Predecessor's History: Seacord fought Nazi invaders in the 40's along with members of the Justice Society as well as the occasional supervillain. His nephew Michael eventually found the rocketpack, coated it with an unbreakable alloy, and used it himself in the 70's and 80's as more of a rights activist superhero for the people. 

BRIEF Bio:

John Korben was a 90's kid from Ohio and knew about his father's heroic exploits in the 70's and 80's as the second Rocketeer. It wasn't until graduating high school in '07 that John learned his great uncle was also called the Rocketeer back during WWII and helped the Allied forces. Originally just toying around with the rocketpack and flying it around on weekends, the closer the time of invasion came the harder John trained. Playing sports in high school had kept him in relatively good shape, and he was currently enrolled in community college after taking a few years off from the books choosing to stay closer to home after his father had become ill. However John had taken to shooting guns at some point and became a crack shot even when flying at near top speeds in the rocketpack. 

The invasion of D.C. came seemingly from nowhere. Within minutes the Axis army of Master Man teleported into the region, while other Nazi superhumans deactivated the nation's nuclear weapons. The armies marched on DC for days killing all those who would stand against them, and Master Man himself executed the President on live television ripping the woman in half. 

The military and National Guard have tried for weeks to make a way back into the capital and gain ground but their efforts have all amounted to nothing. If the human armies of the Axis/Nazi superhumans falter one of the superhuman generals steps in. 

John knew where he was needed and had an ex girlfriend on the other side of Virginia who could give him safe passage and a place to stay. Using more lightweight armor and a new helmet of his own design, John flew into action as the newest ROCKETEER. 

Additional Notes: Gave a few details about the day Master Man and his Nazi/Axis forces teleported into the nation's capital.
