When Captain America throws his mighty shield all those who oppose his shield must yield. While this usually applies to people up to no good, the legacy of the shield has either caused some people to yield or had others yielded against their will. In the second episode of Falcon & the Winter Soldier, the former Steve Rogers besties were introduced to part of the shameful history of Project Rebirth and the pursuit of the Super Soldier serum. There have been various attempts to recreate the success of Steve Rogers including Bucky Barnes himself, but little was known about the other success for the program that came about from a series of unethical experiments that echo the heartbreaking Tuskegee Study. Isaiah Bradley was the product of the first attempt to recreate Captain America after a series of involuntary tests on black soldiers during World War II. While Captain America became a symbol and a beacon of hope for a country both during war and when he returned to become an Avenger, Bradley’s story was hidden from public view. Even worse, Bradley ended up being imprisoned by the government he served, enduring even more experimentation. While the appearance of Bradley sheds light on Project Rebirth’s dark past, it also shines a light on the future of the MCU where Bradley’s grandson, Josiah X becomes Patriot, the leader of the Young Avengers and heir to the mantle of Captain America. Let’s look at how Bradley fits into the MCU and what his comic origins can tell us about the future.
