It’s a lesser-known fact that Captain America, the best known patriotic hero in comics history, is actually modeled after an earlier character called The Shield, to the point where his trademark circular shield had to be changed after the first appearance, as it resembled The Shield’s costume too much. Cap is hardly the only hero to have such pride in his home, as a literal legion of Captains from the 40s will attest, as well as America Chavez, Captain Britain and the Super Sentai Battle Fever J team can attest, leading to today’s fervent query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) reminds Faithful Spoilerites that “patriotic” wouldn’t necessarily mean “United States”, so characters like Guardian or La Borinqueña could count, asking: Which character is the best patriotic hero WHO IS NOT CAPTAIN AMERICA?

The favorite of my collection is Jack Staff. He’s Britain’s Greatest Hero, don’t you know.
Well-played.
Unconventional take, but would Captain Picard count in this question?
Hmmm… He might, if you show your work. :D
