The current limited series The United States of Captain America is introducing new, local versions of Captain America as part of what's called t𓂃he 'Captains Network' - and the next issue will debut Nichelle Wright oꦰf Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

"The thing I can say about Nichelle is that she is working day and night to bring change into a world where she feels defeated," says writer Mohale Mashigo in the announcement. "Nichelle is a light in a da🐽rk time and she wants to take ownership of her community and space in America."

Mashigo and artist Natacha Bustos' new hero will debut in  July 28's The United States o⛄f Captain America #2, both in a back-up story by them and in the lead story by series writer Christopher Cantwell and artist Dale Eaglesham.

"There are very few occasions when you have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of a character as genuine and powerful as Nichelle," Bustos says. "She is undoubt🌺edly one of the characters that I am most proud to have designed, for all that she represents and what she means for the community."

Bustos is modest - she also co-created the Marvel character Moon Girl, who is slated to co-star in the Disney Ch🐼annel animated series Moon Gi🐼rl & Devil Dinosaur.

(And if 𒈔Nichelle's one pant leg design is a homa♊ge to Florence Griffith Joyner's iconic track and field attire? Even better.)

The overall arc of United States of Captain America is about Steve Rogers and his fellow Captain Americas (or is it Captains America) uniting to recover the iconic Captain America shield, which has been stolen. Along the way, the 'professional' Caps discover someone is targeting this new c💜rew of grassroots Captain Americas.
