I always wondered why there was a U.S. Agent. I'd understand if he was a Captain America villain but he's really one of the good guys. He did beat Cap in their first ever fight though. Heck, he's even taken down Iron Monger.
Perhaps he stands for something in American politics, like for the Democrats to Cap's Republicans? But if that were the case, why name him John Walker, as in after the Scotch Whiskey? He's even got "Jack Daniels" listed as one of his aliases. Seriously. Someone was obviously drinking when they came up with his secret identity.But I've always been a sucker for characters that seem like a poor man's version of the real thing.
I mean, Optimus Prime is my favorite Transformer but Ultra Magnus is so annoyingly lovable for the Wannabe he is. I love Captain Marvel (Shazam!) out of DC, who started out as Fawcett comic's answer to Superman. I like Captain America as much as the next guy but U.S. Agent? There's something bootleg about him that I dig. Yeah, it's all about piracy. GAARRRRR!!!So uh, yeah...Yeaheaheaheah, party in the U.S.A...gent?
