Billy D.HOST
And we get a great torch cap and subbie, and then not only them— the people from england oh and bucky in the background as well and toro and then we get uh you know like i said a spitfire who i absolutely love her costume and uh you know we get union jack there as well it's fantastic and we're going to find out the old guy in the wheelchair who was lamenting nobody being able to stop the slasher uh that is uh lord fallsworth aka the original union jack as well but we also get to see some of the The kooky villains, and this is not a jab at Roy Thomas, but some of these villains, and again, he was doing a retroactive comic that was written in the 70s but was portraying stuff from World War II era.
Billy D.HOST
So I can kind of give some leeway for kooky people, but Master Man is one of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Nazi guys, big hulking guy.
Billy D.HOST
The blue bullet, and it just looks like a guy in a bullet costume flying through

the air.
Scott KolinsGUEST
One was, uh, right across the hall from our office, uh, in the Rimiter Raider office, was Terry Kavanagh, who had, um, Excalibur, Marvel Comics Presents, um, and a slew of other, uh, books that he was working on.
Scott KolinsGUEST
Um, one of my like, I don't know, my third, fourth, fifth job for Marvel at that time was I had done a pin-up just for fun, um, but again, to show off what I could do, whatever, that had Captain America fighting Master Man, if you, anybody remembers him, the old, uh, World War II villain.
Scott KolinsGUEST
He's kind of like an anti-Captain America, uh, super soldier type.
Scott KolinsGUEST
They were- they're fighting, physically fighting on top of a missile that's cruising down, and it's nighttime, and you can see a sprawling city below that they're gonna crash into or whatever.
Scott KolinsGUEST
Um, I'd shown that around, and as it turned out, when I showed it to Terry, he goes, "Oh, perfect.
Scott KolinsGUEST
I need a Master Man story.
Scott KolinsGUEST
We're actually, we want to do a new Master Man or go on to a next thing.
Scott KolinsGUEST
I want you to do a story where, uh, it's Master Man dying, the old character from World War II.
Bob LuciusHOST
And the old Bucky, who never became Bucky, Fred Davis, who was a student at the Lee School, in order to rescue Arnie from Arnim Zola's Camp of Horrors, a penitentiary on Riker's Island.
Bob LuciusHOST
that, by the way, is supervised by Master Man and his clone horde.
Bob LuciusHOST
So, you know, the idea was to bring some of these characters that we know that have been involved in the Cap mythos, but intersect their lives in a way that reflects the fact that they've never actually became part of that mythos, but were still able to step up and be heroes.
Rick VerbanasHOST
And isn't that what it's all about? Steve Rogers inspiring, right?
Nick PoffenbargerHOST
Bucky infiltrates the facility quietly and effectively, but Karpov's men go in guns blazing, causing more and more calamity.
Nick PoffenbargerHOST
Cap orders the men to protect the civilians while the invaders take on Master Man.
Max RavenscrawHOST
That's a good deep cut.
Max RavenscrawHOST
Master Man.
