Union Jack possesses no superhuman powers but is a superb athlete with some experience at hand-to-hand combat and wrestling. Like his predecessors before him, he carries two weapons with him on the field. The first is a steel dagger with a 6-inch blade, which is strapped to his left hip. The second is a Webley .455 caliber pistol, which is carried in a tied-down flapped holster on his right hip.

In our reality, Lord Montgomery Falsworth, the original Union Jack, hoped that his daugher's son Kenneth Crichton would become the third Union Jack, but Kenneth had no desire to do so. Crichton discovered that Baron Blood was masquerading as his Grandfather's physician Dr. Cromwell, a revelation that would lead to his death at the hands of Captain America. Captain America devised a plan to lure out Baron Blood using Crichton's friend Joseph Chapman disguised in the Union Jack costume serving as bait. Although Chapman, as Union Jack, battled Baron Blood, it was Captain America who finally slew the vampire by beheading him, thereby ending his vampiric life permanently. Joseph Chapman has continued to operate as the third Union Jack, carrying on the noble tradition of both Montgomery and Brian Falsworth. Meanwhile, Kenneth Crichton would eventually be transformed into a vampire and be killed.
