Colonel Straton the current active Old Glory. The Eighth Old Glory to be dubbed Protector of the Founding Fathers dream. Robert E. Stanton was on tour when he was struck by lightning, and presumed dead. Fortunately, Straton survived the disaster and discovered shortly thereafter that he had strange abilities; Super Human Strength, Agility, Flight and the ability to discharge blasts of pure energy from his hands. The lightning strike unfortunately seared his eyes causing them to permanently glow. With his newly gifted powers, and his ability to draw and execute a battle plan Colonel Stanton was chosen to replace Old Glory VII, and run the upstart group of Super Heroes known as the Patriot Act.
UNTIL UPDATE: It is rumored that something fishy is going on. Old Glory VIII possibly murdered Old Glory VII and took the elixir a bit earlier than intended. Possibly working with the Villain Super Group “The Illuminati” and working to destroy the Super Group Patriot Act and everything the founding fathers created.
