“”We wanted John Walker to be worthy of being Captain America if we were going to give him the shield,” Spellman told IGN. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier showrunner and head writer Malcolm Spellman does give a hint on Walker’s overall direction in the show. In the comics, he was the one sent by the government to retrieve the shield from the new Captain America, Sam Wilson. On the other, he’s a jackbooted soldier punching folks at the behest of the U.S. On one end, he’s a decent guy who doesn’t go about things in the right manner.
With a character like John Walker, there’s a decent spectrum between good and evil. That’s not to say he doesn’t have heroic moments, he just doesn’t come at them as easy as his fellow Avengers. Walker is more about using his fists over using his words. Agent strays away from the ideal of Captain America: he’s a little rougher and more willing to follow orders. Agent, sort of a Red State Captain America. Super-Patriot later became Captain America, with his own version of Bucky, only to lose the mantle to Steve Rogers. So, I put together his background and character traits by playing the opposite game.” Cap has lofty ideals, so I’ll make Super-Patriot be more realistic and more pragmatic. Cap is now old, so this guy’ll be a real young up-and-comer. So I’ll make a guy from rural middle class south. “Okay, Steve Rogers is a poor northern urban boy. “Basically, I just wanted to do the opposite of Steve Rogers,” John Walker creator Mark Gruenwald told Comics Interview back in 1988 (issue #54). Think of him as a skewed mirror on the idea Captain America. The comics iteration has been Captain America in the past, but he’s more well-known as U.S. He hasn’t been named in the show, but this new Captain America is John Walker.
