knockout. The two characters are used in a short, one scene adventure designed to demonstrate the basic rules. While Superboy is the guest of honor at the Smallville fair, Knockout attacks. The volume concludes with more promotional material and the OGL.
