In Uncle Sam Quarterly #2, Uncle Sam tells his origin. He was originally Sam, a young man from what was then colonial America. When the colonies declared independence, he volunteered to fight in the burgeoning American army. He was killed in battle, but before he could pass on, a mysterious entity made him a spiritual embodiment of the new nation. Since then, Sam appeared whenever America needed help, lending his hand to many conflicts. In his debut appearance, Uncle Sam came upon Buddy Smith, a boy crying because his father was murdered by a crypto-Nazi gang known as the Purple Shirts. Uncle Sam took on and defeated the Purple Shirts. From that point on, Uncle Sam effectively adopted Buddy, and took him along on his adventures. This version of Uncle Sam had super-human strength and durability, the ability to appear anywhere he’s needed, and whatever other powers he may need to resolve the plot. Uncle Sam’s enemies included Blackout, King Killer, the Pied Piper, and the Witch Queen.
