Hey, and welcome to my blog!
I'm John Walker, former Captain America and current U.S. Agent, working with the Thunderbolts*.
Decorated veteran, high school football star... divorced dad. You get it.
I've made plenty of mistakes. But I plan on doing everything I can to make up for them. Maybe this Thunderbolts* thing is a new start.
Plus, this team definitely needs me on it.
((The following deviates from the canon. Reminder, if you don't like my version of John, you don't have to interact!))
I was in the closet a long time. I was in the military during "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", and at the time, I thought that keeping everything to myself was the best thing to do. I never planned on coming out.
Lately, @official-redguardian has been convincing me to be more open about who I am. And I'm trying. So, yeah, I'm a transgender man. I started my transition when I was really young, so I've been lucky enough to be stealth for most of my life.
Lemar was the only one who knew, and he was a great friend and kept my secret. Now that I'm definitely no longer in the running to be Cap... might as well tell people, I guess. Alexei said it matters for there to be "representation".
