Dynamite Entertainment
Dynamite Entertainment announced in 2007 that Fighting Yank would be the protagonist among several public domain Golden Age characters appearing in the comic book series Project Superpowers, by writer Jim Krueger and artist Alex Ross.
The Fighting Yank played a major role in the story as he is the one who caused many of the events to be set in motion. During World War II, he was ordered to retrieve Pandora’s Box from the clutches of Hitler (who had opened the box and ignited World War II as a result of the released evils). Under orders by the government and his ancestor's ghost, the Yank has to trap not only the evils of Pandora's Box, but also his fellow superheroes.
Decades after accomplishing his mission, Bruce Carter III, now an old man, is confronted by the American Spirit, who chastizes him for his actions. Carter realized that his actions have only allowed evil to flourish instead, and set out to free his former teammates. Fighting Yank succeeds in freeing his teammates, but is mortally wounded in a battle.
As he died, the Yank took on his ancestor's curse and became a partly solid ghost. This allowed him to arrive in time to save the other heroes.
