The Street Angel A bouncy street-level hero who started out as a happy go-lucky type but went "dark," after his association with Black Velvet. History During the 1970s, Street Angel went "dark"(matching the tone of the age), becoming a violent vigilante. Following this dark phase, in contrition, Street Angel orchestrated mercy missions, bringing medicines to Central Africa for several years. He returned to Astro City in 1984, helping teach young kids boxing until being outed by the Blue Knights. He also had taken Quarrel II under his wing as well, who seemed to revere him. After being outed by the Blue Knights he managed to escaped after the debut of the Pale Horseman. Though he stayed in the public light trying to atone for his past, he was attacked at a public speech by the Horseman, during his reign of fire and brimstone judgment. It was when he saved the lives of Otter,Mister Toad and Owl, from the Horseman, that he himself was forced into battle in which the Pale Horseman incinerated him like so many of his other victims. He had several different looks in appearance. In the late 60's he had an single mask with a lighter blue and white costume, before adapting the hooded look in the early 1970s. Equipment A highly trained martial artist and extremely agile acrobat, the Street Angel carries a supply of large Aerobie-like rings ("halos") which he hurls at enemies. In his earlier, more light-hearted days, he used a variety of specialized halos; each type performing a different technological trick. When the Street Angel entered his darker phase, he switched to halos with steel cores and angel-shaped shurikens to disable and physically damage criminals. Speculations, Theories He was known to have some relationship (not necessarily romantic) with Quarrel II. This probably occurred after his mercy missions in Africa. He may have been her teacher or mentor, guiding her to become a hero, not a criminal mask like her father: Quarrel. The super-villain Ominuss was supposedly murdered by Street Angel in 1988. How this jibes with his fatal confrontation with the Pale Horsemen four years earlier is unknown. An old newspaper article, circa 1995 or slightly before, states that Street Angel is "presumed dead."
