Description: John is an attractive and athletic man with blonde hair and

Explanation of the conversion: As more becomes known about Citizen V II in
future issues I will update this page as appropiate. I didn't bother
giving him any of the gadgets of the other Citizen Vs, since I don't know
which ones he may or may not use. He only has what equipment he's
displayed using in the comic so far.
History: John Watkins III is the grandson of the original
Citizen V, and took on that title as a member of the V Battalion. Shomhow
he became incapacated and spent many years in a London hospital. During
that time Baron Zemo II borrowed his identity as leader of the
Thunderbolts. Eventually Zemo gave up the Citizen V III identity and it
was taken up by Dallas Riodran, who became Citizen V IV. She was kidnapped
by the Crimson Cowl III. Zemo was later killed by Scourge IX. About that
time John recovered and was approached by the V Battalion about resuming
his roll as Citizen V II (Thunderbolts #46).
John received a new costume and with an arrangement with the Committee of
Superhuman Activities became the leader of a new superhuman team they were
forming. They gained possession of the latest Beetle armor which was
briefly used by Abner Jenkins (Thunderbolts #47).
The team soon recruited a person to wear the armor as the Beetle II. They
recruited Conrad Josten, younger brother to Atlas to become the Smuggler
II and Air Force pilot Valerie Barnhart who became Meteorite III
(Thunderbolts #48).
Citizen V II's team then gained the membership of Scream and the Fixer II,
and the Redeemers were born (Thunderbolts #49).
The first mission the Redeemers took on was to capture Henry Peter Gyrich,
who had planned to use nano-probes and the Omega-32 device to cleanse the
world of superhumans. When they attacked Gyrich at his base in Washington
D.C. the whole team except Citizen V II was taken over by mind controlling
nano-probes. Citizen V II escaped and fell in with the Thunderbolts and
Scourge IX, who were also after Gyrich. Together they faced the mind
controlled members of the Redeemers. Eventually Citizen V II also fell to
the nano-probes. The nano-probes were destroyed by Jolt II, but they soon
learned that Gyrich was also being controlled. Soon after this the
Thunderbolts members Songbird, MACH-2 and Moonstone II were pardoned for
the past crimes but forced to give up superheroics. The Thunderbolts
leader Hawkeye was sent to prison for a variety of small crimes.
Thunderbolts members Jolt II and Charcoal joined the Redeembers
(Thunderbolts #50).
Note: The original Citizen V was John's grandfather and a minor costumed
hero of World War II who was killed by Baron Zemo. Citizen V III was an
identity used by Baron Zemo II when he was a member of the Thunderbolts.
Citizen V IV was Dallas Riodran.
Powers: Citizen V II has no powers to speak of, but is a highly skilled
fighter. He wears a padded costume which has an independent air supply,
infrared vision capabilities, and allows him to see behind him. He carries
a sword and several gadgets, like smoke bombs. He carries an automatic
pistol.
