Comics' First Functional Father/Son Relationship in Winter Soldier #4
It seems like no father/son relationship can exist in comics that isn't a freaking mess. Superman's dad kidnapped his grandson and brought him to outer space where he grew up to be a teenager. Batman's alternate-universe father is employing drastic measures to keep Bruce Wayne from being Batman. The Hulk's dad is messed up too. Are there no good dads in the fictional universes of comic books?
Well, how about this guy, the father of RJ, the confused young man taken in by the Winter Soldier after being brainwashed to become a trained killer?
Sure, he's a career criminal who just got out of prison. But at least he seems to truly care…
Look, it's a low bar, okay? Now hopefully he doesn't turn out to be an agent of Hydra…
Winter Soldier #4 hits stores next Wednesday.
