It does make sense. Instead of wasting their good white soldiers, the american government tested out early super soldier serums on african-americans. Isaiah was one of the early successes, although overtime his intelligence diminished to that of a 10 year old's or so. The government later took a semen sample and used a surrogate mother to produce a son, who became Josiah X/Justice (from the Crew). He displays super-soldier traits as well, enhanced physiology--can lift around 850 pounds, doesn't tire or get sick, better agility, reflexes etc. Josiah is over 50, but appears to be in his 20's.
There was a really neat image of Isaiah on the cover of Wizard #131
Not really no. The serum was tested on Bradley first and so he's got basically all of the same attributes as Rogers. Even Bradley's son Josiah inhereted that power. He's a 55 year old man in the body of a 25 year old. It's funny how no one seems to be in Caps league but Captain America(Rogers) and then...even THE first Captain America(Isaiah) isn't in Captain America's (Rogers) league.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Crew as well, Nathaniel. What did you not like about them Capt.? Just curious, we all have our favorite genre's when it comes to this stuff, so is it that you just don't like urban political crime?
Rogers does have better training, though Isaiah isn't a push over in the least. It depends on when you pit the battle, Isaiah meeting Rogers at some random company get together in 1941 (Rogers w/o the traditional) shield, I think Isaiah would put him down. He had not one, but two causes to fight for, as evident in the Double Victory symbol on his shield and the tattoo.
