aliitvodeson:maxximoffed:My grandfather. The black Captain America.Young Avengers #3Isiah Bradley was based on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Three hundred of his fellow soldiers were killed to cover up the experiment that created him. He stole Steve’s spare uniform to attack a concetration camp (and when Steve met him, he told him to keep it). Bradley was tortured by the Nazis, and court martialed on his return after the war. The bastardized serum that gave Bradley his powers eventually gave out, and he suffered extensive brain damage, in homage to Muhammad Ali.Rememeber that Isiah Bradley was Captain America at the same time as Steve Rogers. Remember that Storm and Black Panther invited him to their wedding and half the room was awestruck. Remember that Isiah Bradley’s DNA was taken from him by the US government and used without his permission in attempts to clone a new Captain America. Remember that he inspired Luke Cage and Falcon and generations of black soldiers.Remember Isiah Bradley -- source link
