"You wake up, get out of bed, and what do you do? Do you get angry? Do you get sad? Whatever the two, you decide to make the day of others worse, and then worse, and so forth. Why? Because... It's just routine for you. Now, you know, I also have a routine, and I sometimes wake up angry or sad, but I get that feeling off differently. I jog a bit, even though my legs can't get tired. I help my landlady manage her plants; she loves it. But what I'm trying to get is that... You can do more than just make the other people feel wrong. Even if you only think you do."

Real Name:
John America
Hero Name:
Big Washington
"The Freedom Boy"
Age:
Allegedly 249 (Appears in his 30s)
Backstory:
No one knows where John came from; there's no birth date, no mother, no father, nothing. He just appeared one day in front of the white house naked and swore to protect the President until the end of his days. He seems to perfectly know all the history of the United States, down to the most mundane and minuscule of soldiers or generals. But, apart from that skill, he shows a very laidback and "silly" attitude. Since his appearance, John has become a symbol for (most of) America, going to special events organized by the government. And when the Big 5 formed, he was pitched to be the Number #1 Hero, which he clearly accepted. And since 2005, John has been the unofficial leader of the group and the strongest weapon available for the United States.
Skills:
Master Wrestling Moves
Expert Boxing Moves
Expert MMA Moves
Master Gunmanship
Master Marksmanship
Adept Grill Mastery
Photographic Memory
Ability:
John is capable of growing stronger and faster the more patriotic he feels; this ability also enhances his fighting skills, giving them “visible” effects and making his named attacks do more damage than the unnamed ones. The Patriot uses a Patriotic Meter that goes from 0% to 100%
The Patriot also has different modes of use to enhance specific actions:
Barrage: Enhances reaction and combat speed. Allows the release of rapid attacks, although it lowers the defense and the overall effectiveness of the attack. But it can compensate for quantity over quality. It costs 5% to use for 1 minute.
Stone-Cold: Enhances durability. Allows for physical trauma up to 10 times the average. It lowers the attack potency and speed a lot, but it’s useful as a parrying ability. It costs 10% to use it for 1 minute.
Wrathful Patriot: Enhances attack and stamina. Gives a great growth in Strength and energy, allowing longer and more brutal attacks. The growth in Strength goes from 2-times to 12-times, although it’s the most tiring one, and it can lead to a complete draining of power. It costs 25% to use it for 1 minute.

All of it works for him, and after a ritual that awakened him, he has been unleashing chaos all over the United States and the border of Mexico.
