Featured Articles   Samaritan The man who is arguably the greatest hero of the modern era is in fact not from this era at all. Samaritan was a time-traveler from the 35th century sent back to 1986 to prevent the wasteland Earth he was born into from coming about. The transit suffused him with "empyrean fire," giving him enormous physical power as well as the ability to project an "empyrean web." Samaritan has been a member of the elite superhero team Honor Guard since at least 1991. He is in a romantic relationship with Winged Victory and yes, it is complicated. More...   The Silver Adept She's one of Astro City’s most powerful mystic heroes. A newspaper article among the Broken Man's odd and mysterious collection details the heroine Silver Adept's recent move to Astro City and her assisting the Honor Guard in their battle with Mister Mystoro. But that is just part of her very hectic life style. She is so busy being an "adept" authority on all things mystical, she even has a small staff assisting her. Stockton and Moreton They're not cats (that's for sure) and they're not exactly dogs. But they are something cute, sensitive, friendly and while not demonstrated yet, no doubt very protective. Not sure which is Stockton and which is Moreton. Except for color and perhaps gender, they source from the same species. While their position in Silver Adept's entourage seems to be that of pets, with mystics, you can never be sure, and you should never assume...   Joey Lacroix Joey Lacroix, badly beaten, damaged emotionally, makes his way into the central compound of Samothrace, a training school for women, sponsored and run by none other than Winged Victory, one of the most powerful and most controversial super-heroes that call Astro City their home. But someone or something is out to destroy her. Could Joey somehow be part of that sinister plan, or is he just an innocent bystander? A pawn that might be elevated to a higher role in the salvation of Winged Victory's reputation and her very life purpose. More...   Silver Agent He burst upon Astro City and the world in the late 1950s. Part of a growing wave of good masks dedicated to protecting society from the bad masks. Only one problem, sometimes society in its desire to see things in simple terms like win or lose, and black and white, overlook the human aspects behind the masks, showing little to no appreciation for their efforts, especially during the bad times. The Silver Agent, more so than any other good mask, endured those harsh judgements, and during the Dark Age of Astro City they peaked... More...   The Confessor An iconic Super-hero, with a shadowy past. The Confessor, long suspected and now confirmed as a vampire, has patrolled the streets of Astro City for decades, nearly nonstop. Thought killed and destroyed at the climax of the eNelsian alien invasion, he has nonetheless(as most vampires will do) returned from the grave to continue his nightly patrols of Astro City's dark and seedy districts. His hunting remains focused on criminals. His methodologies now seem more sophisticated, relying on advanced technology and arcane mystical powers sourcing from remote and ancient tribal customs. More...   Dame Progress One of the most incredible, absolutely amazing, stunningly beautiful battles of all time occurred on a cold winter's night over 100 years ago. Astro City was still called Romeyn Falls in those days. Along with trolley cars and horses, a rarely seen heroine by the name of Dame Progress wandered the city. Her weaponry and vehicles are finely crafted, state of the art instruments. Her battle that particular night centered on a specific target. A target that was interfering with a special mission... More...   Mister Cakewalk Like jazz itself, this guy was cool and smooth. He had a dark mission to perform on a brisk winter's night in the early 1900s. He planned to share it. It was just a matter of timing things just right. More...   Astra Furst Born to a famous family, Astra Furst, has been blessed and cursed with media attention focused on her activities from infancy, adolescence, and College graduation. Now she's a young women, balancing a very busy life. She is a member of her family's namesake group, The First Family, and also doing part time shifts with Reflex-6. Add to that her day job at the far away Gordian Knot and it is a wonder she has time for normal activities like sleep. Then too, she has always struggled with "normal"... More...
