| Origin |
| When
Nathaniel Richards
(Iron
Lad) traveled from the future to enlist the
Avengers to stop his future
self
Kang, he found that the
team had disbanded. Assembling an alternative team of young heroes
that could challenge the time traveling despot, one of his potential
recruits Josiah Bradley (Justice
II) could not be found and his family knew nothing of his whereabouts.
Determined to help the young time traveler and live-up to the
legacy of his grand-father (Captain
America 0), Eli Bradley found a means though the illegal drug M.G.H.
(mutant growth hormone) to give him the power of a super-soldier.
Claiming to have obtained his physical powers via a blood transfusion from
his grand-father, a claim which would eventually come true, Bradley donned a patriotic uniform becoming the
Patriot. |
