## Biography

### Early Life

Mac was born in Scotland to an average family, and was a couple years younger than his sister. His life was pretty much normal, went to high school, got his highers, went to uni. At the end of his 3rd year at university Mac made the decision to finish his last year in New York. So just after his 21st birthday, he packed a bag and got on the first flight to New York.

On his way to his new flat, Mac found himself in the middle of a battle in which Captain America had been badly injured and was dying just in front of Mac. He ran over to see if he could help, but unfortunately he couldn’t and using his last words, Cap passed the shield onto him.

With Cap now dead and Mac now the owner of the shield he did the only thing he could and ran to his new flat trying to process what had happened. Well that was a mistake and S.H.I.E.L.D raided his apartment in an attempt to recover the shield only to find out Cap had given it to Mac willingly. So they did the next logical thing, made Mac the new Captain America.

Even with S.H.I.E.L.D helping Mac, there was still a lot of resistance from the public about how it should've been an american taking up the Captain America title and not an immigrant. Despite this Mac still tried to do his best as Captain America as he could in honour of the late Steve Rogers' memory.
