No, this particular Union Jack is a unique character of my own devising. The modern age Union Jack in the comics, Joseph Chapman, is actually a friend of Spitfire's son, Kenneth Creighton, who took on the role because Kenneth chose not to. You'll notice this Union Jack doesn't actually have powers, or even superhuman stats (14s across the board in physical stats is notable, yes, but not superhuman); the hormone therapy was more to look and sound more male, not meant to give powers. As for buddies with Cap, well, Cap and the elder Union Jack were old war buddies (they even managed to work the WWII Union Jack into
First Avenger as one of the Howling Commandos, though they used his middle name of Montgomery).
I actually had the idea that Jack was a transexual back when I did Baron Blood's entry; I think I did a good job of hiding it in Blood's entry, yes? :)
