World War II
"Who are you supposed to be?" "I'm... Captain America." "I beg your pardon?"

- Gabe Jones, Captain America, and Falsworth

James Montgomery Falsworth was born in Birmingham, England.

He was a member of the of the British Armed Forces. His unit was captured by the Germans and sent to work at the top secret HYDRA weapons facility in the Austrian Alps.

He was freed with the rest of the prisoners by Captain America and helped Dum Dum Dugan control a HYDRA Tank in order to cause panic in the enemy lines. Falsworth and the rest of the freed soldiers slowly marched to the U.S. military base in Italy. Upon arrival, he and the rest of the soldiers all cheered Captain America for saving their lives.

Later, Falsworth was handpicked to join the Howling Commandos, along with Dugan and Bucky Barnes to be Captain America's personal unit, and helped cleanse HYDRA from Germany.

He helped to raid the HYDRA Headquarters with the other Commandos; Falsworth made sure that Rogers got his shield before he chased after the Red Skull.

After Captain America's supposed death, he and the other surviving commandos drank together in memory of their supposedly fallen leader.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Falsworth becomes the masked superhero Union Jack, where he is a veteran of WWI and was an elderly man, with two grown kids, Jacqueline and Brian. After gaining powers, Jacqueline after a blood transfusion from the original Human Torch, combined with an earlier bite from her vampire uncle, which granted her super speed; and Brian from a variant of the Super Soldier Serum, both fought alongside Captain America during World War II.
 * His comics codename, Union Jack, was given to Peggy Carter by Dum Dum Dugan, modified, as Miss Union Jack.


 * While Falsworth's beret is the correct maroon colour, the badge has no resemblance to that of any of the Parachute Brigades. Rather it is a fictional badge that appears to resemble that of the Scots Guards albeit with a Union Flag in the centre. This is likely a reference to his role in the comic books as the character Union Jack.
 * In the non-canon video game Captain America: Super Soldier, Falsworth is captured and placed in a containment device, with Arnim Zola intending to kill Captain America and drain his blood to re-create the Super Soldier Serum and use it on Falsworth to transform him into a symbol and the perfect assassin. This is and the Union Jack flag located beside him are a reference to his comics codename.
