John Walker: U.S. Agent #4

[cyberghostface]

 

"The challenge to writing a character like Captain America, or, for that matter, Superman, is building tension and conflict within an ostensibly perfect individual. Most human beings, even the best among us, are simply not built that way. Even the best of us try and fail. But there is nobility in our trying, so our best leaders will always inspire us to try, regardless of the circumstances.

"The kind of hope Cap or Supes offers us is palatable but more easily consumed by younger people who have experienced less of the disappointment and rejection most of us encounter as we grow up. John Walker offers hope to the real world of our adult struggle." -- Christopher Priest

Though that was because Batman at the time was kind of an asshole and not because Huntress was a jingoistic moron
