Jarowit Crucian (Polish Patriot)

Jarowit Crucian (born 31 January 1918) is one of the Superhumans, who began operating as superheroes and use their extraordinary powers during World War 2. He began as a regular soldier, but over the course of the war, looking at the constant failures of the Ally forces, he decided to become a symbol, who would give the soldiers the motivation they needed and guide his nation towards victory. Thus, he became a hero named the Polish Patriot. He is one of the founding members of Team Y, as well as its leader. He also used to lead The White Eagles brigade and Squadron 404.

While patrolling the streets of Bobrowniki on one day, he came across two unconcious men, whom he and his partner transported to the Dęblin Flight School and managed to identify as Philip Turner and Michael Foot, thanks to the documents in their pockets. After the two awoke, they were decided to join the school to have a shelter and soon, they also joined The White Eagles. When World War 2 broke out, Jarowit and his team were sent to the front only a few weeks into September, to help some brigades around Krasnobród. There, they met General John for the first time, who also attacked their school not long after that. During that battle, Jarowit saw the superhero Hyper Man, whom he found as an inspiration and decided to become a hero himself. Arming up with a sword, a shield and the self-constructed jetpack with wings, he became the Polish Patriot.

Eventually, Jarowit was granted the captain rank and became the Squadron 404 leader. When John was seen in Switzerland, the team went to fight him, which turned out to be the enemy's way to get Mike's Time-Watch into his possession. Despite that, they went after him and eventually participated in a plane battle with the Cyberplanes. The Robots shot down all of the Squadron, except for Jarowit, who defeated them and almost exited the atmosphere. Finding his friends in a concentration camp, he found out that Philip and Michael had regained their memories and remembered that they were time-travellers. After returning to the base, Jarowit became a part of the team formed to protect time and space before the paradox caused by John. Thus, Team Y was born, with Jarowit's cousin, The Living Ice and The Hunter as two other members. Although they seemingly won a big battle with John, it turned out to be a setup to kill Patriot and deepen the timeline alteration. However, after seeing the ruined future, Phil and Mike came back and the team had a final showdown with John in Szczecin, 1945, when John was joined by Mr. Time, straight from the alternate timeline he created. Meanwhile, the team was joined by Nature-Man, whose help granted them victory, which led to turning the villains in to the Time Police.

Early life
Jarowit Crucian was born on 31 January 1918 in Warsaw. Since early childhood, he had been interested by science and showed a great love for his homeland. In 1936, along with his cousin, Hubert, he enlisted to the army. Over a year, he was promoted from a private to a corporal. He also joined the same team as Hubert. There, they met their good friend, Luke Archer. During his time in the school, he also got to know Victoria Markowska, whom he secretly began to admire. After some time, Jarowit was chosen as the team leader and created its name - The White Eagles.

Meeting the time-travellers
On 22 August 1939, he was patrolling the streets of Bobrowniki along with lieutenant colonel Witold Urbanowicz. On their way back to the Flight School, he noticed two unconcious men in an alley. Along with Witold, they put the two in their jeep and transported to the Dęblin Flight School to take care of them. After moving them to the School, Jarowit was watching them, until he eventually woke them up out of curiosity and got to know them. It turned out that they had fallen into an amnesia, but thanks to the papers in their pockets, he was able to learn their names. They were called Philip Turner and Michael Foot. When Jarowit's highest supervisor, general Carl Markowski, along with Witold, offered the two to join the school, he was reluctant. Despite that, the two men agreed. Over the next months, they were training to become great soldiers and pilots. After over a week, the war broke out and as many people as possible were immediately sent to the front, including The White Eagles, which were joined by Phil and Mike.

Fighting alongside White Eagles
The first action of the team was to support the Polish divisions during the battle of Krasnobród by defeating the additional German groups around the city's borders, where no one else could have taken care of that. It was then when Jarowit first proved himself as a leader. Along with the leaders of other teams from the Dęblin school, Józef Świerkowski and Hubert Kozłowski, he led his friends against the divisions, which turned out to be led by General John. Many were injured during the battle, including The White Eagles member, Anthony Szorstki. Fortunately, his wound wasn't that severe and he was moved to be cured in America. Thus, Jarowit bid him farewell for a few months and didn't have to mourn over a teammate loss.

Over a week later, the Dęblin school was visited by a fellow brigade, a part of which was Stanley Ant. They came by to discuss with general Markowski regarding the further campaign. It was decided that the general would depart with them to western Europe, to fight the Germans using a "secret weapon", which in reality was Stanley, who was a Superhuman. During that time, the facility was attacked by General John in his mecha. To increase their chances against the machine, Jarowit, along with Phil and Luke, got into a tank and drove it. Thanks to his tactical sense, they were doing well. Soon, the battle was also joined by Stanley as Hyper Man, though even he couldn't defeat the mecha. At one point, John shot Jarowit's tank and the boys were forced to instantly evacuate. They barely got out alive, but ultimately, Phil defeated the enemies by using his power of superstrength, which he didn't remember due to amnesia.
