Line 37:

A powerful, immaculate, apparently non-aging, and unfailingly-polite tuxedo-clad hero. He has a charming personality, displaying wholesome, old fashioned sensibilities, and extremely good manners. In short, a perfect Gentleman.

|history = The Gentleman has been active in [[Astro City]] since the early 1940s.

In 1942, Daniel Armstrong protected his daughter, Matilda "Tillie" Armstrong, from a terrorist attack by Nazi sympathizers. This activated Tillie's reality-warping psychic powers, where she created the Gentleman in her father's image and stopped her own aging process. Doctor Borzoi later captured Tillie and forced her to confront the reality of her father's death, but she rejected his words and summoned the Gentleman to defeat Doctor Borzoi. Only on later reflection did she realize that Doctor Borzoi had told her the truth and that a part of her had known all along. Like The Broken Man, Tillie can break the 4th wall and speak directly to him when he is narrating.

In the late 1940s, during a battle with his arch-nemesis, [[Professor Borzoi]], a peculiar incident occurred in which one of the the Professor's most awesomely dangerous inventions, the '''[[Belief Ray]]''', brought to life a gorilla from the feature movie, along with the cartoon character [[Loony Leo]].
