Captain America


CAPTAIN AMERICA

Captain AmericaThe genetically-engineered son of Isaiah Bradley, the first Captain America, Josiah was born in the 1950s, part of an experiment by the government to recreate the Super Soldier Serum. Kept young by the Super Soldier Serum he inherited from his father, he fought in Vietnam, worked as a mercenary, and eventually discovered Islam and made the pilgrammage to Mecca where he took on the name Josiah al hajj Saddiq or Josiah X. He returned to the impoverished area of New York nicknamed Little Mogadishu and opened up a mission. When he was discovered by Steve Rogers, Rogers chose to retire and named Josiah as the new Captain America.


SHARON CARTER

Sharon CarterThe daughter of wealthy Virginians, one of Sharon’s relatives fought in the French Resistance alongside Captain America during World War II. Inspired by these stories, Sharon joined SHIELD where she received the codename Agent 13. After Captain America saved her from the mercenary Batroc, the two crossed paths several times and began working together. Over the years, they’ve had an on-again, off-again relationship. Since Steve retired from his role, Sharon has been assigned to Josiah X as his handler. Although at first she was suspicious of him, she has come to respect him.


THE FALCON

The FalconAfter the murder of his parents, Sam Wilson suffered a nervous breakdown. He adopted the identity of the Falcon and at first turned to a life of crime. While on an assignment as a minion of the Red Skull, the Falcon realized the error of his ways and turned on his employer with the help of Captain America. He was subsequently given more advanced equipment by the Black Panther and, under orders from Henry Peter Gyrich to make the team more diverse, became an Avenger. Following the death of Steve Rogers, the Falcon joined SHIELD and has been assigned to work with Josiah as his new partner.


NICK FURY

Nick FuryDuring World War II, Sergeant Nick Fury led his own squad known as the Howling Commandos. Following the war, he became a test subject for the Infinity Formula, an experimental serum which has prevented his aging. He worked for the Office of Special Services and later the CIA where he retained the rank of Colonel. Later, Fury was recruited by Tony Stark as the Director of SHIELD (Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage and Logistics Directorate), a worldwide espionage and peace-keeping organization answerable only to the United Nations Security Council.


HENRY PETER GYRICH

Henry Peter GyrichFormerly the National Security Council’s liaison to the Avengers, Gyrich clashed with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes on a number of issues during his tenure with them. He later joined the Commission on Superhuman Activities and was recently promoted to the Director of that organization. Although he was very much opposed to Josiah X replacing Steve Rogers as Captain America, Gyrich has softened his position somewhat and has grudgingly agreed to work with the new Captain America. Since then, Gyrich has also been contacted by the shadowy organization known as Control and, unbeknownst to anyone else, has been working as a mole inside their organization for Captain America.
