Walker is absolutely loyal to the United States government, and will do nearly anything that they ask. His Captain America remains a Super Patriot. History: John Walker’s older brother died while serving in Vietnam, an event which profoundly changed the young Walker’s life. He was determined to become as much of a hero as his brother had been. He enlisted in the US army, and served well, when he learned of an organization, the Power Brokers, who turn men into supermen. Walker leapt at the opportunity, and was successfully transformed, along with two ex-army buddies. Instead of joining the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, Walker was approached by a man named Ethan Thurm, who had an idea about turning Walker into a hero. Walker and his friends jumped at the chance, and the Super Patriot was born. The Super Patriot was carefully crafted to become the new patriotic hero for America, replacing Captain America. Walker spoke out publicly against Captain America, declaring him obsolete. The Buckies attempted to commit crimes in the name of Captain America, but were foiled. Despite this, Super Patriot’s popularity continued to climb. Steve Rogers was then forced to resign as Captain America. At the same time, Super Patriot saved the Washington monument from a terrorist named Warhead. The United States Commission on Superhuman Affairs chose Walker as Steve Rogers’ replacement as Captain America. Walker tried to get his old friends, the Buckies, and his manager, Ethan Thurm, on the government payroll as his assistants. Thurm and two of the Buckies failed security checks, and Walker was forced to turn his back on them. Since then, Walker has performed a number of missions for the United States government, including a battle against Professor Power that resulted in the death of Power. At present, Walker remains Captain America. |
