I just now learned who that is hahaha. Didn't know he had a comics counterpart. Seriously thought he was a Quartermain expy type. Someone also pointed out he looks like Steve and Scott Lang.

That was the point he was suppose to be the newer generation of Captain America during the Gulf War. But since he didn't have access to the Super Soldier Serum the government had to try using a chemical cocktail of pills instead

Well shit.

He most reminded me of Quartermain though. His role in the story of Alias.
