Substituting one delusion of grandeur for another, his agent convinced him he should try out the superhero gig instead.ĭubbing himself Super-Patriot, Walker set himself apart from Captain America by claiming he stood for the country’s true ideals. ![]() Army veteran who never became the war hero he wanted to be, originally set out to become a professional wrestler. He idolizes the American government, to the point where he’s willing to be its lapdog. Standing at 6’4 and weighing in at 270 pounds, John Walker is a right-wing, conservative Christian who embodies the dangers of blind patriotism. There doesn’t exist a more perfect soldier. He’s the perfect human specimen, but all of that would be mostly meaningless if he hadn’t also conditioned his mind, become a master tactician and an expert in the martial arts, shield training, sword fighting, marksmanship, and acrobatics. The super-soldier serum also granted him advanced longevity. Steve’s powers consist of peak human strength, speed, agility, durability, reflexes, and stamina. As leader of the Avengers, Captain America has inspired generations of heroes both in the pages of comics and onscreen. Steve Rogers first appeared in 1940’s Captain America Comics #1, 71 years before he made his MCU debut in Captain America: The First Avenger.

John Walker is every bit as American as Steve Rogers, and that’s an ugly truth.Īlthough audiences (probably) won’t see Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers face off against Wyatt Russell’s John Walker in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the government-backed “new Captain America” is certain to create plenty of challenges, both physical and moral, for Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). He’s a hero to a very real and vocal side of America, one that Rogers wishes didn’t exist but does nonetheless. Agent, isn’t simply another one of Cap’s rogues. That’s because Walker, Marvel’s former Super-Patriot turned Captain America turned U.S. But few men’s words have sucker-punched Captain America quite like those of John Walker.
