Crackerjack

"He depends on luck, he is jealous of others, he does sloppy work, he steals credit for the achievements of others" -- the Enelsian, Mr. Bridwell

A daring and agile crimefighter, Crackerjack is noted for his theatrical sense of showmanship and for his deep appreciation of his own sense of humor.

History

Carkerjack first "debuted" in 1991,<footnote to Mr. Bridwell's reconnaissance data Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol.1 #5, page 17 panel 1.> but in general his early years are a mystery, not yet recounted in the pages of Astro City comics. Just a few years later, at the time of Mr. Bridwell's reconnaissance work for the alien race known as the Enelsians, Crackerjack had already established himself as a popular if not brash public defender.

For a time, his private identity was that of a struggling actor named Eugene Wallace. In his boarding room residence, he kept a number of accoutrements, wigs and fake IDs, indicating that he has concocted several private identities, some possibly in use concurrently. The Eugene Wallace identity was abandoned when the housing complex was destroyed in a fire.

Powers

His physical skills are impressive and quite acrobatic in nature. He keeps himself in top physical condition, but there is no apparent references to suggest he possesses extraordinary powers bestowed through freaks of nature, radioactive exposure, DNA manipulation, or mutation. At least not to date.

Equipment

He carries a baton whose round tip can be fired off at the end of a line. It mechanisms behave in a manner similar to a grappling hook. Crackerjack often uses this feature of his baton to line-swing across Astro City.

Observations

  • Though the super-heroic community has a low opinion of him, he nonetheless has a somewhat impressive track record and is certainly popular with the public at large.
  • He has what appears to be an on-again off-again romantic relationship with Quarrel.
