Sam Wilson: Captain America #21

[laughing_tree]

"Earlier in my reviews of this run, I commented that Spencer’s version of Sam Wilson reminded me a lot of President Barack Obama. Now that we’ve had more time with him, I see that he’s much more than that. He’s every black person that’s ever had to think about where they fall in the battle of injustice. He’s every one that’s been given power and had it stripped away. Which, eventually, boils down to practically every minority in America. [...] This current run of Captain America: Sam Wilson is going to end up on the syllabus of a really liberal, young-minded sociology professor one day." -- Black Nerd Problems

So I saw one of the signs a protester was carrying up there, and was Sam serving just an MCU thing?

Yes. Sam was a social worker and once ran for Congress in the mainstream 616, but he was never in the military.
