10 Patriotic Superheroes Who Wont Fit "The Message"

[@AllanTidgwell]

Two corrections 1. It's American MAID. Her stars and stripes are a maid uniform 2. Strongbow is a surname of both American Indians and Europeans. The reason such last names feel over the top is because we associate them with stereotypes and jokes. But these names actually existed. Just to list some examples: Jerry Lonecloud, Quannah Chasinghorse, Rudy Youngblood, Jay Siverheels, Michael Greyeyes, Ashley Callingbull, Monica Crowfoot, But Europeans have similar last names; Lightfoot, Redfern, Ashbrook, Windsong, Birdwhistle, Winterbourne, Twelvetrees, Featherstone... The key is to have the surname be fitting of the tribe. You don't have a Micmac with the surname Bylilly, and you don't have a Sioux with the last name Sylliboy. But this is why creatives need to do their research

[@Rensune]

The one that immediately springs to mind (that should've been on this list) is Liberty Belle. DC hero, mom of Jessie Quick.

[@ProfArmitage218]

The creator of American Eagle may have been a wrestling fan. Chief Jay Strongbow was a popular professional wrestler in the 1970s and early 1980s. Of course, he was actually an Italian-American pretending to be Native American to stand out from other wrestlers, but he may have been the source of the name.

[@Cervando]

How did you miss out the Shield? The character that kicked off the entire patriotic superhero, and which Jack Kirby copied so blatantly, that Marvel had to settle out of court with MLJ.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

Original plan was to do multiple of these

[@wendellbenedict4793]

I've always wanted to see live movies of the Freedom Fighters, Sgt Rock, Blackhawk, and the Unknown Soldier.

[@MrDman21]

The Spirit of 76, basically the New England Patriots logo in comic book form 😂

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

First appearance of his secret identity was Action Comics #1. He started as a cowboy

[@CrossComics]

The Shield by Archie Comics

[@Gary-zq3pz]

(music) Oh, let us go a-Ramboing out on the town tonight! With an Uzi in my left hand, a machete in the right, oh let us go a-Ramboing tonight!

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

God bless the 80's and every good person forged from them

[@doctorwho03]

Captain Liberty from the live action THE TICK series. 😉👍

[@movienaut]

What about Major Glory, from Dexters Laboratory? He showed true patriotism against the universal wrestler champion Razzlor!

[@truckshackley373]

And he did so with minty fresh breath

[@BraydenLaver]

What about Kamen America from Iconic Comic's?

[@donaford1259]

How About Liberty Belle???

[@phayroent9742]

@@donaford1259 because she is a SHE and also she isn't actually a perceived 'glorification' of American patriotism.

[@multi-voiceentertainment7013]

It's just too bad that General Glory was made to be a carbon copy of Captain America in the DC comics. And surprisingly they killed him off.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

The Shield was the very First 'Flag Suit'! He predated Captain America by months! Isn't America Chavez actually an Illegal Alien?

[@michaelwilson2340]

The Patriot from The Liberty Legion ( also the third Captain America) and Commander Steel from the All Star Squadron.

[@joesaotome7572]

1st off, grinding on Rob Liefield is never out of vogue. A hack of his class deserves all the crass. 2nd, the Marvel character American Dream, Captain America's successor in the short-lived alternative future Marvel universe.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

I think there should be a sequel to this video. Getting a lot of suggestions. Some i saved for a sequel, and some I am being reminded of

[@UnclePengy]

How could you possibly forget MAJOR GLORY? "Well, I AM America, mister! Do you think you can contend with the speed of America? The strength of America? The Constitution of... America?" Also, it's American Maid, not American Made. Because she's a maid. In a maid's uniform.

[@truckshackley373]

Plus any attempt to unmask him was futile (he wore several masks at once)

[@TheSmalltownhick]

I thought Phantom Eagle was a World War ONE hero.

[@popstarprincess123]

I wasn’t expecting this I’m very happy though

[@biffstrong1079]

Loved the Tick And American Made. Hotski Trotski??

[@MrKD1970]

The fact that you sang the great American melting pot made this video. 2 thumbs up.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

Down from 10? I am proud to show my age

[@Goldenbane]

I guess he doesn't count because he's a video game character and not a comic book character, but I loved The Minute Man from the old Freedom Force computer game back in the early 2000's! The whole game was inspired by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee era silver age comic books! His sidekick, Liberty Lad was also a lot of fun!

[@neospock5034]

Yep, Minute Man's origin story was pure Silver Age goodness! And the voice acting for Nuclear Winter - great stuff!

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

The minute Man was a golden age hero acquired by DC from Fawcett. Along with Captain Marvel and a bunch of other characters

[@neospock5034]

​@@EnglentineILovecomics wow- a Fawcett character?! I would never have guessed. So did Irrational Games just slightly rewrite Minute Man's backstory to have a Cold War era origin instead of WW2?

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

Honestly never played or even heard of the game you are talking about. I am a fan of the Freedom Force comic book though.

[@TrillKump]

You'd put on a native head dressing to show respect? Would you wear a purple heart medal to show your respect? Do you not get it? no?

[@yoman8027]

I think he was being ironic.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

I am not quite sure when I said i would wear the head dress, but seeing it as racist that an American Indian would is pretty ridiculous. It has been called racist in the past.

[@angrytheclown801]

Cool down man, relax. No one is wearing a headdress around here. You don't need to speak for other people right now.

[@creed8712]

If “the message” is keeping us from ever seeing Yanke Poodle again it can’t be that bad honestly

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

You would be wrong. ;)

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

Never say an unkind word about the Zoo Crew!

[@dwellyn]

I completely agree the Uncle Sam should be number one and couldn't agree more with your exclusions. However, I do think that Miss America should have made the cut. And by that I mean Madelyn Joyce, the original Miss America, though Liberty Belle would have been a good contender.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

I do have plans for another

[@viperleader001]

What about U.S. Agent? Battle Star and the other guy that was with him, I can't remember his name.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

I think his name was Corky. Or Skippy. Maybe Flappy? Something ending in Y but spelled with an IE

[@sawtooth808]

There were no others with USAgent and Battle Star, now they had former teammates that turned against them, called themselves Left Winger and Right Winger (I am not making this up)

[@michealnelsonauthor]

Next LibertyCon, who’s gonna Cosplay as one of Americas Patriotic heroes?

[@kurtm1943]

good count down

Keep Yankee poodle away from the furries.

True fact

[@lonknight3197]

I got 1 you probably never heard of, The Americancommando ( one word) he was only ina 2 part Freedom Fighters comic his costume was a reverse color scheme to Capt A. Red base with just a little blue , it was a DC story where they made exact copys of Marvel Invaders and had them fight the Freedom Fighters Uncle Sam, DC did a copy of the Submariner, the 2 Torches ect.

[@EnglentineILovecomics]

I do know the Americommando. The Freedom Fighters are awesome. We do a somewhat not serious reading of their first appearance kzbin.infowCcA1FKePFU

I have been a fan of the Zoo Crew since i picked it up as a kid. Re read them in Showcase form. Forgot how many animal puns are there

[@sonnysantana5454]

even as a kid i didn't care for the jingoistic spewing capes , i always liked the few anti heroes that were about their warn't many at marvel comics in the 70's and DC only had jonah hex but they were oddly kool

Robert Frank is one of my favorites since I was a kid. I've collected every book I can find that he's appeared in. Even some reprints from the 40's.

This is not the channel to bismirch the genius of the great Gabby Rivera and her revolutionary take on America Chavez. Seriously I roasted her comic as some of my first videos. They made the channel take off. This is literally the house that Chavez built studio.kzbin.info2P01Mt_JFmM/edit
