Article Summary
\nAvengers: Armageddon #1 reveals the mystery Avenging Angel
\nChip Zdarsky ties Armageddon to Captain America and Wolverine stories, confirming his return to the war.
\nHis origin is revisited, to a darker fallen hero.
\nNow powered up, he joins the Avengers against Red Hulk. <\/p>\n

Avengers: Armageddon #1 by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz, and Frank Alpizar<\/a> launches today with The Avengers, Spider-Man, Wolverine, The Fantastic Four and more versus The Red Hulk. General Ross and his US Army Hulk soldiers have killed Steve Rogers, Captain America, in their assault on Latveria, taking Doom’s weapons. PrimeWarrior is creating new supersoldiers with the Weapon X programme and the Origin Boxes. General Ross has been gameplaying and planning a totalitarian form of democracy across the globe using Doctor Doom’s predictive technology, and the Battle For Symkaria is coming, intended to kick this all off<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Is<\/a>Armageddon<\/p>\n

\u2026and they have a new avenging angel on their side\u2026 as seen in the teaser. But who is he? He wears a familiar costume certainly\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Captain<\/a>YouTube screencap<\/p>\n

Previously, Bleeding Cool asked if this was Steve Rogers, back from the dead\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Captain<\/a>Captain America #11 by Chip Zdarsky, Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

\u2026or “is that David Colton, the 9\/11 Captain America with new souped-up powers? Is this who this is meant to be?”<\/p>\n

\"Marvel<\/a>Captain America #4 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

We originally thought it might be Sentry<\/a>, but he’s busy with all these heroes in his own book today.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Sentry #4 by Paul Jenkins, Christian Rosado<\/p>\n

Instead\u2026 well\u2026 Wolverine has an idea.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

And it’s certainly a very familiar costume\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

And we get it officially confirmed from the Super Soldier scientists themselves\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

Yup, it’s David Colton, the former Captain America. For the unititated? Well\u2026 he’s Captain America from the Super Soldier programme that started in 2001, while Steve Rogers was still frozen in the ice since World War II. Who, as a boy, saw the towers fall when he was in Manhattan and was similarly driven as Steve Rogers was in the Second World War.<\/p>\n

\"Captain<\/a>Captain America #1 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

Because that’s what the Marvel sliding timescale does now. The Marvel Universe that began with Fantastic Four #1 was time-switched to the 21st century a while ago.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Captain America #2 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

Turned into a super soldier, trained by General Ross, and first appearing in Captain America #1 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti,<\/a><\/p>\n

\""You<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #3 (of 4) by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

And his history was dug into further, more recently, in Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #3 by Chip Zdarsky and Luca Maresca.<\/p>\n

\""You<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #3 (of 4) by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

David Colton, who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq, just as Steve Rogers fought in World War II\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel'sCaptain America #1 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

\u2026even if the moral lines weren’t quite as clear this time around. And also, just saying, a character that Marvel Comics can own when Captain America goes full Public Domain in ten years’ time.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Captain America #2 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

And then teaming up with Steve Rogers when he was fresh out of the ice, to deal with Doctor Doom, who had recently taken over the country of Latveria and deposed the US-approved government.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Captain America #2 by Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

Later, he became part of the team that included Steve Rogers’ Captain America, drafted into by Reed Richards and the US Government to target Doctor Doom in his first week out of the ice.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Captain America #5 by Chip Zdarsky, Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

Two Captain Americas for the price of one. It didn’t go that well.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Captain America #5 by Chip Zdarsky, Valerio Schiti<\/p>\n

He lived\u2026 but that was about all.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

Until recent events in Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon, also written by Chip, when the super soldier programmes that created both Captain Americas and Wolverine were still going, as PrimeWarrior\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Captain<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #2 (of 4) by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

David Colton, who had retired as Captain America in favour of the original, Steve Rogers, went into a bit of a dark place and targeted the people who had made him a super soldier and killed his friends.<\/p>\n

\"Captain<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #2 (of 4) by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

And while he got the blessing of Steve Rogers\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

\u2026 if such a thing were needed\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #4 by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

\u2026 but he also demonstrated that his powers had taken a jump up from the usual super soldier power set\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #4 by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

\u2026as a result of Primewarrior and those origin boxes hanging around\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Wolverine: Weapons Of Armageddon #4 by Chip Zdarsky, Luca Maresca<\/p>\n

David Colton, former Captain America, can fly now. And more\u2026 he can go toe to toe with Captain Marvel.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

Wolverine can trust him. Steve Rogers can trust him (but he’s dead, well almost. Certainly in Hell\u2026)<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

Better the devil Wolverine knows, it seems.<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

And even Tony Stark gets to claim a little responsibility for bringing this ringer onto their team\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Marvel's<\/a>Avengers: Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz & Frank Alpizar<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Avengers, David Colton. Hope you survive the experience and get a cool name of your own. I do like Avenging Angel, but we will see\u2026 Avengers: Armageddon #1 by Chip Zdarsky, Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar<\/a> is published by Marvel Comics today.<\/p>\n
