Well hello!! Long time no etc. etc. 
I’ve fallen off of the radar lately sorry about that. It hasn’t been my style to just drop off of the updating schedule without informing everyone, but something HUGE came up and it’s taken a bit longer than I thought.
But we’ll be back on schedule REAL SOON!!
Until then here’s a sketch that (also) started to take too much time and was left halfway done.
Who is he? Like he said he’s NOT Nick Fury, but like Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury he too likes gadgets…
Seeya soon.
EDIT: I’ve been getting a lot of “flack” over the statement that this character was kicking butt before Nick Fury. I was referring to the fact that this guy was created in 1941. Nick Fury was created in the 60′s. I know all about Fury being in WWII with his Howling Comandos etc. It was a light-hearted comment. A JOKE… 
-Scott-
A thought / question: Since he has a forward grip on the rifle, why is he not using it?
Also there isn’t any clip because it doesn’t shoot bullets.
THat appears to be a flawmethrower. Look at http://www.ww2gyrene.org/weapons_flamethrower.htm
The second pic from teh bottom, captioned “Flamethrower operators move back up the line after refilling their tanks with fuel. Iwo Jima–1945 USMC Photo ”
Now to figure out which character that is…
It looks like a flamethrower tank, but as pointed out below, it’s a jetpack.
Who could it be…?
Its a jetpack. Also why a conventional silencer and a charging handle when it doesnt shoot bullets ?
Yeah, it’s a jetpack.
I could come up with all kinds of techy mumbo-jumbo to explain why the rifle looks like it does, but to be honest, I was looking at the AAC M4 and thought that something based on it might be cool.
I like how you gave Captain Battle an actual jetpack rather than the tiny half-assed thing he had in original comics.
I’m not sure if it counts as a win since you it was you…
Yeah, I wrestled with that jetpack for awhile, but after I sketched it out, it reminded me of the teenage girls at the mall, so I decided to go big and clumsy.
Hmm, Nick Fury was a Sgt during WWII.
Was Captain Battle facing off against the Prussian’s in WWI?
Fury was around in WWII in the Marvel Timeline, but he wasn’t created until around 1963…
Captain battle first appeared in 1941, I think. But he was also in WWI…
Glad to see you’re doing alright! Looking forward to more updates. This has seriously become one of my all-time favorite webcomics.
Never heard of the guy, but he looks cool!
Why haven’t anyone asked WHAT it fires if it’s not bullets? I guess I know the answer already, “Wait and see”, but I still got to ask, right? =)
Looks like a decked out paintball gun, lol
Paintballs!! The badguys would never see that coming!
The ultimate embarrasment, having your ass handed to you by a one-eyed, 90 year old guy awith a paintball gun! =D
“Owwww! Owww! Okay! Owwww! We surrender! Those things hurttttttt!” “And look what the paint is doing to my villain costume! GAWD! This better wash out!”
This needs to be made! If only we knew someone who can write and draw superheroes…
Is that… Capt. Battle’s Dissolvo gun?
Doesn’t shoot bullets: check
Looks. . . unusual: check
The web sez it shoots “a color concentrate, the vibrations of which melt down nerve and bone tissue into a gelatinous mass.” Looks like some good gory fun coming up, perhaps?
Whenever I can get back to work we’ll be making our way to the mandatory final battle. That should come in handy…
It’s not Nick Fury or Captain Battle, it’s Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
Not to add to the nit picking, but actually Nick Fury started as Sargeant Nick Fury, with the Howling Commandos. He was kicking Nazi butt right from the start.
He was added to the Marvel Universe in the 60′s. His WWII background was added later.
Captain Battle was created in -41… so who was first?
