History[]
Origin[]
In the present era, Uncle Sam received a warning from Teletig of planet Qward, warning them of a subversive threat. Impressed by Plastic Man's spirit, Uncle Sam invited him to join the Freedom Fighters. In the course of the mission, Uncle Sam exhausted his power and vanished, telling Plastic Man to unleash the spirit of freedom on Qward. Plastic Man then interrupted the Supreme Chairman's live execution of the Freedom Fighters and sang Yankee Doodle. The heroes and Qwardians joined in. The level of patriotism revived Uncle Sam and the Qwardian Weaponers were defeated.
Personality[]
Uncle Sam was a friendly and trusting if not a bit naïve old man as he let Plastic Man, a hero who believed that the Republican and Democratic symbols were representations of the circus, join his team. He enjoyed using lines relating to American patriotism and was supposedly good friends with the President.
Powers and Abilities[]
Uncle Sam is the embodiment of the American virtues of Freedom, Liberty, and Justice but despite this, he can draw upon these virtues to give him strength in any culture, even ones not found on Earth. He is extraordinarily strong and a master of hand to hand combat. He can also channel his power to create force fields or lend that power to someone else to augment them. However, if a local population does not embrace the attributes that give him his power, Uncle Sam can fade away but cannot die as he is a symbol rather than an actual being.
