Captain America : The First Avenger
Jim Morita was a Japanese-American soldier who was captured by HYDRA. When Captain America single-handedly assaulted the facility in which he was prisoner, Morita along with his companions broke free and wreaked havoc on the HYDRA agents, coming back to US military base immediately after. Shortly after their break-out, Morita and his comrades were invited to join a special elite squadron led by Rogers himself. Morita accepted, despite the perspective of coming back to the front-line immediately after merely escaping with his life. Along with the other Howlers, Morita takes part in every assault against HYDRA, until, during the one at Johann Schmidt's fortress, Cap goes missing in action.
