History CaptainPatriotic / ComicBooks

* The titular hero of the indie comic ''Comicbook/KamenAmerica'' is a USO dancer who after gaining powers adopted the mandatory [[PatrioticFervor red, white, and blue]] uniform for heroes in this category. Her former PR agent states in an interview that he specifically told her not to incorporate "America" in her name to to avoid politicizing herself, which is why she originally went by "Warhen" (itself a play on [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Warbird]]).

** Jennifer Dragon, a.k.a. Smasher, is recruited by the American government after a failed Martian invasion into the ranks of an official superteam named "Special Operations Strikeforce". Eventually, she ascends in their ranks and becomes their leader. Her visual design evokes the red-white-and-blue tricolor motif of similar superheroes, and there is even a stylized white eagle over her chest area.
** Battle Girl, Smasher's daughter, takes on an outfit resembling her mother's, with the red-blue-and-white tricolor, star and stripes motifs, a navy blue skirt with white stars, but showing even more skin.

* Image Comics has Super Patriot, who was in his heyday a direct CaptainErsatz version of Captain America. His kids with the superhero clone names Liberty & Justice also qualify.

* ComicBook/AlphaFlight is pretty much an entire team of Captain Canadas. While Guardian--whether it's James [=MacDonald=] "Mac" Hudson or his wife Heather--is the most outwardly obvious due to their power suit's red maple leaf motif, the entire classic team represents a different aspect of Canadian culture. Mac is from Ontario, Heather is from Alberta, Puck is a hockey reference, Marinna is from the Maritimes, Shaman represents the First Nations, Northstar and Aurora are Quebecois (with Northstar being a former separatist), Snowbird represents the northern territories, and Sasquatch is from British Columbia.
* And then there's Comicbook/BlackPanther, the king and national hero of Wakanda, a fictional super-scientific nation in Africa.

** International-wise, every major nation on Marvel Earth seems to have at least one official CaptainPatriotic. The U.S. has ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. Britain has ComicBook/CaptainBritain. Canada has [[Comicbook/AlphaFlight Guardian.]] Russia has Vanguard. Japan has [[Comicbook/BigHero6 Sunfire.]] France has Adamantine. Germany has Freiheitskämpfer. Ireland has Shamrock. Saudi Arabia has the Arabian Knight (both of them[[note]]though the current Arabian Knight is from Nazareth, a predominantly Muslim city in Israel[[/note]]). Israel has Sabra. Argentina has Defensor. China has the Collective Man and Star. Even make-believe countries have them. Wakanda has the Comicbook/BlackPanther. Symkaria has Silver Sable. And Latveria has... ComicBook/DoctorDoom.

* ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'': Citizen V (as in 'victory') from the Thunderbolts' original incarnation. Intially, the group formed to fill the void left by the "death" of the Avengers during ''Onslaught'', so a team with its leader wearing a star-and-stripes inspired uniform makes sense. [[spoiler:Turns out, it was ''[[InvokedTrope deliberate]]'' on his part, for Citizen V was German villain Baron Zemo, one of Captain America's nemeses, and the Thunderbolts were the Masters of Evil in disguise.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Elementals}}'' has many world governments create their own superheroes such as China's Flying Dragon, after information on the Elementals origins became common knowledge. So superheroes after the Elementals were often either CorporateSponsoredSuperhero who are heavily incentivized or they were deeply CaptainPatriotic, this because becoming superhuman required the person to die and then have their corpses revived by a supernatural entity or force.

* ComicBook/SilverSable is a European example, hailing from the fictional country of [[{{Ruritania}} Symkaria]]. Notably more TrueNeutral, with a dose of MyCountryRightOrWrong for good measure.
