The Bouncing Beatnik

An acrobatic and jive talking beatnik hero. He aided The Honor Guard in the first fight against Shirak.

History

There is a definite sense of a long history associated with the Bouncing Beatnik, but to date, he has made very few on-page appearances within the pages of Astro City Comics. At least in this form, with this identity.


Speculations, Theories

  • Apparently not completely human. He has a yellowish skin color, and only three digits on each hand.
  • The Halcyon Hippie as depicted in the early 1970s, might be an modern presentation of what was the Bouncing Beatnik. Fan commentary and letter's page response to his first appearance (Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol.2 #1/2) hint that he might be an alternate reality's version of the Beatnik. A repeat appearance in Astro City: The Dark Age Book One #4 strongly infers that the Halcyon Hippie is of this dimension as well.
  • Based on certain physical similarities, it is possible, that in addition to being the Halcyon Hippie, he is could also have a third identity as that of the Broken Man.
  • Further, there is additional speculation that Mister Cakewalk is another, early manifestation of this same individual.



Footnotes

  • On the (now discontinued) Comics Forum, Bruiser's, Kurt mentioned, "There will eventually be more of the Beatnik -- or another of his incarnations. He's shown up in two, so far."
