Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier) is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the twin brother of Aurora. Through his mutation, Northstar gains superhuman powers, which he uses for the betterment of society. Although originally a member of Alpha Flight, a fictional team of Canadian superhumans, Northstar is later portrayed as a member of the X-Men. He is one of the first openly gay superheroes in American comic books. He is scheduled to marry his male partner in Astonishing X-Men #51, which will be published June 27, 2012.
Northstar debuted in Uncanny X-Men #120 (April 1979) as part of the Canadian government sponsored team Alpha Flight, who seek to take Wolverine of the X-Men into custody. In 1983, Alpha Flight went on to star in its own comic, with Northstar as a charter member. In addition to the Alpha Flight comic and associated annuals, Northstar and other members of the team made numerous guest appearances in other titles, particularly Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. Northstar was also featured in miniseries including two X-Men and Alpha Flight series and Secret Wars II.
Let's sober up..it's time to find that galaxy
That was created and named after me
But these rocket hips blew apart the entire
ship so if you find some pieces
just name them after me
Its on fire, it's my empire
It went up so fast I couldn't grab it
Along with medicine and magic
That keeps me breathing right on key
Broken straps strap in the captain thats
praying just for me
and this is so typical...
erased by the author of me...
so dance to some broken chords
with broken knees
through open doors
and save me with a microphone
give me something so i can go home
Don't you have a lesson for me?
I raced concrete to the front row seats
Threw her bows and whiskey kisses and left
her on the street with her hands out
and her head down
Shes nothing more than a movie that never panned out
Hey Mr. Destiny..you forgot about me
You forgot to leave a number
You forgot to name the street
This is American living with my American dream
It thunders like a river but its cold just like a stream
And this is so typical...
Erased by the author of me...
And I know now...
Things dont get much better than this..
Life doesn't get much bigger than this...
