First appeared in Justice League America #46 in 1991 and was created by Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis.
Joseph Jones was a soldier in World War II who was granted superior abilities by Lady Liberty herself upon saying the words:
"Lady of Liberty, hear my plea —
For the land of the brave —
And home of the free!"
He became a government agent, under the authority of an Agent Newkirk Sharp. Sharp arranged for "General Glory" comic books to be published, so that people would believe he was a fictional character. In England, his adventures were published in the pages of Tuppenny Fun. Jones also took in kid sidekick Ernest Earnest.
Shortly before his death, he met Donovan Wallace, who would become the next General Glory.
He is a pastiche of Captain America.
