Astro may have been the given name of an underworld inventor, but it was more likely a moniker bestowed thanks to the inventors work with satellite technology. His greatest device was a multifunction satellite that could aid criminal activities from orbit. Once secretly launched, the "Crime satellite" managed to help rob banks, melt pursuing police cars, and even create a force field to protect itself from attack. Astro grew rich from his invention and continued his string of incredible crimes until he was brought to the attention of Batman and Robin. With the Gotham City Police Department, the Dynamic Duo put Astro out if business, and the satellite was rendered useless.
