History: (Kurt Busiek’s Astro City I (Image) #2) - Max O’Millions formed the Honor Guard, a team of the world’s greatest superheroes, in 1959. Max’s initial team consisted of Cleopatra, N-Forcer, Bouncing Beatnik, Kitkat, Leopardman, Silver Agent and Starwoman. The Honor Guard confronted the occultist Karnus, who summoned the otherworldly Shirak the Devourer, bringing the entity and a part of his dimension to an Astro City subway tunnel. Shirak planned to make the subway his beachhead and make war against Earth, but the Honor Guard battled him, Karnus and Shirak’s army of sharklike humanoids he called the Ravagers. The battle turned against them until the Old Soldier, who hadn’t been seen in years, appeared because he was needed. He instructed the Honor Guard to destroy Shirak’s alter, which kept him tethered to our dimension. Silver Agent destroyed it with his bare hands, banishing the entity and winning the day.
