CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA

Has-been Hero
 

Throughout history, most countries have experimented with enhanced soldiers and Australia was no different.
During the crisis in Vietnam, the AUS government secretly deployed a unit of enhanced soldiers. Among them, one 21 year old Brian Baxter. Though they completed their intended goal, the mission was profoundly unsuccessful: Brian was the only survivor.

​

In an attempt to avoid embarrassment, the Aus military discharged Brian, under a non-disclosure agreement.
After years of therapy and alcohol abuse, he eventually cultivated the persona of Australia's 1st superhero.
His action films were hugely popular but people didn't realise (#auspelling) his super-strength and healing were real, thinking him just another roided-up action hero.
Alas, it wasn't to last. Alcohol, fights, fast cars and women drained him of his money and his status.

​

Now he's decided to pass the torch to the H.I.T. with the attitude: "Better a has-been than a never-was".
