## Biography

### German Science

#### Creating der Ubermensch

Captain 917 was created in a laboratory facility on Earth-3. He was genetically made to be a perfect super weapon of war. There were several other test subjects made similar to Captain 917, but each test subject inherited a specific power of the various earthly elements, including a fire soldier, water soldier, anti-matter soldier, a nuclear soldier, and with Captain 917 being the wind soldier, which shows through his white hair. However each inherited power killed its host, except for 917, leaving him to be the only survivor of the test subjects. Flag later shut the operation down because of hazardous dangers.

#### Alleyway Battle

In early April 2019, after Flag traveled to Earth-1, Captain 917 quickly became Flag's right hand man and primary protector. Flag has mentioned that 917's tongue was removed.

#### Kidnappings

In the late summer of 2019, Captain 917 was ordered by Flag to kidnap Lincoln and Ben for questioning. 917 was easily able to knock Lincoln unconscious but Ben was more difficult to capture. Ben activated his suit which engulfed his body in armor, allowing him to become Sentinel, and the two engaged in a long battle while on the beach at night. Sentinel was not only fighting off 917 but was also given the task to protect his unconscious teammate. During their conflict, a fire erupted within some nearby bushes, which threatened to harm Lincoln, 917 momentarily stopped fighting to allow Sentinel to move his teammate to a safer location, then resuming the fight, eventually winning in the end.

After successfully capturing them both, Captain 917 placed Sentinel and Lincoln in separate cages next to each other. While the two teenage boys were unconscious, 917 applied first aid to them if needed, including putting a gauze in Sentinel's mouth to clot the bleeding gums. He also prepared them both a bowl of soup for proper nutrition.

After an hour of watching over the two boys in the cages, the rest of the Rebels stormed the hideout location, forcing 917 into another combat, however he lost the battle against the entire Rebel team. The Rebels attempted to interrogate 917 with brutal methods but were proven to be unsuccessful, Almanac later threw Captain 917 in a jail cell, ending his story with Flag's command, which crumbled to the ground the following months.

#### A New World

In the fall of 2020, Captain 917 was eventually released from prison. He was taken in by his former commander, Flag, only to find out that the entire operation he once fought for had failed a year ago, but had a bitter sweet feeling since his former commander and his son live a better life.

The Captain collaborated with Brock Denisovich to hold Lincoln Grace captive, although they were stopped by Almanac, Infinite Mythos and Tiresias before they were arrested by Officer Einfrieren.

## Personality

—917
917 is a vindictive and ruthless Captain. Along with all the other super soldiers, Captain 917 is believed to hardly feel any emotions, he has no known hobbies, no known interests or dislikes, and his mind was biologically built to only comprehend orders and information needed to carry out orders. Despite this, Captain 917 is very well mannered, even in combat, as his enemies are shown respect and are held to a high standard.

However, 917 has shown kindness to others on numerous occasions, such as when he alerted Sentinel of an encroaching fire that threatened to harm an unconscious Banner, despite the fact that he and Sentinel were in the midst of combat.

## Physical Appearance

Weiss has ear-length white hair and is of a slim build. He wears a black Schutzstaffel uniform with Flag's red arm band as his formal attire. During battles, he may sometimes remove his black coat and continue fighting shirtless for greater speed and advantage.

After Flag's command was defeated in 2019 by the Arcadian Rebels, Captain 917 now wears basic clothing, usually hand-downs or thrift store polos or jeans. All of his clothes are given to him by his current caretaker, Hank Keller, due to his inability to take care of himself.
