Real Name: Nikolai Furst
Debuted: Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol. 1 # 4
Born 1961
Affiliation: First Family
Base of Operations: Mount Kirby
Powers: Nick can project a rare kind of energy. In addition to firing burst off as energy blasts, he can utilize the energy's bizarre quality of having solid substance as if it were matter (and perhaps in some way it is) to generate solid constructs. He frequently carries himself (with or without the rest of the family) through the skies by generating flying platforms underneath his/their feet.
Nick's energy is the same kind that his sister (though hers is projected internally), niece, and Augustus's energenerator wield, albeit in other ways.
Speculations, Observations and Theories
He is married to Darcy Conroy, an Astro City lawyer. The two have twin children: Sasha and Karl.
He often seems quick tempered and headstrong
