Marvel spoofing Freedom Force?

I was reading the "Age of the Sentry #2"  and in it there was a brief fight with a character called "Supercollider" who was a big red brick type fighter, then reading the latest Initiative I noticed they named the Montana team "Freedom Force" (which I know they already had that name owned) but later on the Initiative was fighting a Skrull agent called "Revolutionary" whom looked really familier.  But it was the symbol on his chest that REALLY stuck out to me.
It probably is a coincedence but I just found it kinda nifty.

well...some writers have actually acknowledged the game and our actual community (not so much FR...but our skinners/meshers), so I wouldn't be surprised if Minute Man and his crew were being referenced by the marvel writers. It's pretty cool to see. Maybe...maybe someone should shoot off an email and get confirmation? :P

The Revolutionary's team Liberteens is based on the Liberty Legion and it's members are inspired from it's lineup. The Revolutionary is based on The Patriot. But that doesn't mean some inspiration wasn't taken from the game.

The symbol is right off The Patriot's costume.

Ah, thats why it looked so familiar, I knew I saw that exact symbol before, I guess I thought it resembled the FF eagle symbol.
Nice catch!
