[B]Back Story:[/B]

Uncle Sam is unsure of when he came into existence or his true name, but what he does know is that he was a spirit who roamed the lands that would become America. He mainly kept to himself but would occasionally help out the Aboriginal Tribes with matters of guidance or fortune. He grew to like the humans, even the white man when they came to his land. He helped out the early European settlers. His trust was broken when a British occultist captured him with a ritual and sealed him in an arcane tome. He remained there until the book was recovered by American Revolutionary forces. They brought the book to the men who would become the Founding Fathers. A more mystically inclined one discovered the spirit and offered him a deal. They would release him from the tome, but he would be bonded to their idea of America, as America grew in power so would he. The spirit agreed and was reborn as the Minute-Man, hero of the revolution.

Needless to say the revolutionaries won and the nation of America was founded. The Minute-Man remained in the shadows, defending America from all threats. Eventually he learnt the spell of rebirth and used it to become Brother Jonathon. He continued his defence of America becoming fully enraptured in America’s ideals, ideals that were put to the test when America split in two. When the Civil War broke out the spirit literally broke in two. He became Billy Yank and Johnny Reb. They both became super weapons for their respective armies. Their epic battles rekindled the legend of the spirit of America. Eventually the war ended and the spirit became whole again. He hid from the world while contemplating the nature of America. But he reemerged in 1870 where he took up the identity of Uncle Sam.

He tried to stay out of the spotlight, secretly helping the US in conflicts such as the first World War. But after the attack on Pearl Harbour, President Roosevelt asked Uncle Sam to personally lead a team of wonders called the Freedom Fighters, which he agreed to. After that all the news reels were full of this team of American heroes and their leader Uncle Sam, literally the embodiment of America. The Freedom Fighters stayed together until the nuking of Japan, ending the war. Many members of the team became disillusioned and left leading to President Truman disbanding the team. Uncle Sam continued to work for the US government, participating in future conflicts such as the Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf Wars.

That all changed with the 9/11 attacks. Uncle Sam was down south when it happened, fighting drug cartels. Immediately America changed, people began to lose their liberties. Still Uncle Sam believed in America and continued to support it. So it came as a shock when the UN dissolved America. Uncle Sam found himself now without a purpose and losing power the longer the US didn’t exist. But he wasn’t ready to give up on America. He started a blog under the name Samuel Wilson, which became popular among those anti-World Government. Eventually he joined the group Civilians for the Reestablishment of America, or C.R.A. They were making ground when the Apokoliptan invasion happened. This time Uncle Sam was actually in the right place for this crisis. He was protesting in New York when the city was attacked. Uncle Sam rose to the occasion and was able to take out several assault ships. He was caught on film and became viral very fast, most notable a video of him crashing a ship into Time’s Square. After the invasion support for the World Government rose drastically. In response Uncle Sam has used his newfound celebrity to get his views heard.

[B]Sample Post:[/B]

Uncle Sam jumped out of the bush and into the Japanese dugout. They immediately noticed him and began to fire on him. Sam just grimaced as the bullets ricocheted off him. He grabbed the nearest soldier and tossed him at his nearest companion, knocking them both to the ground with the noise of breaking bones. Sam then turned to two others, jabbing them both in the face with a fist each. The two were knocked back a meter with blood exploding out of their noses. Sam then turned to the last soldier only for him to drop his gun and flee. Sam smiled, he had put the fear of God into these darn Japs. They realized that there was nothing they could do to hurt the spirit.

Or maybe they could, as was evident when a bazooka whizzed across the clearing and into Uncle Sam’s chest, exploding and send him back into the tree line. Sam cursed as he slowly got up, but then berated himself for using foul language. Another round was fired but this time Sam was ready for it. He leaped out of the way, before darting for the brush where the round came from. As he neared the enemy soldier another round was fired, dead on at Sam. But the shot just whizzed over his head as Uncle Sam had shrunk himself to half a foot tall. In doing so he had caused the shooter to lose track of Sam. He whipped around trying to find him only to get an uppercut to the face from a rapidly growing Sam. The soldier was launched several feet into the air before landing on the ground unconscious.

Uncle Sam returned to his regular height only to notice he had lost his hat at some point. Retracing his steps, Sam found it nestled under a tree. As he was about to pick it up someone beat him to it. A blue and white blur sped by and snatched the hat before encircling Sam, who got a stern look on his face.

[color=0072bc]“By the Stars and Stripes Quicksilver, give me back my hat before I take it back,”[/color] stated Uncle Sam.

[color=7bcdc8]“You didn’t say please, Old Man,”[/color] replied the speedster as he stopped moving.

[color=0072bc]“Please Max, you are trying my patience.”[/color]

Quicksilver just laughed as he tossed the hat back to Sam. He turned to leave only for the ground in front of him to explode in a hail of gunfire. Max made to flee, only to take two rounds in the leg. He immediately began to collapse to the ground in pain. But before he hit the ground he was grabbed by Uncle Sam who moved the two of them into the tree line. Now with a little more cover Sam looked upward and saw what was firing on them. A pair of Japanese fighter planes, a new model it looked like.

Uncle Sam turned to Quicksilver and said, [color=0072bc]“Stay put Max, I’ve got to clip some birds’ wings.”[/color]

Once again Sam leaped into the clearing, attracting the attention of the fighters. But before they could get into firing range one of them was crumpled into a ball in the hands of a rapidly growing Uncle Sam. The remaining plane immediately veered away. Sam stalked after it, smashing trees as he moved. He followed the plane to a rocky outcropping. Beyond that was the ocean where Sam would not be able to follow. It looked like the fighter was going to get away until Uncle Sam picked up a boulder and chucked it. The rock soared through the air and met its target, totally destroying the fighter’s left wing. From there the plane spun out of control before going nose first into the water. After confirming that the threat was eliminated Uncle Sam made his way back to his injured comrade. Sam changed to a size just big enough to carry Quicksilver with his hand before scooping him up.

[color=0072bc]“You’ve got to take this more seriously Max, this is war after all,”[/color] said Uncle Sam softly.

Max smiled, groaned, then replied, [color=7bcdc8]“Well I can always count on you, Old Man.”[/color]
