Mister America (comics)
Appearance
Mister America, in comics, is the name of four fictional DC Comics superheroes:
- 1. Tex Thompson, the Golden Age Mister America, first appeared on June 1938 in Action Comics #1.
- 2. Mister America is an otherwise unnamed individual who operated in the city of Vanity, and eventually became a brutal vigilante, changing his codename to "Bloodtype" and subsequently dying of injuries sustained as Aztek's first adversary in the Aztek, The Ultimate Man #1 (August 1996).
- 3. Trey Thompson (an ancestor of his predecessor Tex Thompson) is the prelude to the modern day Mr. America. He first appeared in Justice Society of America (vol. 3) #1 (February 2007) as an FBI special agent who took justice into his own hands after a murderer he captured is set free. Vandal Savage hires the super-thug Catalyst to murder Thompson's entire family, and Savage himself murders Trey Thompson in the following issue.
- 4. Jeffrey Graves is the the modern day Mr. America. Trey's former FBI contact is first seen donning the mask of Mr. America in Justice Society of America (vol. 3) #4 after he is fired due to his connection with Trey. He stumbles into the Justice Society Headquarters at the end of Justice Society of America (vol. 3) #12, seeking help to defeat his mysterious pursuer.
