Jeffrey Solomon "Jeff" Mace, also known as the Patriot and Captain America, is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics universe, created during the 1940s period fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books. As the Patriot, he first appeared in ''The Human Torch'' # 4 (Spring 1941; mis-numbered #3 on cover), published by Marvel's 1940s precursor, Timely Comics. In 1976, Marvel revealed via retroactive continuity that Mace had become the third Captain America some time after his World War II era adventures. ==Publication history== The superhero the Patriot debuted in ''The Human Torch'' # 4 (cover-dated Spring 1941; mis-numbered #3 on cover),〔('The Human Torch'' #4 ) at the Grand Comics Database, with cover blowup (here )〕 with both a two-page text story by writer Ray Gill, with a spot illustration by artist Bill Everett, and a 10-page comics story by writer Gill and artist George Mandel. The character went on to appear in the first of two ''Human Torch'' issues both inadvertently numbered #5, and known to collectors as #5 A simulacrum of the Patriot was temporarily created from the mind of Rick Jones, along with those of the Blazing Skull, the Fin, and the Golden Age Angel and Vision, to aid the superhero team the Avengers during the Kree-Skrull War.〔''The Avengers'' vol. 1, #97 (March 1972)〕 The Patriot first appeared in modern times in a four-part flashback story running through ''The Invaders'' #5–6 (March & May 1976) and ''Marvel Premiere'' #29–30 (April & June 1976), set during World War II which retconned him as a member of a newly created superhero team, the Liberty Legion. That team later appeared alongside Fantastic Four member the Thing in a two-part time travel story, set during World War II, in ''Marvel Two-in-One'' #20 (Oct. 1976) and ''Marvel Two-in-One Annual'' (1976). When Marvel Comics had revived the character Captain America in 1964, the story explained that he had been missing in action and in suspended animation since 1945. This discrepancy with his postwar comic-book appearances was later explained as the result of replacement heroes taking on the mantle. As the third Captain America, Jeffrey Mace would have been behind the mask in ''Captain America Comics'' #59–75 (Nov. 1946 – Feb. 1950) and other comics during that period. Mace succeeded the second Captain America, William Naslund (formerly the Spirit of '76), who was shown in ''What If?'' vol. 1, #4 (Aug. 1977) as having been killed in 1946. Mace appeared briefly in a flashback in ''Captain America'' #215 (Nov. 1977), then as a guest-star in ''Captain America Annual'' #6 (1982) with his death depicted in #285 (Sept. 1983). In a flashback, the Patriot co-starred in a World War II adventure with Captain America in ''Captain America Annual'' #13 (1994) and in a post-war adventure with the All Winners Squad in ''All Winners Squad 70th Anniversary Special'' (2009). A retelling of Jeffrey Mace's origin and time as Captain America is told in the 2010 mini-series ''Captain America: Patriot''. This was collected with the ''All Winners Squad 70th Anniversary Special'' and ''What If?'' #4 in 2011. ''What If?'' #4 was also collected that same year in a ''Captain America Legacy'' volume collecting the debuts of the Captain America replacements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeffrey Mace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
