It's the 4th of July. A day of our declared Independence, a day of patriotism. A day we celebrate with BBQs, fireworks and American flag apparel. In the spirit of this day of patriotism, I have developed a list of great American superheroes. I won't go into great detail of the heroes, but here they are.
10. SuperPatriot
A cyborg who was once Johnny Armstrong, a soldier during WWII. He would be captured by the Germans and experimented on, gaining super strength in the process. He would later become over powered by a group of supervillains, having his limbs and most of his face eaten by Mako a sharkman. Left for dead he would be transformed into a cyborg by the group Cyberdata.
9. US Agent
John Walker, a former US soldier, would receive his powers from the Power Broker. (a mysterious person who granted super powers) He would have a brief stint as the Sixth Captain America, as Steve Rogers was on the outs with the Government.
8. Patriot (Eli Bradley)
Eli Bradley, the grandson of Isaiah Bradley ( The Black Captain America) initially received his superhuman abilities artificially from the Mutant Growth Hormone. (An illegal street drug that causes brief periods of superhuman abilities.) He would later gain permanent powers after receiving a blood transfusion from his grandfather, after taking a blast meant captain America.
Libby Lawrence, her super powers are triggered by the ringing of the Liberty Bell. Once it rang no villain was safe from her but-kicking.
6. Star Girl
Courtney Whitmore was the second Star Spangled Kid, before she received the Cosmic Staff from Starman Jack Knight, changing her name to Stargirl.
5. Shield
Credited as the first Patriotic superhero, created by Archie comics. Joe Higgins was a chemist, who was continuing his father's research of super strength. Upon figuring out he would apply it to his various organs.
4. Uncle Sam
Because he had several origins i will link his wiki Here. But come on it's Uncle Sam, hard to get more patriotic and American then him.
3. Isaiah Bradley
Known as the Black Captain America, was part of a group of African-Americans in Project: Rebirth that were used as test subjects to recreate the Super Soldier formula that created Captain America.
2. Superman
Upholding Truth, Justice and the American way. Superman is known as the first Superhero. He lives to inspire man to do good and live to their potential. An orphan from a dying planet, he is an immigrant, and embodies the spirit of what made the US as we know it.
1. Captain America
The Super Soldier, Steve Rogers was a scrawny kid from New York. He was a true american hero long before he donned the red, white and blues. A man respected by all of his peers, he is the embodiment of The American can do, never quit, fighting spirit.
