The Crimson Cougar In reasonably sized cities, the local media caters to the distinct glamour of the local culture. In Astro City, the streets are loaded with Super-Heroes. So of course, KBAC-TV caters to that theme but, they take it up a notch by producing a soap opera called Tomorrow's Dawn which centers on (you guessed it) the exploits of a super-hero. In this case, his name is the Crimson Cougar, and the show follows his adventures both in and out of costume. History It's a low budget show with average ratings. The main character is played by actor Mitch Goodman. This former stunt-man was forced into the role of a real hero when, along with two of his co-workers, Mitch thwarted a robbery in progress at a neighborhood AstroMart store. Thanks to the help of his telekinetic SFX partner, Martha Sullivan, and the distraction provided by Eric, his actor colleague, the Crimson Cougar dispatched the crooks and made headlines. After a few additional (low by the standards of typical super-hero) adventures, the Crimson Cougar was defeated by a new, unproven villain called the Dark Centurion. His fame quickly faded, and the career of the Crimson Cougar ended in disgrace. Licking his wounds, Mitch moved to Los Angeles to restart his career, not as a superhero or a stunt-man, but as an actor. Powers On TV, his gauntlet-mounted claws could be fired. But in reality, he's just some guy in a costume filled with Styrofoam, covered with plastic.
