Rebel Ralston

Robert "Rebel" Ralston is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in ''Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos'' #1 (May 1963), and was created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers.

A native of Kentucky, he was an accomplished horseman who was skilled with a lasso and a founding member of the original Howling Commandos led by Nick Fury Sr. during World War II.

After the war, Ralston was one of the founding members of the V-Battalion, and later elected US Senator of Texas. He rejoined his old comrades, the Howling Commandos, and Captain America (but Captain Sam Sawyer was killed), and survived an assassination attempt while co-chairing the Senate Defense Committee. He has worked closely with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Commission on Superhuman Activities.

When Fury was seemingly killed by the Punisher, Ralston and Iron Man advised the President not to attend the funeral in the event that the supervillains attack. In the form of Lt. Dallas, Omnibus placed Ralston under mental control to turn over information that can used to fund a terrorist organization called "The Alliance". When the Hulk was captured by Major Glenn Talbot, Ralston observed Bruce Banner in custody and refused to have Talbot kill Banner until the President made a decision. Robert attended a briefing on "The Alliance" with Talbot, Dum Dum Dugan, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and Henry Peter Gyrich. The Senator and his allies continued to debate about "The Alliance", and could not determine who the group was and motive. After the Hulk had claimed responsibility for "The Alliance" in order to serve as an enemy that the people can fight back against, Thor confronted Ralston and the others in confronting the Hulk.

Robert was contacted by J. Jonah Jameson as he searched for support against Bastion and Operation: Zero Tolerance. Ralston suggested to Jameson to try Senator Robert Kelly who was more frustrated with the mutant issue.

Ralston traveled to Sudan where he met with Fury, Captain America, Sharon Carter and John Garrett at Fury's Sandbox for one last party together. Fury talked with Ralston for a moment about the support for Fury's operation that would get the U.S. Senate and the Senator only asked how soon will need those votes be needed. Robert listed to a good few stories from the past. Ralston raised his glass in a toast to the Howling Commanders' fallen members.

Robert spoke to the United Nations about the President's plans for international funds to provide economic, political, and military stabilities in areas suffering from international terrorist threats. Ralston was appointed control over the fund. The Senator picked up Jasper Sitwell and Dugan from the United Nations' prison and brought the two to his limousine waiting with Fury and Garrett already inside.

The Senator attended a weapons expo with Daisy Johnson and Nick Fury Jr., but is killed during A.I.M. Scientist Supreme's theft of the Iron Patriot armor.
