My first recollection of U.S. Agent or black suit Captain America as i used to to call him as a kid,was back in ’88 or so in issues 339 and 341.These issues left my head spinning because i had a hard time figuring out who the real Captain America was.The fact that John Walker looked just like Steve Rogers made things doubly confusing.I didn’t know if it was Steve Rogers in the black suit or vice versa.And then Iron Man got involved and it went all “Jerry Springer” from there.Anyways,this figure’s been in my collection for a while now without getting his own post,so here it is.I must say that the cool vibe this and the Captain America movie figure used to have has kind of worn off .I actually like the U.S. Agent figure better than C.A. but both have the annoying leg articulation,you guys should know what i mean.It bugs the crap out of me.He’s still a pretty cool figure despite not coming with the tradtional black and red shield(again..not sure if that was U.S. Agents shield or The Captain’s shield….ugh..forget it)
Always a angry fellow this one.
Staunch as they come jb.
I have this one too. I never read Captain America during this time. I just saw him as they trying to do something different with Cap. I still am looking for a regular Cap.
I’ve been looking at the classic Cap’s myself Hobby.
The shield looks pretty fancy yet something out of the ordinary. And it looks like it got some good articulation.
He’s pretty cool Combo ;)But the original black and red shield would have been preferred.
