Rebooted Origin
"Captain Nazi was developed to be the perfect specimen to fight for Adolf Hitler and the Nazi cause. He fought heroes such as The Unknown Soldier and The Flag in order to rid the world of America's greatest heroes by Hitler's command. Captain Nazi was ruthless and would kill/maim without guilt or delay. However after the development of a much more powerful soldier, Volkssturm, Joseph wasn't as renowned as he once was by Hitler and the rest of The 3rd Reich. In order to regain his place as Hitler's right-hand man, decided to fight every last Allied superhero and bring back their heads to the Führer on a pike. He gained his chance during the The Berlin Assault when he fought alongside several other Nazi Übermensch against the Allies final assault that will end the war right then and there.

Joseph managed to kill a few of the Allied Heroes with ease. However during his fight against his third opponent, The Flag, both actually killed each other with their final punches.

However after The Berlin Assault, all the Nazi supersoldiers that died were buried in a mass grave. And that was where Joseph stayed for the next 70 years, however because of the science that went into him, his body was rotting in a sedated rate.

In the present day, Neo Nazi & Mad Scientist Jordan Mengle excavated the remains of the Captain, the body somewhat intact except for the flesh on the head, but it was more then enough. Jordan implanted new, more enhanced technology to replace the muscles that were useless from decomposition. To finish Jordan's project, he injected a liquid substance into the base of the skull he dubs "Re-Agent" and this substance revitalized the brain tissue and the central nervous system, bringing back the now undead supersoldier.

However their was a complication, When Joseph woke up, he had Mengle by the throat, thinking he was still in the War. Jordan quickly explained that more then 70 years have past since the Third Reich had lost the war. He also explained that Joseph was brought back in order to create a new Reich, one that will conquer the world with an army of resurrected Übermensch.

Being so devouted to his Führer, Joseph didn't want to be this cretin's slave but he did see the scientist as a useful asset, so Joseph decided to go along with the mad man's plan, until the right opportunity presents itself to take the Führer's throne for himself with an army to finish what Hitler started."

To go with the rest of the Patriot superheroes, here is one of the most famous Nazi supervillains. Now I know what your thinking, "You used Red Skull for this and he's not in the public domain." Well yes and no, yes being that he has a remarkable resemblance to Red Skull, but the No is for their was another red skulled based villain that IS in the public domain, The Scarlet Skull one of the enemies of Lev Gleason Comic's Daredevil.

This character was made using Hero Machine 3.

Interesting PD redesign!

Like you said,yes the character has a remarkable resemblance to The Red Skull(who is NOT in the public domain)but The Scarlet Skull,one of the enemies of Lev Gleason Comic's Daredevil IS in the public domain.So, using The Scarlet Skull as an influence and inspiration for a character or even using The Scarlet Skull,himself,will inevitably garner comparisons to The Red Skull any

way you slice it.That's just

unavoidable(it's like how when I use my version of Shark for my comic for Triumphant Victory,I'm pretty much expecting comparisons to Aquaman and Namor and I know for certain,when I do my comics for my versions of Hercules and Thor,I'll get comparisons to the popular versions of the characters).


So to lurch-jr's point about how using Fox Feature's Skull may have worked better,it's not like you couldn't use Skull(and a new version of Scarlet Skull,too) in the future if you ever decided that you wanted to use him!

I'm going to be using Skull AND The Scarlet Skull because I think they're both great characters that I can do something different with as villains and minor supporting characters.

Perhaps I can have them be part of a skull-themed Super Villain group along with Laughing Skull(who is also in the the PD Super Villain group,The Death Battalion-who I'll also be sure to use).

I'm going to be using a bunch of Nazi and Neo-Nazi characters as Super Villains in my comics.Nazis are pretty much all-purpose bad guys/ultimate villains/go-to antagonists in every medium and in every genre of film,TV show,book,comic,video game,etc that it's to the point that it's become something of a cliche.

But it's a time-tested and time-honored one, I think and cliches are actually still fine depending on how people approach dealing with them and if they embrace them and put an unique spin on them!

Great rebooted origin!
