General Wo is a general of the communist Viet Cong army in Vietnam. Prior to becoming a military official, he was a skilled sumo wrestler,[note 1] and continued to portray the persona of a sumo in his new role. In late 1964, he was approached by Captain America, who attempted to peacefully barter for the release of helicopter pilot Jim Baker. Instead, Wo ordered them both to death, but the two Americans fought back and escaped.[1]

Notes

  1. Sumo is primarily a Japanese tradition. This disparity is likely due to writer error.
