That's right, Part 1 of FOUR. This is the biggest list, yet. Happy Patriot's Day, everyone! Grab a crock of beans or chowdah, a nice Sam Adam's and grab a comfy chair for this 'wicked-awesome' list of those patriotic-looking heroes that Gaz could, and some say "should", add to our little game. There's 54 of them, one for each state, commonwealth, and territory-so buckle in:




1. Isaiah Bradley: Often called the "black Captain America", Isaiah is the result of a Tuskegee-style program called 'Project:Rebirth'. Rebirth's goal was to recreate the success of the creation of Capt. America. The other 299 men from the experiment died. Only 5 made it outside of the experiment. Isaiah is the genetic father of Josiah X and genetic grandfather of Elijah Bradley (Patriot). Isaiah has all of Cap's powers but is bigger and stronger.
2. Bucky: DC has Robin. Marvel has Bucky. The images given could either be James Buchanan Barnes (Bucky-Winter Soldier-Captain America), Fred Davis (V-Batallion), Jack Monroe (2nd Nomad-Scourge of the Underworld), or Rick Jones (A-bomb, Hulk). Other Bucky's: Lemar Hoskins (Battlestar), Rikki Barnes (3rd Nomad), and Julia Winters (Jack Monroe's ward). No reason for him not to be in the game.
3. U.S. Agent: John Walker/Jack Daniels (bourbon much, Marvel?). The last 5 pictures on the first row are the 5 main versions of the US Agent (from left to right): Classic black/red/white shield, eagle shield, 'Maximum Security' (looks like Judge Dredd), 'Force Works'. Before John became the US Agent he was Super-Patriot and even Capt. America. John got his Cap-esque poers from Power Broker, Inc.
4. Jack Flag: Jack Harrison got his Cap-esque powers during a fight with Mr. Hyde when chemicals spilled on him. He's currently on the Guardians of the Galaxy.
5. Patriot: The middle two pictures on the 2nd row are versions of Patriot. The nephew of Josiah X and grandson of the Black Captain America- Isaiah Bradley, Elijah had no powers of his own. He got juiced by using MGH (mutant growth hormone) and lied about it saying he got his powers from a blood-transfusion from his grandpa. Ironically, he later did get a transfusion from Isaiah making his super-soldier powers permament. I love the triangular shield and his throwing stars.
6. Citizen V: There have been 6 Citizen V's. The first two unis looked like a mix of the boy scouts and UPS. The third is when the V-Batallion started using the look we see today. The version I'd want is Helmut Zemo, the 13th Baron. That way we could get a mission and a playable Citizen V- with SWORDS!
7. Josiah X: This super soldier was born from a surrogate using an embryo formed from Isaiah Bradley and his wife. He became a Muslim in Africa and changed his surname. He uses the triangular shield also.
8. Justice: The middle two pics of the bottom row are versions of Justice. The left is Earth-616's Vance Astrovik who took the name Justice while in prison for killing his father. Before that, he was 5th Marvel Boy. The right is Earth-691's Vance Astro. This Guardian of the Galaxy member also goes by Major Victory. These two parallel heroes have met, in fact in one of marvel's most interesting paradoxes, Astro convinced 616 Astrovik to not become an astronaut, thus altering 616's Justice's life. Justice is a telekinetic and on again/off again boyfriend of Firestar. Astro is a psychokinetic.
9. Ms. America: America Chavez comes from a separate Earth-paradise dimension. That dimension was created by Demiurge, the biosphere counterpart to Gaia (Earth goddess). America has super-strength and durability and can fly.
