Old guy here. During his 90s run, John Walker was used as Marvel's answer to Guy Gardner. Guy was inexplicably very popular during this time as the unapologetic a-hole everyone loves to hate on the Justice League. Every appearance of USAgent then just seemed like a attempt to capture that Gardner magic but he did not. Also, the story of his time as replacement Captain America was much better and more plausible than Knightfall over a DC imo.

Also grasping for straws to hate the guy, like what's wrong with being called a 'wingman'.

Sorry in advance I didn't know your comment was from 2 years when I wrote it 💀 ​​Marvel has an app called Marvel Unlimited were you can pay a subscription to get access to most if not all their comics. Depending on how many you read it's better value than buying them but obviously you lose access to them when the subscription runs out. They can be a bit awkward to read too since its on a small phone screen so you pretty much have to stay zoomed in and constantly move the page around and some pages work better landscape while others work better portrait so you'll probably be turning your phone around quite a lot. Also depends wether you're fine with digital comics and not owning them physically but it makes it good for trying out comics you might not have bought a physical copy of. There might be better options but hats all I know of.

Walker wears the "Captain" outfit because him and Cap's dry cleaning got mixed up (they look pretty similar, after all). Since Walker's memories were all scrambled, he just assumed that was his uniform. These things happen from time to time in the Marvel universe. By the time he realized, he and Cap agreed that it looked "super badass" on him, so he kept the look.

Funny thing about the energy shield Walker used during his time in force works: That shield actually got used by Steve Rogers later on. When Steve lost the Captain America mantle after he had helped the Red Skull to invade a secret military base (Long story, had to do with his first resurrection after he died while wearing his 90ies power armor) he was given that shield by Sharon Carter when he started to work as a hero without a code-name during the story-arc "Enemy of the state".

Also: Said shield didn't survive Steves trip to Latveria and thus is never brought up again (because he got another bootleg one from Dr. Doom afterwards to go save Bill Clinton. Yes, seriously, and Clinton btw wields the real shield for a panel at the end)

Great video, Drake! One of my favorites! :) U.S. Agent really seems to be an interesting character. We’ve seen him interact with both Steve Rogers and The Falcon, but we’ve never seen a situation where he interacts with The Falcon and The Winter Soldiers when Steve is dead. The dynamics and struggle of legacy can be really interesting in the show. All in all, I’m really glad he’s getting his own solo series, because finally this can be a way where his continuity is consistent and they can experiment with the character, it seems Marvel has finally found out what to do with him! Maybe since Marvel has handled how his character operates in teams horribly, he can take up more of a role like Spider-Man: Where he shows up for Events, but for the most part, he flies solo. Maybe he can be interesting in a team, but closely examining his life and thoughts seems way more interesting than having him share comic-time with 5 other heroes and not really being able to be more than just “Team leader with stereotypical personality” (But who knows, it could work, I haven’t read the comics) All in all, great video Drake!

Isn’t black airforce energy

I think Marvel should bring back the Dark Avengers with USAgent as the leader again. It'll give them a reason to re-power Skarr and bring Clint's brother back into action. The roster could be a Mix of the two versions of the team, with Skarr, Trickshot, Moonstone, Daken, and maybe even the current Venom to replace Mac Gargan. It could work as a pseudo-Thunderbolts team like it was in Walker's run with the team.

You mean Skaar? There are other Gamma Mutates that would work better though.

This is the best comic Drake video I’ve ever seen

Earned a new sub i very much like your videos.

Sorry I couldn’t be here at the start of the premiere. It was a great video nonetheless!

3:52 Holy shit! The show was straight-up from the comics.

I have the same glasses. Nice vid bro!

Love the video, Drake!

I’m curious how far ahead you recorded this in preparation for whenever USAgent actually showed up in the series. It seems far too well researched and edited for you to have scrapped it together on Friday itself. Huge props!

I always recognized US Agent as the headstrong tough guy Capt A that was kinda like a lancer to the OG Capt and his replacements. Anyway love the character and love the new limited series!

was worried Mace was retconned for a second but looking it up it seems his character was Patriot.

Yup. He became the third Captain America after the second one (William Naslund, aka the Spirit of ‘76) was killed fighting a mad robot called Adam II in 1946. He retired from the Cap role in 1949.

So shocked when I saw that blood splattered shield. Lookin forward to him on Thunderbolts/Dark Avengers.

Hi drake, I’ve been reading the 2005 runaways series lately and I found something very weird. So basically when the future version of Gert goes to the past she says that it must be 2005 because Karolina is still alive. This got me thinking, so I googled Molly’s age and she is 11 years old. And the the writer of the new 2017 runaways series confirmed that Molly just turned 13 during or shortly before the first issue. Does this mean earth-616 is currently in the year 2007? I’m really confused, please help. And thanks for your awesome videos.🙏

Marvel operates on a sliding time-scale, which means events dates change relative to the current year the books are being published. So even though the book said it was 2005, as of right now it actually takes place a nebulous 2 years ago from the current date. So basically don't take years at face value in Marvel or DC comics, those dates will change as time goes on.

@@AussieDragoon The old joke is that the only thing that doesn't slide through time in comics is that Captain America always fought in WW2.

He holds his E’s out for to LONG

I dont know what to think of the character based off the summary. On the one hand "discount Captain America" could be a fun topic to explore, but on the other, all the attempts to do so sound like flops. My only potential suggestion is to bring him to an era outside of steve rodgers, then make him either the era's new captain america, or the archenemy of the era's captain america. Either way, i can see why the character generally flopped, as "imposter syndrome" is strong. Why should the audience care about him? It doesnt matter how compelling the story within the books themselves are if the marketing front/first impressions are just "knock-off captain america".

I can not for the life of me tell if having 9/11 victims on his shield was genius in how ridicously over the top it is showing the weird lengths unhealthy patriotism will go, or just plain stupid. I love it.

Why not both?

i don't read a lot of comics (too expensive) so i don't know if theyve done this but heres an idea for how he can stay relevant. have him be a part of a group in SHIELD. have him work with black widow, hawkeye, winter soldier, taskmaster even. have some cool black ops stuff, new Howling Commandos team

So is he a hero or a villain since he’s appearing in a new show? Let’s consult the comics! The comics: hell if we know lol

Sometimes for MCU stuff the twist is obvious if you follow the comics (Agatha All Along, Mysterio being a bad guy) but then there's characters like this with weird and messed up histories that not even the writers can keep track of.

I think I would use U.S. Agent as the MC trying to synthesize and make sense of all the different shadowy government agencies in Marvel. Like there have to have been at least 20 of them so I think there's a good story there.

If he opens his jacket at the end and a star is there awesome

“I’m just gonna hold this empty coffee cup”

I had a small action figure if U.S. Agent, before I knew much about comics. I thought he was the coolest thing ever and I played with him for years

Wow this video aged very well after the final episode. The views are just pouring in

i have no idea what makes a person enlist in the army, the concept itself blows my mind

As much as I really don't like the military, I know that it's necessary, just not to the extent that the United States keeps theirs. I don't fundamentally think that every soldier is a hero and I also don't understand what could compel someone to enlist, but I'm glad and thankful for the people that do so I don't have to.

Constant Propaganda that gets people posting stuff like, "they sacrifice their comfort and happiness out there , you people get to sleep peacefully at night," as if killing a bunch of people in the middle east wasn't the reason so many groups want us dead in the first place. Or poverty leaving you with very little options outside of enlistment. Those are the two big ones. Usually both. Also, not everyone who ends up in the Military even ends up deployed to a combat zone, and an even smaller percent of that group will actually end up being anywhere they could "nobly sacrifice themselves to protect people thousands of miles away sleeping in their beds." Yeah, I really need to show my gratitude all the 92Gs who cook meals for the Army Officers who give the orders to get some twenty year old kids high on patriotism killed.

I mostly just knew US Agent as the Captain America knockoff support character in MvC lol. I mean he was literally just a pallet swap in MvSF (even more than War Machine in MvC2, his moveset is _exactly_ the same) and MvC.

Glad you spoke about the BattleStar name change...I have the comic

Drake has come a long way from his days on Screwattack. Good work man!

Man what a research one of the best videos ever cool

Thanks Drake, you uncovered so many things I didn't know about Walker! Also, will you do a video on the new United States of Captain America coming out in June? I've already pre-ordered my copy!

6:26 I'm betting on the fact that they made a copy of it

God this is gonna be a fun show!

I laughed out loud when they showed the dudes face😆😆😆

KGBeast, USAgent. I love these wacky names.
