InfoDump
Beautie is a perfect life-size replica of a type of doll of the same name sold by Tip-Top Toys.
Built by Elaine Girbachs
Beautie arrived in Astro City in the fall of 1969, with no memory of her past. Her first heroic act was stopping the kidnapping of Joanie Wheaton, then the heir to Wheaton Investments. Six months later, she assisted Honor Guard in defeating the Toymaker. Honor Guard brought her into their ranks, leading to legal action declaring her a free person, using the Loony Leo v. Fago's Funny Features decision as precedent.
She is the corporate symbol and spokesman for Tip-Top toys, making appearances nationwide.
In 1978, she broke up an attack on the Astro City Gay Freedom March, which has led the gay community to adopt her as their favorite hero.
Over the course of her heroic career, she has been destroyed twice, once by the Living Nightmare, and once by the Silver Brain's minions. Each time, she has been rebuilt.
She is a friend of The Tourist.
Speculations, Observations and Theories
Her artificial nature allows her to be immune to Goldenboy's pheremones.
