Comic Book Task 4: Union Jack
Union Jack is the name of a fictional superhero appearing in
the Marvel Universe comic books published by Marvel Comics
and Marvel UK. Created by Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins, the
first Union Jack first appeared in Invaders #7 (July 1976).
Union Jack was a superhero from the WWII era and was supposed to the British equivalent
of Captain America, they even went on missions together. Unfortunately Union Jack
never really took off and has failed to reach the same level of success as other
Marvel characters.
With the upcoming Avengers movie being filmed partly in the UK, Marvel are looking
to introduce a British Superhero. Imagine you are working for Marvel and you have
been tasked to redesign and revive Union Jack ready for an appearance in the next
Avengers Movie.
Marvel have given you free reign and have given you the option of changing the characters
gender. So go ahead, its up to you. Will it be Union Jack, or Union Jane?
