Jack Flag

History

Origin

Jack and his brother Drake were a part of Captain America's computer hotline, which inspired them to create a local patrol group. Drake was attacked by a couple of criminals and, in the aftermath, was left a paraplegic. After the attack, a group called the Serpent Society infiltrated his hometown. Jack attempted to call the police about what was going on, but the Serpent Society had bribed them to keep quiet. Jack was upset and frustrated about the whole thing and so began training in martial arts and weight lifting so that he could take on the Serpent Society himself. He created a disguise and became known as Jack Flag.

Jack tried to infiltrate the Serpent's Society by getting on King Cobra's good side, but King Cobra did not fully trust him. To see if Jack Flag's intentions were true, King Cobra sent Jack on a mission to steal a painting from Mr. Hyde. A fight ensued between Mr. Hyde and Jack with the end result being that Jack absorbed Mr. Hyde's powers, granting him super strength. With his new powers, Jack defeated Mr. Hyde and took the painting. Before giving the stolen painting to the Serpent Society, he contacted Captain America and informed them that the Serpent Society was in Sandhaven, Arizona. Captain America and Free Spirit arrived and aided Jack Flag in defeating the Serpent Society.

Superhuman Registration Act

Now wheelchair bound, Jack was sent to the 42 prison in the Negative Zone. During his stay, the prison was somehow inexplicably discovered by Blastaar and attacked. Jack was abandoned along with the rest of the prisoners as the warden and guards bugged out back to Earth. He led his fellow prisoners in defending the prison from Blastaar's hordes until Star-Lord of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had been exiled to the Negative Zone by the Kree, showed up. Jack was able to get him access to a telepath so he could get a signal to his team for help.They escape back to Knowwhere and the medical personal fixed his injured back. Peter tells him that they can teleport him anywhere, but he asks if he can stay because back on Earth he would be considered a fugitive. He is later seen in a Guardians uniform but it still resembles his costume exept for a new mask.
