If you dont know the joke this whole thing stems from, check out, The REAL Spider-Verse of Madness on TikTok(or YouTube, its there too).
On Earth-1827, World War 2 went on like normal. Steve Rogers didnt get to fight on the frontlines, but was one of the greatest military minds the United States has ever seen. And Bucky Barnes was his right hand man.
Fast forward to the 1964, the Cold War, tensions are high between the US & the Soviet Union. Project Gladiator is commenced in a joint operation between the US & Germany(they were right in the middle of the 2 superpowers at the time), to have super humans in place so nukes would be a very last resort.
On the US' side, Steve, Bucky & others chose "The Tommygun" Thomas Acres. Same morals as Steve, but with Bucky's viciousness. He stood out because in a mission during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, he stopped things from getting heated between his platoon & a Russian one. Unfortunately, his former superior had him thrown in the hole for that, despite the lives saved.
On Germany's side, Jaegar Asher Erlösung, was chosen. The middle name stands out because he's part Jewish. His father was German, his mother was Jewish. His father served during late WW2, but was one that was a part of Operation Valkyrie, to kill a certain you-know-who, because prior events during the war, he was never with that. In fact, he helped his wife & a few other Jews flee Germany. That real operation unfortunately failed, Jaegar's father was executed.
After WW2, no one's trusting Germany. Jaegar knows the atrocities will never go away, but intends to help his country get a better image, a long road of redemption. His morals are like Steve's as well, difference is he wont kill unless its absolutely necessary, because he doesn't want anyone to think he's just as bad as the German soldiers & higher-ups in WW2 that committed war crimes.
Project Gladiator was a success, The Summer Marine & Lieutenant Germany were born. For 3 years, the two succeeded mission after mission. With the first one being a mission that was off the books, getting all US troops out of Vietnam. Notes on the serum were intentionally destroyed, so Russia or anyone else couldnt replicate it exactly(didn't stop Russia from trying, they messed with gamma radiation later on).
The two got along very well, mainly because the stuff they had to put up with were similar. Jaegar had to earn trust from EVERYONE & keep that positive image for himself & all of Germany. Thomas, although he was handpicked by Steve & Bucky, he was a black soldier in the 60s. So, alot of white soldiers were jealous of him. He had to keep a positive image & not beat the absolute shit outta racist soldiers, for himself & all black people.
The two got the Adamantium shields(yes, we're switching Vibranium & Adamantium), from research lab of Z.M.E.I in Africa, that they stormed alongside soldiers they resuced in Vietnam. Z.M.E.I stole that from Dorado. And the two did bump into the 5th White Puma, D'Aapo, and let the two keep the shields because they earned his respect.
In 1967, the two were deployed to stop Z.M.E.I from succeeding at their plan of world domination. They had different goals compared to the Soviets & didnt give af about what they were doing. They had one of the Infinity Stones & tried using it as a power source for mechs, that were basically man-driven Sentinels. Thomas & Jaegar stopped most of the mechs from launching. One remained & it had to be stopped from landing in the US. They destroyed it while it was over the North Pole, but Thomas seemingly sacrificed himself. All that was left of him was a severed left arm.
But what really happened was the explosion sent Thomas to 2008. He & his shield were found in a frozen state. The first person he saw, was his son, who is an agent for the organization that found him, S.P.E.A.R., lead by Don Sorrow.
The Tungsten Gentleman Richard Lanister, hooked Thomas up with a metal arm.
In those 41 years, Jaegar continued as the Lieutenant Germany. Once he started to get old, it was time for the mantle to be passed on. He had a son too, difference being it was after becoming a supersoldier. The powers were genetic, his son wanted to follow in his footsteps, so he was trained for years, and by 2008, was the 2nd Lieutenant Germany.
The US tried making another super soldier in those 41 years, they had the remaining arm to research, and Thomas' son was ready to volunteer for the project. Richard's father, Edward Lanister, was the lead mind behind it. Was so close to replicating it exactly. But Z.M.E.I also continued after the Cold War, and had him assasinated by one thats curently only known by the codename, The Jade Mongolian. The project was locked away.

No matter your opinions on Reva, can we all agree that she's the closest canon Grey Jedi yet, and in whatever spin-off she gets, she should get a DIFFERENT lightsaber color? Im sick of the same ol' blue & green we see in everything. Of course I had to draw up 4 different options. One wasnt enough.
And Reva's last name....I legit didn't know her last name was that until I looked up the character's full name for this. Its funny, I looked up the actress to see if she did other work. I see that not only she's from Baltimore, MD, my hometown, she was born a freakin' day before me. After ObiWan S1 finished, I see that last name that's similar to my artist name.
So, 3 of the lightsaber colors I went with, some Maryland colors influenced that 100%.

The Onyx Raven(II) - X'Kamau
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
On Earth-052, X'Kamau lived a normal life. Born in Wakanda, but raised in America by his father X'Kei, because he didnt want his son to live in conflict like him & his wife, who was leading one side of said conflict.
Through 20 years, things were fine. The two lived in Maryland, X'Kei technological work took up alot of time, but still had time for son.
One evening, while the two were moving into a new home, police arrived. X'Kamau was in the house at the time, then a gunshot went off. He ran out & saw him dead. He was enraged, and unbeknownst to him, this nanotech suit started to connect with him.
They opened fire. He killed the person responsible. When scanning him, its revealed that he's an ex cop. Shouldn't have been on patrol, let alone giving orders to two other cops(Training Day-style), that X'Kamau cuffed shortly before.
He uploaded the camera footage from the cop car that recorded the whole thing, to the Internet. Vowing then and to the whole world & there to end all criminals, and proceeded to handle a gang shootout that was occurring. Before that, activated a protocol regarding the house & his father's corpse.
After the first night of patrol, he heads to a safehouse. But before that, went to an old friend of his father's, as part of the protocol. He'll handle his father's cremation.
X'Kamau knew that his father made incredible tech, and emergency protocols, but never knew about the suit. Named The Onyx Raven. In the safehouse, he places the helmet down & his father left behind holographic logs.
The suit was originally meant for him, built after realizing that crime, violence, conflicts cannot be ran away from. He studied Adamantimum & figured out a way to make such strong, yet light & non-toxic material. Calls it Element Kei(it can hold its own against Vibranium, but not win). If he were to die, Protocol 2 activates, and the armor recognizes his son & no one else. His final wish to him is that if he wants to walk the same path, then channel & focus anger, and never let vengeance consume him.
X'Kamau then hears other logs his father left behind. The knowledge of how Element Kei is made, is transferred into his head, so no one else have that information.
One log in particular involves that ex cop. During the 5-year period where half the Earth was Thanos'd, X'Kei didnt intend to kill criminals. He was working with the last good cop in the state, Detective Santos Rodriguez. He was looking to a crime ring led by 6 cops. He was later set-up & his murder looked like he was k.i.a. That's when X'Kei's view changed. Those 6 cops left the force shortly after, but still had authority & that grip was not only on the city, but the whole state of MD.
And so, X'Kamau intends to finish what they started. In one patrol when going after one of the 5 remaining ex cops, he met Rodriguez' daughter, Andrea. She knew her father was murdered by those 6 cops, but needed proof. The two settled on only bringing the leader of the crime ring alive, because without that grip, he doesnt have the Police Chief, Judges, the Mayor, etc., in his pocket.
A year later, things are quiet & X'Kamau visits a museum in Washington DC that showcases Wakandan history. He meets the Dora Milaje, and Queen Shuri(on this Earth, T'Challa fights alongside the Avengers, while Shuri handles things in Wakanda). Of course he's willing to turn himself in if Wakanda is concerned about the suit. Shuri was concerned, but the reason they were there, was because of another. X'Kamau's mother, Zosia, Queen of the Raven Tribe.
To Be Continued...
(Quick note, I wanted that Raven Tribe to be a Lion Tribe, but Wakanda actually has a lion tribe. So that idea's out).
The Onyx Raven suit is light, bulletproof, weather resistant, and considering the crazy things Wolverine survived, it can take nearly as much punishment. Or at least Mark I of the suit. It may rival Vibranium & Adamantium, but X'Kamau himself is still normal. No heart shaped herb to grant him powers...yet.
So if X'Kamau were to tank a strong energy blast, he'd live, but just be stunned for a bit. If he took some kind of nuclear blast, he'd live & be safe from radiation, but cant take the suit off until the decontamination process finishes.
He can use the nanotech to make weapons like knives & spears. But others may require a base. So if he holds a normal sword, and can merge Element Kei with it for the time being.
Element Kei has a reaction to velocity. So, if X'Kamau runs or flies at high speeds, the velocity from it can be used further strengthen him.
And when it comes to his skills, in his first patrol, logs in the helmet helped, but he quickly noticed that he already has some combat skill because his father trained him through the years & he didnt know it because said training involved what seemed to be normal ways of staying active, but were really Wakandan teachings. Teachings he honed in further training at the safehouse.
