Americop

Bursting onto the scene in 1994 courtesy of the legendary Mark Gruenwald and artist Dave Hoover, Americop is a Marvel Copper/Modern Age creation who made his mark in the pages of Captain America — about as high-profile a debut address as a character can have. With Steve Rogers, Rachel Leighton, and Diamondback among the figures sharing his early adventures, he was thrown immediately into Marvel's premier patriotic corner of the universe. His profile endures beyond those initial appearances, earning a place in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z — the kind of canonization that tells a collector this is a character worth tracking down. Rare enough to feel like a discovery, connected enough to matter, Americop is a compact piece of mid-'90s Marvel history for anyone who loves digging into the deeper roster.
