Halcyon Hippie

A non-conformist hero who has come to the aid of Astro City in times of great crisis. [edit] Vital Statistics

Status: Unknown

Real Name:

Debuted: Wizard Presents: Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol. 2 #1/2

Earliest known appearance: 1973

Base of Operations: Astro City

Powers: [edit] Speculations, Observations and Theories

Has been said to be "sort of" the Bouncing Beatnik. It is thought that he might be a parallel or alternate world version of the Beatnik, but this might not be true after appearing in DA1:4. Perhaps, a later incarnation of a "spirit of non-conformity" (which may now have an even newer form)?

Interestingly, the threats that bring forth these heroes also bring out the Old Soldier. Could they be a linked pair of myth-like spirits, along with, perhaps, the spirit of vengeance that underlies the Blue Knight?

He was one of four superheroes seen pooling their super-abilities to repair the timeline, indicating magical powers or energy powers of some sort. [edit] Appearances (in published order)
