Fan Casting Doctor Faustus in George Nolfi's Captain America

Henry Faustus grew up in Washington, DC, where he grew up surrounded by politicians and lobbyists. By his own account, he grew fascinated by how lobbyists were able to influence the votes of Congressmen, sometimes even against the Congressman's own interests. This led to a lifelong interest in mind control and brainwashing. He attended college at Georgetown University, earning both his M.D. and Ph.D. in his fields. His reputed skill and political connections led to his name being on the top of the list of psychiatrists in SHIELD's files when Captain America was being influenced by dreams of his son, who went MIA during the Vietnam War and was never accounted for. Unknown to Captain America or SHIELD, Doctor Faustus was working for an unrevealed subversive employer who sought to eliminate Captain America. Following each visit, the Captain's dreams got worse, to the point where Faustus was almost able to get the Captain to commit suicide; the Captain was talked down at the last minute by his SHIELD liaison and great-niece, Sharon Carter, who had discovered Faustus's attempt at mind control. When Captain America and Carter attempted to arrest Faustus, however, they discovered that he had fled his offices and arranged passage to the island nation of Madripoor, which does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. In Madripoor, he teamed up with the criminals Crossbones and Sin, who also were working for Faustus's undisclosed benefactor. He has recently taken possession of a cryogenic stasis chamber; the identity of the person in the chamber and Faustus's intentions are currently unknown, but Faustus has remarked on the person's "striking resemblance" to someone he knows, and that the person in the chamber "will make an excellent test subject."
