Connections: Iconic heroes who were the first of their kind of a long line of heroes from different corners of the world. Both used to be normal humans before they were given superhuman abilities by a good-natured scientist, who was later killed by their respective villains, which served as a long-running motivation for them to become better heroes. Both fought a Nazi-inspired organization with the help of their trusty sidekick (Bucky Barnes / Kamen Rider Nigo respectively). Both have selfless, heroic, and patriotic attitudes, always fighting for truth and justice for all.
