Captain Citrus
John Polk was a simple orange farmer in central Florida until Solar Pods fell out of the sky in a bolt of energy. Bonding with the pods to save his home from a storm, he fought off Blizzard, hired by Justin Hammer to freeze their orange grove. After defeating the villain, his sister named him Captain Citrus, and he helped the Avengers against threats like Leader and Kang the Conqueror.
