![]() ![]() In the comics, the Power Broker is able to supply people with super-serums (and other more nefarious substances) – so there’s a good chance that’s where the Flag-Smashers got their super-strength from in the first place. Stay on the lookout for the mysterious ‘Power Broker’ who was mentioned briefly in this episode, and who seems to be the murderous person seeking vengeance on Karli after she jacked those medical supplies. If the first episode of The Falcon And The Winter Soldier suggested that the Flag-Smashers will be Sam and Bucky’s antagonists, there’s a good chance they’re not really the villains of the piece. That’s the Big Question covered, but there was plenty elsewhere in the episode to discuss – with new allies introduced, and teases of a bigger baddie in the shadows. And since WandaVision introduced Wiccan and Speed, the Hawkeye series is about to bring in Kate Bishop, and America Chavez (aka Miss America) is about to be introduced in Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, the smart bet would be that we’ll see a screen team-up of the Young Avengers in the not-too-distant future. Keep a watchful eye, too, on Isaiah’s grandson Eli, who’s also present in that scene – in the comics, he becomes Patriot, a member of the Young Avengers. Either way, we want a flashback where we see Isaiah tearing off Bucky’s metal arm in his heroic prime in 1951. Stay tuned to see if Isaiah reappears later in the series, and if more of that (very dark, and inspired by true events) comics backstory becomes official MCU canon. The tests leave most of the subjects mutated or dead, and Bradley is the only survivor. There, it’s established that Bradley was one of many unwilling African-American test subjects who were experimented on in an attempt to recreate Steve’s super-soldier serum. In the show, that’s about all we’ve learned so far in terms of the MCU’s Isaiah Bradley – but the character originates in the 2003 comic book run Truth: Red, White & Black. But unlike Steve, Bradley wasn’t a poster-boy for the USA – and instead of being celebrated, he was jailed for 30 years and poked and prodded by scientists. If the duo’s meeting with Isaiah is short (and not exactly sweet), we do get a hint of what happened – he was beefed up by the military and deployed by the government for combat missions, becoming “one of the ones that HYDRA feared the most”. For Barnes it’s a reunion of sorts, having fought the man back in 1951 as the Winter Soldier in Goyang, Korea, but for Sam it’s a first introduction – and a moment in which he realises that Steve Rogers wasn’t the only one to receive the super-soldier serum back in the day. The Big Question: Who is Isaiah Bradley?Īfter having their arses handed back to them by Karli Morgenthau and her Flag-Smashing pals, Bucky and Sam head to Baltimore to see a mysterious former acquaintance of Bucky’s: Isaiah Bradley. It was an instalment that set our heroes on the trail of the super-strong Flag-Smashers, clashed them against the initially nervous but increasingly smug Walker, and taught Sam some covered-up history about the super-soldier serum – which brings us neatly to this week’s Big Question. ![]() If Jurassic Park’s Ian Malcolm was watching, he might have asked: “Now eventually you do plan to have The Falcon and The Winter Soldier together in your… in your Falcon And The Winter Soldier show, right?”Įnter Episode 2, aka ‘The Star-Spangled Man’ – which not only united Sam and Bucky at last, but also followed up on that massive cliffhanger about the MCU’s new (if likely short-lived) Captain America, John Walker.
