Jeffrey Mace debuted in ''Marvel Mystery Comics'' #21 (July 1941). He was a Reporter who decided to become a superhero after seeing Captain America in action. As the Patriot, Mace was one of several superheroes who fought Nazi saboteurs and supervillains during World War II , sometimes alongside sidekick Miss Patriot . The Patriot was revived in '' Marvel Premiere '' #29, as a member of the Retcon Golden Age team known as Liberty Legion , which was assembled to fight the mind-controlled Invaders . After World War II, Mace continued to fight crime on a regular basis, eventually helping the All-Winners Squad to prevent a young John Fitzgerald Kennedy 's assassination in 1946. The skirmish cost the life of the second Captain America (William Naslund, formerly the Spirit Of '76 ), whom Mace replaced as Captain America until he retired in 1949. This story was created to help explain the chronological discrepancies between the original Captain being frozen in ice from 1945 until his modern-era revival, and a Captain America appearing in comic books through 1950. (The later, mid-1950s Captain America was yet another person in the role.) After retiring from heroics, Mace married Betsy Ross, a supporting character from Captain America's early stories who had briefly been the Golden Girl , and died decades later of Cancer , in ''Captain America'' #285. A Simulacrum of the Patriot was temporaily created from the mind of Rick Jones , along with those of the Blazing Skull , the Fin , and the Golden Age Angel and Vision , to aid the superhero team the Avengers during the Kree-Skrull War , in ''The Avengers'' Vol. 1, #97 (Mach 1972). |
