Bowen Designs Marvel Union Jack Full Size Statue
Brian Falsworth was imprisoned in Hamburg in the same cell as the German biochemist Eric Schmitt, who had concocted a variant of the Super-Soldier formula that was used to turn Steve Rogers into Captain America. Dying, Schmitt asked Falsworth to keep the sample of the formula he had concealed on his person from falling into Nazi hands. Falsworth took the disguised flask, drank its contents, and was immediately physically enhanced by the formula. Falsworth escaped the prison and became a costumed fighter of Nazis within Germany itself known as the Mighty Destroyer.
In England in 1942, Lord Falsworth and his daughter Jacqueline befriended the Invaders, a team of costumed champions serving the Allied cause much as Freedom's Five had done during World War I. Lord Falsworth again donned the costume of Union Jack in order to help the Invaders battle the returned Baron Blood, and was made an Invader himself. However, in a battle between Union Jack and Baron Blood in a cave beneath the Falsworth estate, the vampire hurled a massive boulder at Union Jack, crushing his legs and leaving him permanently crippled. Union Jack managed to pry the boulder off his legs, and then the huge rock struck Baron Blood, knocking him backwards. The vampire fell onto sharp stalagmites, which impaled his body, killing him.
Weapons:
Union Jack carried two weapons. The first was a steel dagger with a 6-inch blade which was strapped to his left hip. The second was a Webley .455 caliber pistol, which he carried in a tied-down flapped holster on his right hip.
