Synopsis
John Walker reveals his backstory to Val Cooper. A former Vietnam vet, he wanted to become a hero and received his powers (along with Lemar) from the Power Broker. Instead of joining the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation to repay his debt, Ethan Thurm convinced John to take him on as a manager and, with Thurm's financial backers, mapped out a strategy to become a national hero. The Commission selects the costumed adventurer known as Super-Patriot to be the new Captain America. They require he drop Thurm as his manager and that only one of the Buckies can continue to assist him.
