Fan Casting William Burnside in The Adventures of Captain Carter!

Following Peggy Carter's direct deployment into active covert fieldwork, the American political machine—led by a frustrated John Flynn—grew desperate for a super-soldier they could completely control. Flynn's faction launched a highly classified, off-the-books initiative to reverse-engineer Erskine's serum using altered chemical compounds and early, unrefined data stolen from Hydra's captured research. William Burnside, a fiercely nationalistic, aggressively eager young officer with a flawless military record, volunteered for the procedure. The experiment was a volatile, incomplete success. While it successfully granted Burnside physical capabilities that rivaled Peggy’s strength, the synthetic serum lacked the stabilization of the original formula. To make matters worse, Burnside was subjected to intense, aggressive psychological conditioning designed by Flynn's handlers to ensure absolute obedience to the state.
