Cleopatra

Cleopatra is a superheroine in the independent city of Astro City, appearing among its earliest protectors alongside Samaritan and N-Forcer. She is one of the founding members of the Honor Guard, Astro City's premier superhero team.

Debuting in the very first issue of Kurt Busiek's Astro City in 1995, Cleopatra is one of the founding figures of one of modern comics' most celebrated superhero universes — a character present at the ground floor of a series that has captivated readers for three decades. A product of the Copper/Modern Age, she inhabits the rich, humanistic world Busiek and Brent Anderson built together, sharing the page with luminaries like Samaritan, Beautie, and N-Forcer. With 45 appearances spanning 1995 to 2025 and a key-issue credit to her name, Cleopatra is a genuine piece of Astro City history — exactly the kind of character that rewards the devoted reader who wants to understand this world from its very beginnings.
