After he beat them, Walker tied them up near a massive oil drum, lit a torch, and walked away as it exploded, murdering them. This loss proved the beginning of a mental breakdown that led Walker to threaten Lennox and Johnson's parents in revenge unless they fought him at an oil refinery. The two men eventually revealed Walker's secret identity on national television and thus indirectly caused the deaths of his parents. When John Walker replaced Steve Rogers as the 'official' Captain America in 'Captain America' #333, he asked all of them to be his new partners, but after running background checks on the three men, the US government would only allow Lemar Hoskins to become John's new partner 'Battlestar.' Enraged, Hector Lennox and Jerome Johnson took on the ill-conceived names of 'Left-Winger' and 'Right-Winger' and became some of John's first supervillains.

Though neither had the Super Soldier Serum or Cap's famous shield, both men served with bravery and distinction and their stories were told in the 2011 graphic novel 'Captain America: Patriot.' When Nasland died, Mace was asked to do the same, and he managed to survive through the end of the war. Both were costumed superhero allies of Captain America during World War II, and when Steve went missing, the president asked Nasland to become the new Cap in order to keep up morale. There were also two 'official' replacements: William Nasland and Jeffrey Mace. He was one of the only survivors, but when he stole a Captain America uniform and shield meant for Steve Rogers in order to destroy a Nazi super soldier program, he was arrested upon his return and experimented on further into his old age.
