Hero Datafile: David Colton, 21st Century Captain America

David Colton grew up idolizing Captain America, inspired by Steve Rogers’ courage and sacrifice in the wake of modern tragedy. Chosen for an experimental super-soldier program and later transformed by the mysterious Origin Box, he returned from death with powers far beyond those of an ordinary enhanced human. Now carrying the weight of a legendary mantle, David struggles to balance his duties as a soldier, a hero, and a symbol for a new generation.
