Lucas Cage (Earth-1969)

Carl Lucas Cage was wrongly convicted and unjustly imprisoned in Seagate Prison off the coast of Georgia. Later, research scientist Dr. Chester Phillips, and his daughter Peggy recruit Lucas as a volunteer for their SPARTAN Program, effort to produce super soldiers through a series of mental, physical, mechanical and biological augmentations to aid the United States government's imminent efforts in World War II. He does so and gains bulletproof skin and superhuman strength. He is armed with a nearly indestructible shield made from Vibranium. He began to fight for the common man, becoming the leader of the Global Guardians as Captain America. Near the end of the war, he was trapped in ice by the Green Skull but he survived in suspended animation until he was revived in the present day, becoming a member of the Squadron Supreme.
