The true story of Uncle Sam in U. S. History is as believable as the DCU version. In the DCU Sam was a patriot who was helping to supply the newly formed American government. He risked his life to get supplies to the troops, and though he was
just
a man his spirt lived on after his mortal life ended. He returned during the great world wars to help and inspire the troops, and fought along the all-star squadron, and forming his own group the freedom fighters. Though he has met his demise during one of the recent crisis his sprit returned to lead a whole new force of heroes.
the real question we have to discuss this week is that if Uncle sam is a harctare that should take a up a spcae in the dcuc line up this early in the line. I know for my self he is not even on my top 100 figures, but because of some of the events of this year he is a content\der for theline. one reason is his reemergence n the DCU book after the events of the Crisises, his earth earth X is around again, and he has a whole new team of freedom figghters. he is not some gimick that DC has been using he has become a real character in the dcu in past few years.
The other reason is that he is aprefect person to resue the new suit body. he s\would be a perfec character to have a repaint of the new joker or gentleman ghost. he could bowwro parts of any of the 3 suited figures this year, the joker, gentleman c\ghst, ot the quetion depending on hwat look the decied to go with. I would have made a cosutme poll but with the general body a cape or coat would be an easy addtion to give us variants for the character.
the question h\this week is do you want him this early in the line?
