The Broken Man
HistoryThere are hints of a past life, a possibly known identity for the Broken Man. However, currently there is not enough information available to even bother engaging in casual speculation. The Broken Man warns that he is on a mission to save something (us, the world, mankind, the universe, we are not sure at this point) from the perceived threats of an entity know as the Oubor. He somehow broke the fourth wall itself to recruit readers' aid in his efforts. With our help, he was able nudge Ben Pullam into becoming the Ambassador's guide. Yet while all that's going down, he's also stuck in a psychiatric facility, spending his days in pharmaceutical haze. ("Through Open Doors (Part One)") Who knows for sure? We might be listening to the rantings of a crazed fool, or the last sane warnings of a man driven to his mental limits by the awareness of a sinister and very real threat. So, for all of us, keeping a low profile might indeed be a good idea. At least until we know more about both the Oubor and the skinny man with the purple skin. Powers
ObservationsHe wears a white smock over a t-shirt depicting the famous Astro City Signal Rocket. The shirt is very popular with the tourists. Only the "Are You Jacked?" Jack-in-the-Box has higher sales. Speculations, TheoriesWe know that in the real world, the Broken Man's skin is yellow, just like the Bouncing Beatnik and the Halcyon Hippie. He was once eternally young, he says. Could all three men be different eras' versions of the same being?
