When most of that group disbanded in the wake of the apparent death of the original Human Torch, the USAgent, Union Jack, and the Blazing Skull apparently remained together as a group.

Following a discussion on rec.arts.comics.marvel.universe, I've removed this passage, since no-one on that group has any recollection of such a suggestion in the comics. If there was such a suggestion, please state where. Daibhid C 17:23 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 5th or 6th version of Captain America?

In the first paragraph it lists Walker as the 5th Captain America, but in the second paragraph under the Captain America heading it says "After a meeting with her, Walker was made the sixth Captain America."

Its incredibly unclear as there have been so many Caps and retcons introducing new "old" Caps over the years. See Captain America#Alternate Captain Americas for more of an explanation. I say just take out any nomencluture and just say that he once served as Captain America. Hueysheridan 15:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

it is pretty unclear, but I believe he's the 5th if we go with Steve Rogers as Captain America I. That would make William Naslund/Spirit of 76 Cap II, Jeff Mace/The Patriot was Cap III, The grand director would be Cap IV. Rogers then assumed the role until Walker/Daniels was appointed Captain America V when Rogers refused to be a pawn of the government. This excludes Isaiah Bradley, two perceeds Steve. As does Protocide, though it doesn't seem he ever had the name Cap'n A. There were a series of would be Caps that tried to fill in when Rogers quit in the 60s and 70s (before walker), the only remotely competent one was a friend of steve's who was killed by the skull on his first mission. And the falcon dons the Cap suit for a mission written as a flashback. While we've seen (last i counted) 15 or so characters assumr the title of Cap in the pages of his own books. I'm assuming the 6th Captain America counts Bradley as 1. However, since the government of the marvel U owns the captain america likeness, and only the Cap's listed as 1 through 5 had been appointed to the position, calling Walker cap 5 is strictly accurate.
Too much explanation, I'm sure Impulse 17:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] no mention of his limited series

In a lot of respects it was a series about Scourge, but his first miniseries should probably be given some sort of mention in the article Impulse 17:01, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
