![]() In the meantime, can we humbly ask for a few fan theories that'll answer how John Walker gets that blood off of his shield? Warm water? Tide pen? Can you dry-clean a Captain America shield? Answers, please. If that happens, it'll be interesting to see who, exactly, is fighting whom in the season finale, between Walker, the Flag Smashers, and the Power Broker. Or not! The dude might be doomed already-just look back at that "power makes you more of yourself" line. That's plenty of time for Sam to calm Walker down in Episode Five, in time for an Episode Six redemption moment. In the serum, the show gives a reminder that power is a means to become something more-but sometimes, what's inside you already might determine what you do with what you've been given. The Flag Smashers are currently in a bit of an identity crisis, but given their feelings of anger and being wronged by the government-the serum has empowered them to truly try to take back the resources they feel will help people. In Bucky, the serum might be the only way to make him powerful enough to right his wrongs and truly become a hero. In Rogers, the power seemed to double his heart, making him strong enough to lead a team of super-humans. ![]() It's an interesting contrast to what the serum's power made more of in Steve Rogers, Bucky, and the Flag-Smashers. And that's what we saw when he used the shield to smash a Smasher's face in. (Just look at what's going on in Georgia.) But as far as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier goes, it's possible that whatever's inside Walker (the insecurity, PTSD, maybe something we don't know yet) has been unlocked by the serum. In the middle of the episode, when Walker's secretly debating whether or not to take the serum, Lemar tells him that "power makes you more of yourself." It's a very Captain America-y riff on what we see when our elected officials run rampant when they get into office. It will be interesting to see whether the MCU's John Walker gets another shield to replace the two that he has now lost, or whether he'll give up on shields and opt for a different weapon.Comics aside, we can probably find more answers in the episode itself. ![]() He also carries a vibranium shield with black stripes where Captain America's has blue stripes, and "US" emblazoned in the center instead of a star. Thanks to the super soldier serum he received from the Power Broker, John's powers in the comics are on par with Captain America's - encompassing super strength and agility, enhanced durability and healing, and highly honed combat abilities. He also reconciled with his old sidekick, Battlestar, and recovered his memories of his true identity as John Walker. US Agent has since served on a number of different superhero teams in the comics, as well as working alone as a mercenary. Not wanting to let a super soldier go to waste, General Haywerth faked John Walker's death, brainwashed him with a new identity as "Jack Daniels," and rebranded him as US Agent, complete with his new black uniform.Īfter being approved by the rest of the Commission, US Agent was sent to join the West Coast Avengers - much to the chagrin of Hawkeye, whose friction with US Agent eventually escalated to a brutal brawl. It was the Commission's attempts to bring Steve Rogers to heel and force him to work directly for the government that drove him to give up his shield, and the Commission who selected John Walker to replace him. Both his parents were of Christian faith, but the Church of England saw them as. His father worked as a smallholder and a weaver. His father owned a small land and a house. It seemed like John was on the road to becoming a full-blown supervillain, but when given a choice between chasing Karli Morgenthau and saving a truck full of hostages, he chose to let Karli go and be the hero he so desperately wanted to be. John Dalton was born in Cumberland, England on September 6 in the year 1276. Though officially stripped of his Captain America title, he made his own shield at home and joined in the final battle against the Flag-Smashers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's season finale teased John's future working with Julia Louis-Drefyus' smooth-talking mystery woman Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, who gives him a black version of his old Captain America uniform and promises him new and exciting opportunities.Īfter hitting rock bottom with a violent public execution and subsequently losing his shield in a battle with the Falcon and the Winter Soldier, John Walker was on the warpath in the series finale. John Walker's tenure as Captain America may be over, but now he has a new name and costume as US Agent. Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier season finale.
