Talk:U.S. Agent

message: When most of that group disbanded in the wake of the apparent death of the original Human Torch, the USAgent, Union Jack, and the Blazing Skull apparently remained together as a group.
Following a discussion on rec.arts.comics.marvel.universe, I've removed this passage, since no-one on that group has any recollection of such a suggestion in the comics. If there was such a suggestion, please state where. Daibhid C 17:23 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)
I believe that this may have been stated in U.S. Agents entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. I may be able to provide reference later, however I can confirm that it has never been stated on-page elsewhere.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.112.180 (talk) 17:22, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

message: It might be noteworthy or at least a little fun to list the various shields he used and their features and when/where they appeared.  The sheilds he used while with the Avengers, the Jury, S.T.A.R.S., New Invaders, and so on.  Just a thought.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.8.230.39 (talk) 17:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anybody else think it's odd that the US Agent has the same name as one of the most notorious spies in American history? Particularly since that spy was caught right about the time the US Agent was created (mid 1980s)?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.97.69.26 (talk) 22:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  U.S. Agent or U.S.Agent? 

message: I expect this character to be notable, but this needs to be shown better than through listicles (rankings). I've added some prose but note this is really related to Super-Patriot (Marvel Comics). Having same text trying to estabilish notability of two pages is not idea. Please improve the reception to show how this character in various variants received recognition etc. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:22, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: There are some facts that proves he is evangelical christian, or have some affinity with that movement. For example:
- In Captain America # 333, when John Walker becomes the new Captain America, he says that his father was an evangelical minister and that he grew up in a religious family.
- In Captain America # 354, when Walker adopts the name of U.S. Agent, he is shown praying in a church before his first mission with the West Coast Avengers.
- In Avengers West Coast # 69, when the Avengers face a cult called the Universal Church of Truth, U.S. Agent says that he knows what it is like to be deceived by a false religion, and that he found the truth in the gospel.
- In U.S. Agent Vol. 2 # 1, when Walker returns to his hometown in Georgia, he is seen visiting his father's grave in the cemetery of the Southern Baptist Church.
These facts indicate that U.S. Agent has a personal history and a connection with evangelicalism, especially with the Southern Evangelical branch, which is the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. 
He has some elements of that religious tradition in his origin and personality. JordiWild98 (talk) 16:02, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You can construct this argument on the talk page, but editorializing in the article like you did here is not appropriate. What you found certainly does indicate that he is a Christian of some type, but guessing which type is original research. If in a comic book he says "I am an evangelical" or one of the creators comes out and says "he is an evangelical" then we are good to report it, but otherwise we should stick to provable facts rather than guesswork (even educated guesswork). The fact that you added the words "clues" and "might be" in the article tells me that we are nowhere near ready to make such a determination to the point where it should be included in the article as you have. 2601:240:E200:3B60:C910:F538:FF9C:5405 (talk) 17:16, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Answer to: User talk:2601:240:E200:3B60:C910:F538:FF9C:5405 Are you clumsy or are you trying to be? If I say "There are clues that you are clumsy" what would that mean to you? I have given reliable sources as they are THE CHARACTER COMICS THEMSELVES, what source have you given? Exactly, none. So you better stop editing articles without any source, because you are so clumsy as to leave your IP out in the open on a public server. JordiWild98 (talk) 18:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Not clues, facts. Don't you know how to read? JordiWild98 (talk) 12:44, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I know how to read  -- including that edit where you explain these are "clues". I also know how to write, how to design a book cover (not always well, but sufficiently), how to overcook pasta, and how to interact with people in ways beyond personal attacks. That last is a handy skill. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, put into practice what you said, you talk too much and act too little. I gave evidence. If you don't agree with the religion of U.S.Agent, present your evidence why it isn't (based on the comics, of course). JordiWild98 (talk) 14:25, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Just as Wikipedia is not the place for your analysis, it is also not the place for mine. I make no particular claim about the character's religion. I realize that you're relatively new to editing Wikipedia, at least under this account. I've placed some links on your Talk page to materials that will help you understand how editing is done around here. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:33, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
