Commander Flint © Juke Box Productions AstroFacts Status: Active Affiliation: E.A.G.L.E. Personal Data Occupation: E.A.G.L.E. commander InfoDump Appearances (in Publication Order): Astro City (2013) #1 Event Timeline 2013/06     Current Heroes of Astro City Attempt to Open the Doors En Masse. Commander Flint A top-ranking member of E.A.G.L.E. A man of severe, no-nonsense demeanour, he regards superheroes in general with a certain amount of distrust. History Alongside various superheroes, Flint led an E.A.G.L.E. team in the investigation of the mysterious doorway hovering over the Gaines River in Astro City. He ordered jets to fire missiles at it in an attempt to break through, but they were intercepted by Samaritan and several other superheroes, who feared splash-back damage to the gathering witnesses. Eventually Ambassador Telseth just as mysteriously emerged from the doorway, requesting a guide to humanity. Flint insisted it be an E.A.G.L.E. man but was refused. ("Through Open Doors (Part One)") Speculations, Theories His face, hair, and eyebrows together have a subtle but distinct hawkish look. Just the comic keeping with the bird-of-prey theme, or is there some connection to the Hawk family, who too have E.A.G.L.E. ties? It's unclear whether Flint commands all of E.A.G.L.E., which would make him the modern day counterpart to Flannery Hawk, or just a division or branch.
