* Played with in ''Comicbook/AstroCity'' with Sticks, a talking gorilla from a militaristic gorilla society who left his home to pursue a career as a rock drummer. Due to his superior strength and agility, both heroes and villains from Astro City wanted to recruit him, making his efforts to simply be a musician difficult. Ultimately he became a hero, working alongside some of Astro City's more recognized heroes until he announced to the press that he was auditioning other music-themed heroes to start their own super-team/rock band. As of the end of his introduction the new team was voting on a new name. Sticks was partial to "Powerchord."
** ''Comicbook/AstroCity'' has had a number of heroes and heroines, dating from its foundation as Romeyn Falls, who carried a strong musical influence, usually with powers associated with the popular music of the times. Among the more prominent were Silverstring (a demon slaying troubadour from the 1870s), Mister Cakewalk (a Ragtime-inspired vigilante from the 1900s), Jazzbaby (a jazz-themed heroine from the '20s), Zoot Suit ('40s big band), the Bouncing Beatnik ('50s hep cat), Halcyon Hippie ('60s psychedelic rock), then finally Glamorax (David Bowie-inspired glam rock of the '70s).
