The Grand Director

 
The Grand Director (William Burnside), also known as the Captain America of the 1950s, is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe. He was created
by writer Steve Englehart and artist Sal Buscema in Captain America #153-156 (September–December, 1972) as having been a specifically different Captain
America, the Captain America introduced in 1953 in Young Men comics.

In a later storyline, the character was given a new white costume and the title "The Grand Director" by Buscema and writers Roger McKenzie and Jim Shooter in
Captain America #232 (April, 1979) and altered to be a villain, leader of a group of White Supremacists that included a brainwashed Sharon Carter. The
character was killed off at the end of that storyline, and not used again until Captain America (Vol. 5) #42, returning to being active as the "Captain
America of the 1950s" separate from the then-current Captain America, James "Bucky" Barnes.
