Biography

Lemar Hoskins

Battlestar was created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary where he made his first appearance in Captain America v1 #323 (November, 1986).
In Comics Interview v1 #54 (1988), Gruenwald explained that, "I get several letters every month asking when Bucky's coming back. And I said, "Well, if the government's getting a new Captain America, maybe they'd want to get a new Bucky." I had previously introduced three Buckies as the friends and partners of the Super-Patriot, the Bold Urban Commandos, and rather than create someone new, I decided one of them would be the Bucky. There were two white guys and a black guy, and I said why not the black guy. He at least stood out in the group. Cap had a black partner before in the Falcon, but he's had three other white partners so I said it's time for another black one. Thus, Bucky was black. Now I'm getting a lot of bad mail, and deservedly so, for my ignorance."

In Spider-Man, Battlestar appeared in the setting of the 1990s animated television series during the five-part episode "Six Forgotten Warriors" where he had a non-speaking role.
In Spider-Man, Battlestar appeared in the setting of the 2017 animated television series in the episode "Take Two" where he had a non-speaking role.
In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Lemar Hoskins appeared in the setting of the live-action television mini-series where he was portrayed by actor Clé Bennett.
