Brian Falsworth (Earth-1010)

Brian Falsworth is the son of the WWII legend Union Jack, and a member of the Invaders. Born in 1991, Brian and his friend and lover Roger Aubrey tried to take on the superhero mantle, the same way that his now old father had done during the war, in order to help the United States in case a nuclear war with the USSR actually happened. After finding out that American scientists were trying to synthesize the Super-Soldier Serum created by Dr. Abraham Erskine and used in Captain America, the young men appointed themselves as test subjects. Once the scientists found out that Brian's father had been the Union Jack during the War, they immediately accepted both him and Roger into the program, exposing them to an imperfect variant of the Serum. This enhanced both men's physical attributes and even though the Cold War was already over, they took on superhero names: Brian decided to call himself Union Jack, after his father's codename, and Roger went by Destroyer. In order to keep their relationship secret now that they were in the public eye, they decided to split in good terms. However, the two of them have eventual sexual encounters.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Falsworth possessed various superhuman attributes as a result of ingesting a derivative of the Super-Soldier Serum that was used on Steve Rogers.

Superhuman Strength: The Super-Soldier Serum derivative augmented Falsworth's musculature, granting him a slight degree of superhuman strength. At his peak, Falsworth possessed sufficient strength to lift approximately 1,000 lbs.

Peak Human Speed: The Super-Soldier Serum derivative also increased Falsworth's running speed to the peak of human efficiency. Falsworth could sprint at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.

Superhuman Stamina: Falsworth's augmented and superior musculature produced less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of a normal human. At his peak, he could exert himself at peak capacity for up to three hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood began to impair him.

Superhuman Durability: Falsworth's bodily tissues were augmented by the Super-Soldier Serum derivative to the point that they were tougher and more resistant to some kinds of injury than the bodily tissues of an ordinary human. While far from invulnerable, Falsworth could withstand powerful impact forces. He could withstand impacts with little to no injury to himself, such as being struck by a superhumanly strong opponent or falling from several stories, that would severely injure or kill a normal human.

Superhuman Agility: The Super-Soldier Serum derivative augmented Falsworth's natural agility, balance and bodily coordination to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Falsworth's agility was often likened with that of a tiger.

Superhuman Reflexes: Falsworth's reflexes were similarly enhanced and were superior to those of the finest human athlete.
