U.S. Agent

Jonathan F. "John" Walker

  • U.S.Agent
  • Known to Authorities

John Walker, a Georgia army veteran, bought superhuman strength from the Power Broker and debuted as the brash Super-Patriot. When Steve Rogers resigned, the government made Walker the new Captain America, but his violent methods and the murder of his parents pushed him to the edge. After Rogers resumed the role, Walker became U.S. Agent and served with the West Coast Avengers, Force Works and others. He later lost limbs to Nuke during the Siege of Asgard, ran the Raft prison, and remained a hard-edged government operative.
