It's one thing to be the Canadian knock-off of Captain America...but it's another thing to be the lesser of two Canadian knock-offs of Captain America.
Often confused for Alpha Flight's leader Guardian (and rightfully so - both of their costumes are based on the Canadian flag), Captain Canuck bounced from the future and present day, fighting Canadian crime whenever needed. He might be goofy, but while Alpha Flight is off fighting the big Canadian battles, Canuck was sweeping up biker gangs and border-crossing arms dealers, allowing Canadians to feel safe and never stoop to locking their front doors.
