The Astro-Naut A hero in Romeyn Falls of the late 1930s and 1940s. Speculations, Theories While the narrative has yet to be shown on panel, it's generally believed that he sacrificed himself to save Romeyn Falls from imminent destruction. The town then renamed itself in honor of his bravery. The rocket beacon on AstroBank Tower was reconfigured, becoming a warning signal, alerting heroes of impending danger, so that, hopefully, nothing like what happened in 1946 will ever happen again.
