BATTLESTAR
Real Name: Lemar Hoskins
First Appearance: Captain America (Vol. 1) #323, November 1986
Powers: Originally a baseline human with no superhuman powers, Lemar Hoskins was once a wrestler
who had been given superhuman strength through a treatment
administered by the Power Broker. Hoskins became one of
the Bold Urban Commandos, or "Buckies," who wore
variations on Captain America's costume and claimed to be
supporters of Captain America's rival, John Walker, the
Super-Patriot. After being convinced of the racist implications of his "Bucky" identity, Hoskins took on the new costumed identity of "Battlestar".
Due to the Power Broker's
treatment, Battlestar possesses enhanced size and musculature, giving him superhuman strength which enables him to lift (press) roughly ten tons, durability, agility, and stamina. An excellent hand-to-hand combatant, gymnast, and acrobat, he wields a triangular-shaped shield composed of Adamantium.
