Beautie

Beautie is a mysterious, doll-like android heroine of Astro City whose origins and creator long remain unknown even to herself. Resembling a living fashion doll, she operates as a capable hero while quietly grappling with unanswered questions about her own nature and purpose.

Beautie is one of the distinctive faces of Astro City, Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson's landmark Modern Age universe that has been reimagining superhero mythology since its 1995 debut. A presence across three decades of storytelling — from the Copper Age into the present — she's woven into the rich ensemble tapestry that makes Astro City so beloved, sharing adventures alongside luminaries like Samaritan, Quarrel, N-Forcer, and Cleopatra. With 41 appearances spanning the series' various volumes and a key issue to her name, she's no background fixture but a character with genuine weight in this world. If you've ever wanted a superhero universe with real literary ambition and heart, following Beautie through the pages of Astro City is a wonderful place to start.
