Supporting cast in Jack Staff

Jack Staff is a comic book by the writer/artist Paul Grist, currently published by Image Comics. Its large supporting cast are based upon other British comic characters and archetypes, and its main character is the eponymous Jack Staff.

A slow-boiling plot line hints at a coming battle between two opposing groups, the Green and the Red, with the first hints occurring in #6 (Vol.1). The Green was revealed to exist in Jack Staff: Soldiers (#1-5 Vol.2) and the Red was named in #12 (Vol.2). The apocalypse was first shown in Jack Staff Special #1, the final adversary in Weird World #1, and the prophesised champion revealed in #4.

Loosely based on Marvel Comic's Invaders, the Freedom Fighters were a quartet of superhumans who fought for the Allies during World War II. Jack Staff was a member and default leader, though their team dynamic seems more equal. Their full story is unknown, but in 1942 they were decimated by the villain Brain Head (#6-9 Vol.2). When asked what happened to Tommy Twister and Blazing Glory after that battle, Paul Grist said "Nothing good I'm afraid". [1]

A plucky teenager, he had an unexplained accident that turned him into a sentient wind current. He was forced to, literally, "pull himself together" and uses a containment suit to stay alive. Following the 1942 battle against Brain Head, his form was split up into four containers and it is unknown if he was ever put back together.

In 1919, she was found as a baby in the heart of a volcano. Adopted and raised by explorer Sommerset Stone, Gentlemen Adventurer, she has the mutant ability to burst into flame and secretes an oil that protects her from burns. She is loosely based on the original Human Torch.

It is unknown what happened to her, though her father remained alive into the 21st Century before his death.

"America's Fighting Footsoldier", the superhuman Nathan Hart served in the Freedom Fighters before America joined the war. While pleasant and heroic on the surface, deep down he believed the others were looking down at him. In 1940, he was transformed into a vampire and allowed his bitterness & the growing darkness within him to eventually consume him, though he managed to keep this a secret from the other Fighters. His transformation was known to the government who covered it up, replacing his Star-Spangled Kid sidekicks every time he ate one.
