U.S. Agent is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually those starring Captain America and the Avengers. He first appeared in Captain America #323 as Super-Patriot. He was later redesigned as a new incarnation of Captain America and, a few years later, as U.S. Agent.

First US Agent. I love how they added Isaiah Bradley to the storyline. This is getting good.
Yeah that gave me chills.
I was first hyped at the meta of bucky meeting bucky. They went by Battlestar but everyone knew he was bucky.
And his grandson Eli aka Patriot
@@andremotivation6561 Young Avengers?
@@MisterDriskul maybe, this might be the seeds planted for it
Dude I never heard of that guy before this episode but that was possibly my favorite part of the episode. I really hope they bring him back and we get to see him split some wigs
I've always found John Walker to be a really interesting character and I like seeing him get more attention. Gruenwalds Captain America run is a classic.
He get a lot of hate tho
Yeah its pretty obvious that they want you to hate him and its so sad to see
@@nobodyofknowhere973 In the comics he's a bigot, and a complete asshole....
Love that fight he had w/Hawkeye :P lol
@@derekskelton4187 he kinda is i guess
The Captain America lore is basically Metal Gear Solid and I love that.
Except I understand Metal Gear
Now that you mention it, it does remind me of MGS... lol.
@Shy Cracker SUPER SOLDIER SERUM SON!
Thats legitimately not an exaggeration.

Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
John Walker was so on-the-nose! The costume itself! I was expecting him, but I'm curious to see how far they'll take his character. I like the angle they went for in terms of Sam and Bucky's individual struggles post-Endgame.
Read that run as a kid, I'll always have a soft spot for John Walker.
Hope they actually make him a conflicted and interesting character like in the comics, not just a straight villain.
I think they will - he seems like a “good” guy and wanting to do the right thing but getting angry and telling Sam and Bucky to stay out of his way or else is interesting
Will he appear in the next Avengers movie tho ? So many questions
Well, your wish is served.
He was the best character in the show.
Your wish was granted
I legit feel sorry for John. He is trying so hard to do what he feels is the right thing but the task he is given, to he as good as Steve Rodgers is impossible. I really hope they don’t just make him a straight up villain that he can be redeemed and even have a chance to be his own hero.
You know, i feel that way too. I know he’s trying to live up to Captain America’s legacy but they already selling him short because he’s not steve rogers. Of course, he’s going to be a villain anyway but the plot demands it.
They just did make him a villian
@@samwallen580 nah
Isaiah Bradley next please!
Yes and talk how bad Marvel did the art for it
@@dev_apostle
Yes, the art wasn't very pleasing to look at, it could've been way better.
The artwork for the comic wasn't very good.
@@TheeKingRayzor it is like they wanted it to fail or fall under the radar. The idea was so good ... they wouldn’t have tried out the super soldier serum on some blue eyed blonde white guy at first without working it out on other folks
Yes please do him next and then do his grandson afterwards !
Am I the only one that kinda likes how just badass John Walker Captain America is? Like he's not a good Captain America, but his scenes and how he is he's just a badass
He jst seems rowdy and hotheaded
Yeah like he’s kind of cool in a way. Kind of like The Punisher in a way.
Bruh I like him. He's way too strong as well. He handled bucky and sam on his own if only he finished bucky after knocking him out he would've won. Anyways he threw bucky like nothing.
@@samwallen580 He also fought spiderman in the comics.
@@salikcollins3233 He would've won most prob
I wish people knew more than mcu.. I thank people like you Rob educating the masses.
It's called lack of time and money to read comics. Older ones at that.
The newest ones especially are shitty so that turns people off.
It's a nice way to ease people into comic culture imo
The movie universe is different from the comic book universe, they aren’t the same. So you don’t need to read the comic to understand the movies they stand alone. It’s part of the reason why they’re so popular
Yea man totally rob is a gem
@@ikaikaotteman7723 the movies are like their own comic book run honestly
He’s such a great villain in F&tWS is because he’s real. If you saw your best friend get killed in front of your eyes and you had the power to stop the person that ran with the group who was responsible, most people would. You can sympathize because he has to live up to a person with godly morality. It’s an impossible task.
He’s not an villain more like an anti hero but if he took anger management he’ll probably even a full on hero
He's not even really a villain, just a guy going about the mission in an incompatible way
@@mrmacguff1n yea jus saw the last episode. Pretty disappointing he had a great setup and it kinda seems like they forgot about how heavy they were setting him up.
@@meadowsama5109 yeah, they spent a bit too much time preaching imo. Kurt Russells son did a great job though lol
When you're so early people aren't ganging up to ask Rob for their beyond omega level video
When you don't care.
When you care, but stay stoic.
I loved the fact that John Walker was trained by the Taskmaster getting the Skills he needed to be Captain America.
It could’ve been cannon if they didn’t make him a girl in black widow
getting major “The Boys” vibes from john walker
The next homelander
John walker has always been a great character... And we are living in the age of secret empire.
Wow, I literally just finished the second episode! Great timing as always, Rob!
I believe John walker's enhancements actually made him well above cap in physical strength and regeneration. In fact, it seems the ultimate universe cap is kind of an amalgamation of the 616 cap and US agent, both in his attitude and more so in his physical strength being far greater than 616 cap's.
April 1st is right around the corner.
Beyond Omega Level: Bibbo Bibbowski
April first: EVERY CHARACTER BATMAN CAN BEST WITH PREP-TIME! (And it's just rob going through his extensive knowledge of superheros and explaining how batman could beat them)
1. We need Captain America to be "the soul of America" again. The Good Guy who does good guy things. The leader of the force. The Man of action who can get it done.
2. USAgent needs to come back as the "The Good Guy who can and will do ugly things if they get the job done". USAgent would have his own Avengers Team who are much more willing and able to lay the smack down.
The main difference between John and Steve is their time period. I do believe that he does want to protect America and make it safe but due to the type of warfare he fought in, most likely being Iraq it’s modeled him into a more angry and ‘split’ person. In comparison to Steve who lived in a simpler time, design everything in black and white, making it easier to understand the situation. In essence it’s the time period, war now is not the same by a long shot, their are dangerous things around every corner now which can really mess up a person, John is that type of complex character, someone who does believe in Captain America’s message but has been changed due to his circumstances
At least to me. But what do you guys think?
Exactly 👏
Walker crushing a man brought me here
I remember you saying you'd make a list of super powered or chemically enhanced heroes and I would looooove that list. I've always wondered more about Luke Cage and Jessica Jones and how they match up to Steve, Walker, Karli and others who have received the Super Soldier Serum. Anyways keep it up, love the channel; been a fan back when the channel was marvel comics explained! Thank you for always making DOPE content.
Curtis Jackson?????LMAOOOOOOOOOO..G G G G GEE UNIT!!
I like how both the Russels are in the MCU now
Me too. I feel like Goldie should show up at some point.
Beyond Omega Level: Lord Drakkon
Divine destroyer that you?
Beyond Omega Level: Hulk's Pants
He not ready for Power Rangers lol
I think marvel has a golden opportunity both in the comics and the cinimatic universe to give u.s. agent better character development and make him likable. Instead of being the extreme version or the guy who failed as captain america. I just feel he has a lot of potential as a character and can be so much more.
50 Cent will cameo in the show as The Powerbroker! 😂
Curtis Jackson
Hilarious
Who didn’t want to start break dancing with that outro music score... electric boogaloo!!
i have shazamed an outro just like 2 weeks ago, he really delivers some music here:)
Yet another passing over of JM Dematteis' run on Cap, one of the most underrated runs in Marvel history. The leadup to and subsequent issue 300 were fantastic, and this was right before Gruenwald took over.

Rob should make a channel just for doing these videos
@@galactusthehungry2681 agreed

@@galactusthehungry2681 This channel for stories, and then the "Beyond Omega Level" channel for explaining characters power sets and origins
Please explain Isaiah Bradley and his son Patriot this week
Patriot is his grandson.
His son is Josiah Bradley or Josiah al Hajj Saddiq or Josiah X, Elijah aka Patriot is his grandson by his daughter who was born before the US government conducted the Super Soldier Serum experiment. Josiah was seen in the comics The Crew alongside War Machine and Kasper Cole aka White Tiger who Black Panther uses as his agent in the US.
Rob, you skipped the part where Sam as Cap actually defeated USAgent despite the fact that USAgent is even stronger than Steve. This is why Steve chose Sam to succeed him in the first place...he can beat opponents by using his experience and wits
Rob gives too much opinion instead of facts. Just read the u.s. agent wiki. Probably also just opinions but you will just waste 10min instead of
@Vilfredo Pareto how is it fake?
I think he leaves out details so he can cover the series later on
Yeah, I get it, but it seems a bit too fictional to think that a simple human being can defeat super-humans, that part from the series seemed a bit off, and I don't think Sam will be "Captain America" for long, he just does not fill the shoes, and I can't imagine even leading the avengers, he just does not have it.
@@moive4823 Batman defeats superhumans all the time. Man-Bat, Clayface, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze...hell, I've seen a comic where Batman beat Solomon Grundy with his bare hands. No one complains about how unrealistic it is when he does it
MCU John Walker is probably the most hated character right now, despite his 8 second cameo last week, & I think it's mainly because he looks like the old man from Disney/Pixar's Up
It has already become an internet meme
@@joshuamelton9148 who knew?
His name is Carl bro
He literally looks like the Troll face.
He looks better with his mask off...like the opposite of Kylo Ren lol
Falcon & Winter Soldier show seem to have taken this take of Walker as not being bad but also not being squeaky clean either. Remains to be seen how far he is willing to go to push his (and the US Govs) view of Captain AMerica vs Sam Wilson.
First time I noticed that the artists continually got the facing of the American flag wrong on the right shoulder in the comics. In the US Military basically, the idea behind the backward American flag on Army uniforms is to make it look as though the flag is flying in the breeze as the person wearing it moves forward. The rule is that the blue field of stars should always be in the highest position of honor on the uniform. That position has always been the right shoulder with the flag's blue stars facing forward. I'm surprised so many artists have got this wrong over the decades.
I really would like to see Rob debate other comic book readers one day, on his basis of what he deems some of the best stories ever written. And find out what his basis for saying that really is, could he even back that up as a legitimate claim.
I'd love to see him debate Young Rippa. Pretty sure I'd pay to see it lol.
I'm so optimistic right now! More fleshed out characters is how we fall in love and relate to these characters. So digging into Falcon is so welcomed. But, jumping into Isaiah and John? I'm in! Let's do this!
Found this channel yesterday and you do such a good job of explaining that after like 15 hours it has now replaced me listening to podcasts at work so I can catch up on all this comic lore
I really enjoyed when John Walker was the warden of the raft during the thunderbolts. He was super badass
Hopefully he run into Taskmaster
@@joneshugh maybe thats how the black widow movie will connect to the future of the mcu even thought its in the past . Taskmaster may stay around afterwards
6:05 I didn't realize 50 cent was in marvel comics selling super powers
This is doubly funny when you realize he's the executive producer on the Starz show, Power.
Reality is funnier than fiction sometimes
Just saw the 4th episode and i love John Walker. Dude went up against super soldiers without the serum, then took the serum and whooped them. Then that ginger killed his friend and made him bloodlusted. I've got no problems with his decisions or character so far.

You really explain things coherently and thoroughly. Thanks
I actually had the Captain America no more issues. I remember the covers and John Walker saving the monument.
I hope they don't kill him off. I would love to see him develop in a force works show.
Thanks for the info! i have been watching your channel to catch up on the comics i have missed
I always loved the us agent and I really hope he stays around love him and the actor
That scene where he caved that dudes skull in was awesome
I remember John walker had a black Bucky
And I saw in the show he has a black teammate
I think in the comics,black Bucky had power🤔
and a mini shield made with adamantium🛡
(When I was a kid I thought someone took
Wolverine ‘s arm to make that mini shield)😂
Yup I remember that too. That "Bucky" was actually Lemar Hoskins aka Battlestar
Thank you for making this video! Answered all of the questions I had! Love your channel man!
Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!
I didn’t know 50 Cent was in Marvel... Curtis Jackson
Lol said the same thing
I like that he is not a super soldier, but he is pretty much just a good soldier. Showing how Captain America does not have to have powers, just courage.
I can't wait until he get the Serum
Nah without the serum cap would get shot and die so fast
15:12 STARS? I guess they sent out Mr X to recruit them
Thx, bro.. once again, youve put everything into perspective... i stopped reading comics when i joined the Navy in 1986. Loved west coast avengers w/ she-hulk, vision, etc... never heard the rest of the story.. thanks to you, i finally caught up on my Green Lantern, though... as always, you are my goto comic lover. Blackest Night was the first of many, in 34 years since high school. A fantastic read! Minus Disney, i hope they make that into a chain of movies... Flash as a blue lantern, etc... regardless, all WILL be well... love that line, double meaning and all.. long live the corps!
Where’s the X of swords FULL STORY!?!? Rob please!!!!!!! 👍🏿😁
“Majik is an idiot!” That’s all you need to know.
Awesome been waiting for this one
No mention of Omega Flight? I loved when US Agent was on that squad!
Nice man good job. A few things on JW though, after his augmentation received by the power broked he had close to 15 times steve rogers strength. He also never intentionally hurt anyone as CA except after his parents were deliberately gunned down infront of him - and who wouldn't. He was certainly not a 'poor mans' captain america or steve rogers.. he was CA in his own right with just as much depth of character and general awesomeness. The version marvel had portrayed on the falcon and winter solder series is a shadow of the original character from the comics.
What's sad is that even though I had a USAgent figure as a kid, until recently I always thought it was Captain America during some time that the government pissed him off and he changed things up to operate differently, kind of like he was at the beginning of Infinity War.
It was. That's caps original suit when he quit being cap. It was given to him by D man. The gov bought it off steve later and used it for US Agent.
..aka walker.
@@grios5530 cool, thanks for letting me know I'm not entirely crazy.
I bet no one caught the Easter Egg that the new Captain America is Peter Quills brother!
huh
For some reason I remember someone mentioning that lol
@@eastcoastpaper3862 The actor playing John Walker, Wyatt Russell, is the son of Kurt Russell, who played Peter’s father, Ego the Living Planet.
Thanks a ton, this was super helpful!
Episode 2 spoilers
Bro patriot from the young avengers is there in episode 2 he’s Isaiahs grandson it’s him 4 of the members are there
Thanks for the history lesson on this character.
Rob again with the great outro music!!!!
The PUNISHER is SO SICK that he ran Wolverine over with a steamroller!!!😂
Is no one gonna talk about how John Walker holds a shocking resemblance to Homelander?
Not really
Hey Rob, I think you should do something on Invincible. Just caught the first 3 episodes on Amazon Prime and thought they were amazing..Peace.
I'm not a big comic head, but I knew US Agent from Marvel vs Capcom. He was an assist only character.
Fantastic vid!!! Thanks a lot!
Hey Rob, that thing you do with the "Other Universes Mixing" By any chance can you do "X-Men meeting Mr.Jonathan Hickman". With a hint of 'Orchis-Agents' trying to kill them?!...🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞 🤞
I love your channel and your laugh! Lots of info and positivity
Will you be covering taskmaster? Its really good.
He should
That insight about long game storytelling was well done man. 🤙
I never knew John Walker was Space Ghost or Judge Dredd! Lol
very helpful, worth the watch
6:05 50 cent gave US agent his powers lol
I never really got into reading comics so I don’t know about the backstory I just enjoy the movies I really like your Content and your voice is really chill and cool
You are amazing Rob! So much comic info!
I do think that the IDEA of Cap bring Hydra is dumb AF, seems they put a lot of work and love into it. Also that armor is sick and I don't know why the avengers all do not have Iron Spider like armor.
I love these videos! Became a fan of Marvel through the MCU and always come here to educate myself 😅
Ed Brubaker Captain America - greatest Captain America run, by miles
They made him such a great character in the Falcon show. I really am glad they didn't make him an unreasonable asshole
Steve “I can do this all day” Rogers
John “Thank me for my service” Walker
Maybe Marvel would replace Steve Rogers. But I do not believe there ever was any intention to replace him with John Walker. Walker's flaws were evident from the very beginning. The point was instead to pump up interest in Rogers, and those letters you are talking about are evidence that the plan was working. Those cries to bring back Steve were music to Mark's ears.
If we want to talk about something that really missed the mark, there is Cap Wolf.
Best 23 min knowledge buff on UA-cam about mew season of Falcon/WSoldier! 🤩 thanks
wow, great video. thanks so much
What you said about that Jane Foster Thor is completely correct. That run was awesome.
I read comics as a kid but stopped... never stopped loving them though. Thank you for your "tutorials?". You bring the comics to life through your obvious passion for them, and me up to date on what's out there. Thanks!
P.S. Welcome to Colorado.
The adaptation of John Walker's storyline in the show was on point!
Love how they used Kurt russels son
Great vid, as always!
I think in the comics he also got his arm and leg cut off during the siege but definitely has been bounced around a lot.
I think you forgot to mention he was part Alpha flight at onetime.
Awesome video dude! What is the name of the song you use for the outro track? Its funky and I love it
Only 4 episodes left , we know Sam & Bucky get the shield so I don’t think the character will have much of an impact , although I could be wrong.
He will probably join Ross Thunderbolts
Is that organization “THE HAND”? It’s literally the hand symbol.
That-
I'm pretty sure they had already announced that he was going to be in the show.
I think you doing reviews of the episodes would be so great!
Really like the character in MCU I wonder if he's going to get his black suit soon
