The Squadron Supreme, as a result of their conflict with the Overmind, instituted "Utopia Program". They assumed control of Earth-712's United States, and publicly revealed their true identities.[5] He again adopted another identity after his father died from a heart attack. Using a costume made by his dead father, he took the name Blue Eagle. With the Squadron, he battled a group of rebel soldiers at Fort Largo.[6] The Squadron then battled the Institute of Evil.[7] Dore then discovered that the Golden Archer had used the Behavior Modificiation Device on Lady Lark, and called for the Archer's dismissal from the team.[8] He was captured by Nighthawk's Redeemers and placed under Master Menace's Behavior Modification machine.[9] The Institute of Evil is a fictional organization, owned by Marvel Comics. ...

After a period of time when the surviving members of the Squadron Supreme had returned to Earth 712 from their forced exile, they found the government of Earth combined to create an armed force of Blue Eagles to patrol and keep the populance docile. These troops would be opposed by the Squadron along with the Eagle's opposite number, the Nighthawks.


Powers and abilities

Blue Eagle wears a specially designed flying suit of synthetic stretch fabric equipped with artificial wings on his back enabling natural winged flight, that was desgined by his father James Dore Sr. (the original American Eagle) and his mother Adrian Dore. These wings had a "anti-gravity effect" that allowed Dore to fly. The Blue Eagle costume could be enhanced with a shield, light armour, and a protective helmet.


Dore was highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, specializing in aerial combat. He demonstrated a wide range of skill with ancient melee weapons.
