Captain America(Clinton Mcintyre)(1459)

The Third Official Captain America, Clinton Mcintyre is also the first Super Soldier experiment to be declared a National Threat.

## History

### Early Life

The man who would become the Third official Captain America was born Clinton Mcintyre in the year 1928. He was only 13 years old when the first Captain America was created in 1941. During World War II, he idolized Captain America, and was shocked to learn of the original's supposed death in 1945.

While the rest of the nation believed Captain America endured thanks to Steve Trevor taking up the mantle in the late 40s and early 50s, Clinton Mcintyre was not fooled by this deception.

Mcintyre became obsessed with Captain America and studied the heroes history obsessively. As an adult he graduated university in 1950, Summa Cum Laude with a PhD in American history, having written his thesis on Captain America. In early 1951, Mcintyre wished to read about the history of Captain America from the Nazi point of view and flew to Germany to research Nazi documents about his idol. Searching the documents he came across Major Albrecht Kerfoot's diary which contained a Partial copy of the Super-Soldier Serum and a Modified version that claimed to be better within it. Surprised by this revelation, Mcintyre returned to the United States with his find.

Returning to the United States, Clinton presented his findings to the United States just as Steve Trevor had gone missing and declared dead Mcintyre offered the formula to the government to create a new Captain America. The government was interested, deciding they needed a new symbol during the height of the Korean War, but Clinton only agreed to give them the formula on one condition: That he be the next Captain America.

His Plan worked and he officially became the new Captain America, the US Government went even so far to give him his own Sidekick, taking on the name Battlestar just like the original during WWII.

The two for a time fought along side the Justice Society helping the American people until the Disbandment, while the rest of the JSA were harassed and attacked by the Government, Captain America and Battlestar were not as they both worked for The Government and were the ones that helped provide all the information on the JSA members.

Mcintyre Continued as Captain until 1960 when after a few years of the Serum breaking down his mind and driving him insane the US Government attempted to place him in a facility he fought back and it required help from SHIELD. He was injured during his capture and had to be placed him in a Cryo-genetic freezing Chamber.

### Revival(2018)

Clinton was found in a SHIELD warehouse by three agents who were tasked with cataloging the various artifacts within. Unbeknownst to two of the agents, one of them was a spy for HYDRA, who then shot his 'colleagues' and escaped with the crate containing Clinton's body.

Upon discovering that Clinton's body contained a version of the Super Soldier Serum HYDRA set about bringing him back to life. Forgoing any laboratory tests, they pitted him against three Battle Droids, which he defeated quickly and with ease.

Protocide's first mission was to locate and engage The Patriot a SHIELD Agent whom was a former Captain America, named Jeffrey Mace, whom he defeated by stabbing his shield through The Patriot own one and into his chest, thus critically injuring him He was next sent to obtain a chemical agent from a SHIELD convoy, where he fought and almost killed the Original Captain America. He was ordered to forget landing the killing blow and get the compound. He was struck by Captain America from behind and had to escape being captured by SHIELD forces.

SHIELD tracked Protocide to a secret HYDRA bunker which Captain America invaded and again fought Protocide. Protocide managed to get the better of Cap, but upon stabbing his hand to get him to fall into the spinning blades of a helicopter, Cap managed to swing himself back onto the ledge. The Avenger then tossed his shield into the helicopter, slicing the blades free and sending the helicopter into a crash. The resulting explosion caused the base to begin to fall apart, almost sending Cap to his death. Protocide had managed to get a stable hand-hold and grabbed Cap as he fell, though it may just have been the basic human reaction of wanting to catch a falling object. As the base quickly approached its destruction, Protocide threw Cap out of it, leaving the Avenger to believe he had perished.

Protocide was last seen in civilian clothes, hitching a lift to "Anywhere. So long as it's far away"

## Powers and Abilities

**Super-Soldier Serum:** Clinton is a superb athlete, his physique having been enhanced by a recreation of Erskine's Super Soldier formula that Rogers received to bring him to peak human condition.

* ***Superhuman Strength and Durability:*** Captain America possesses superhuman strength, able to lift several times his own body weight. He is capable of lifting about 2 tons with supreme effort.

* ***Superhuman Speed and Reflexes:*** He can run at speeds greater than the finest olympic athlete.

* ***Superhuman Agility and Dexterity:*** balance, flexibility, and bodily coordination are augmented to superhuman levels.

* ***Healing Factor:*** Due to the fact that his super-soldier serum made him superhuman (with the same abilities as Rogers), he can recover from physical harm faster than ordinary humans.

### Abilities

* **Fighting Skills:** Clinton is a capable fighter but prefers to rely on brute force rather than grace avoidance which allows obviously superior skilled fighters such as Barnes to be able to hold their own with him despite the large difference in power and endurance that Clinton has to such skilled combatants.

### Weaknesses

* Clinton possesses all of the weaknesses of a human male (sleep deprivation, fail on lack of air, food etc) though is able to resist them for far longer than average human levels.
* Originally the version of the Super Soldier Serum that Clinton received was either incomplete or inaccurate and adversely affected his mentality. After being revived in the current time Clinton has become more stable and lucid in his thinking than he was originally, though is still a man of his era and world view and shown to be overtly conservative by present day thoughts.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

* **Shield:** Clinton Currently uses a shield patterned on the round one carried by Rogers. However, Clinton's original shield was a Kite shaped and constructed of enhanced titanium steel and hence was not virtually indestructible like his predecessor's though was able to resist higher impacts than regular steel. Clinton's current round shield is made of true adamantium as it was able to withstand the same level of abuse as the indestructible shield.
