Plot Inconsistencies? Al-Rahman's main objective appears to entail the humiliation and destruction of America in the way his own country was humiliated when the Ultimates invaded, though his dialogue in Ultimates #9 (2nd series) states that he is not looking for revenge. Several issues later in Ultimates #11 (2nd series), Al-Rahman states, 'I've been waiting half my life to rip that flag off your chest.' Not only does this negate his prior claim, it also establishes a possible plot error: Colonel Al-Rahman is only seventeen years old, and the Ultimates' invasion of his country only transpired several months prior. It is possible that he could have been using the term loosely, or held an enmity towards the Captain prior to the fall of his country.

Notes Colonel Al-Rahman's uniform features what appears to be a stylized "W" on his chest and belt buckle, for reasons that have yet to be identified, and likely won't be, since he is dead. The only other Marvel universe character with similar logo is Wonder man aka Simon Williams.

lol, racist Americans, when they manage to create a Muslim super heroe, they make him a vilan! lol! --Striver 11:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

They did'nt even get the name right, Abdul Al-Rahman is gramaticaly incorect, to not mention that Iranian do not use that name. --Striver 11:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

THEY DO IN ULTIMATE IRAN

Regarding the "Plot Inconsistencies", well, I don't think there is any at all. The Colonel didn't have a grudge against the people of the United States (he even orders Pym to use his Ultron robots to help minimize civilian casualties) but against the goverment, His personal vendetta against Cap America was less about having revenge, and more of Abdul seeing him as the embodiment of everything that was wrong with America.
