Hate. I grew up believing I knew hate, I didn't know true hatred until I learned the name Ahab.
History
In 2012 Jakob would graduate from Barnes Academy and be indoctrinated directly into S.H.I.E.L.D., for the next three years he would spend as a loyal and dedicated Operative, even having softened up where his prejudices were concerned forming friendships and new companion-ships with 'ab normals' things were in order for the young man. A very competent soldier he rose to every occasion to prove himself even on the night in 2015 when Sentinels obliterated Xavier's and Barnes Academy, he was one of the initial who tried to stop it.
In that battle he lost a hand, half of his other arm, a good portion of his torso and a chunk of his head including an eye the battle. Near death he was saved by several of those whom were fleeing New York and the Sentinel raid, thankfully a cybernetics capable and savvy individual was amidst them, one who helped salvage the lost parts (temporarily at the time). However, his mutant abilities would be severely altered. No longer did he have the ability to 'surge' or completely control his own physiology as he had learned to over the years (having even achieved new heights with it up to staggering superhuman levels).
Jakob would become more cyborg than mutant. Using bionic and cybernetic implants to compensate for lost abilities, He now uses his considerable knowledge in combat tactics, martial arts and weaponry to make up for the loss.
For a while he bore the name Arsenal, sporting multi-optics, an array of firearms, explosives and swords, commonly using the plasma sabre that is housed in one of his limbs, this instrument is powered by his own bio-current which seems to be fueled by barely existent mutant powers he's all but lost. He was always geared up and ready for combat, seeing himself as not something human or mutant anymore, his drive was simple destruction of enemies and vengeance. A rebel to the core, he existed from battlefield to battlefield, very much in arms for the cause of mutant-kind.
Now as Captain America he fights for a dream and an ideal, not for vengeance. His weaponry has changed from the use of heavy munitions to the shield and plasma blade on his left forearm. Dressed as his predecessor he uses the man's presence and attitude as a platform for his own, though never losing track of himself or real origins.

Cybernetics & Powers
Jakob's primary power used to be bio-manipulation granting him the power of surging his attributes or controlling his physiology altering it, slowing it, advancing it etc, this no longer exists for him. What does remain in a world of megapowers is barely notice-able, he is now decked out in an array of cybernetic augmentations and attachments that make up for his lack of abilities. His previous bio-manipulative abilities have somewhat fused with the cybernetics. Adapting to them being planted into his body, yet in doing so he lost other functions stunted in power and growth as a mutant human.
Superhuman Endurance & Durability: A combination of his previous mutant abilities combined with the Omnium and Plastic Composites that are laced and armor meshed throughout his body Jakob is highly resilient to injury and near invulnerable to conventional firearms and munitions (Sentinel and most superhuman attacks do not count as conventional, they are something obviously more).
Enhanced Human Agility, Reflexes & Speed : His dexterity, response time, running speed and agility are just a notch beyond what is considered 'peak' human. This has him capable of feats beyond human capability.
Intuitive Anatomical Knowledge : A remaining ability from his past, this allows him to pin-point weaknesses on humanoid anatomy, and through use of his multi-optic eye and downloaded information+experience he can also use this function on Sentinel's as well now.
Bionic Strength: Due to cybernetic components (arms, spine, joints) his strength level is around 10 tons.
Cybernetic Left-Arm (right shoulder,arm,forearm+hand): An omnium/plastic composites based limb that is entirely non-organic sheathed in artificial skin that has mingled with his previous ability to heal, the skin is almost 'real' allowing for 68% tactile sensations still. This arm is detachable, houses a camera in the tips of one finger, a motion sensor and that works up to 20 feet.
Multi-Optic Eye (right side of skull): Macro and telescopic lenses, passive night vision, thermo imaging, light filters and a targeting display. These all function up to around 2,000 feet the target display links up and works in sync with the internal micro computer.
Data Jack & Mini-DSCAL Computer (housed right side of skull): "Data storage combat analysis link up" Computer, it hoses a connector jack built into the back of his skull, allowing him to 'link' up with external computer systems. It also monitors, measures, and transmits fundamental physiological information, it has a few terabytes worth of storage and allows interface options with the rest of his cybernetics, including remote monitoring and control of his arm.
Rebreather Filter & Lung: It possesses a molecular analyzer, toxic filter and oxygen storage cell that can hold up to 30 minutes of air.
Amplified Hearing (right side of skull): Reconstructed cybernetic ear has a system of tiny sound amplifiers, microphones and built in receivers, this enables the ability to hear almost inaudible sounds up to around 300 feet away. There is also an on-board radio receiver connected into it that can scan several frequencies, all dependent on what his internal micro computer is enabling. It also has recorder functions and encrypted transmissions.
Bio-Energy Plasma Projection Sabre and Pulse Blaster (left forearm + hand): This weapon extends from his left forearm (which is entirely mechanical along with the hand) up to a max distance of 5 feet (he rarely if ever extends it that far), it's normal length is around 3 feet. It's highly destructive and controlled by his own bio-current, which seems to stem from what remains of his previous mutant powers (which are also the 'fuel' for his cybernetics overall). He also at times will use this to fire out a condensed short ranged blast that goes up to about 20-30 feet. The energy produced by this is mutant in origin, using Sentinel blaster technology it mixes with it on it's delivery.
Destructive ability-wise the plasma blade can cut through up to high strength steels, concrete, granite, vibranium, and volcanic rock. Alloys un-affected, are such things as diamond and adamantium. This weapon even slices through omnium as proven against a few he has had to use it on.
The pulse blast is significantly weaker, not able to deal out as much damage as the blade itself, failing on vibranium, high strength steel, and omnium grade density.
Many of his cybernetics are salvaged from Sentinels as such composed of omnium.
His sense of touch is only at around 68% where cybernetics exist, where they are heaviest they can be as low as 45%.
Electro-Magnetic-Pulses mess with sensory systems and internal computers, they do not seem to affect function or motor ability of limbs.
His own bio-electric current acts and runs as the fuel source for his artificial parts and accessories, this seems to be on the side of super-charged thanks to his mutant abilities being either dormant or possessing so few function adapting to this would seem next most plausible.
Characteristics
A tall well-muscled man riddled in scars, the right side of his jaw is marred with the crimping of skin that runs in a scar upwards this overlaps plating grafted to his skull under synthetic and real flesh. His eye is a glassy red where as the other is a deep brown. His hair is wild, several beads are weaved through it in places, stubble typically lines his jaw. His hands are both mechanical as well, yet the left ends at the forearm, the right is entirely up past the shoulder and into the chest cavity soon connecting to a re-enforced spine that trails off to joints, hips and bone.
Having changed his attire from the old tattered SHIELD uniforms he has now taken to wearing a costume of the same 9-ply Kevlar to fire-resistant beta cloth. This costume is fashioned after Steve Rogers Captain America outfit, from head to toe it fits Jakob like a glove. The Red, White and Blue is worn proudly on his body and rarely covered up when on the battle-field unless fully necessary. At times customized MTV gear with additional weaponry will also be worn but this is only when a large battle is anticipated (There are still red bands of piping worn on one bicep, denoting his former rank in SHIELD).
Jakob has matured considerably, his sarcastic and broody years gone. Now into a more collected and calm personality, he is brash and outspoken when necessary still but finds it generally a waste of time. Actions speak louder than words. A tactical man whose mind is ever on the next fight. His drive to help the rest of mutant-kind and those around him shines brightly, he takes things as he sees them and can be very pragmatic, sometimes to the point of insensitive and unyielding.The armor he wears goes beyond skin-deep, he finds himself slowly becoming less emotional as time passes, almost forgetting he was once a mutant himself. Some part of him believes that clinging to this crusade to help mutant-kind is what retains his humanity.
After his encounter with the Harbinger Hope his personality took on a major change, he realized he was fighting this war not just to maintain his humanity and battle of his own guilt and shame but also to stand up for what he believed in and for others. Especially those unable to fight back for themselves. He is an extreme patriot, a firm believer in his countries flag and what the nation should stand for, in realizing these things and given a new sense of 'Hope' one could say he has become more the Hero he wanted and never expected to be. It has even aided in his people skills, learning he can not win this war alone. The others, the X-Men and the New Avengers are necessary if the United States is ever to become what it once was again.
Master Martial Artist: Kincaid is a dangerous and highly skilled martial artist. Trained in various forms including traditional Boxing (16 years), Nindokai (10 years effectively Tai jutsu), and Taido (7-8 years) to name a few. He's been instructed in his past by such faces as Domino (his current partner), Laura Kinney (previous sparring partner), Bucky Barnes (one of his idols), Silvereye Agent Hessel (his combat instructor) and even Sam Wilson.
Expert Marksman: A very skilled marksman, he's fired expert more times in qualification in almost so many weapons he can hardly recall, including knife throwing.
Skilled Acrobat: He is peak human in regards to physical conditioning and athletics making him capable of many difficult to impossible acrobatic and tumbling feats.
Covert Operations Specialist: He is an expert in the field of espionage and 'Black Operations', while in the US Army he was a Recon Scout, his time in SHIELD then later as a Mercenary and now a Freedom Fighter has only honed this, his talents extend from simple camouflage, formation, maintenance, to intricate E.O.D., intelligence, disguise, tactics, stealth, survival and even some profiling amongst various other required fields. Years in experience within regards to these drops back 12 years.
Weapon Proficiencies: He is competent in many forms of melee, conventional firearms and unconventional, a heavy weapons qualified expert his range is rather extensive, living into the name Arsenal, even for a while an aid and foreign weapons trainer for SHIELD in advanced weaponry. His tutoring and knowledge into German School of Fencing having instilled into him a great respect and taste for swords. *His training under Bucky and Hessel included some use of a shield but nowhere near to the extent Steve Rogers was capable, as it stands he has redoubled his efforts and is focusing on learning to use it as his primary weapon. This, however, has not stopped him from still using his plasma sword believing in a time of war doing so would be a folly.
Basics in Robotics Technology: He's learned enough to perform maintenance and modify parts on a minor scale. Some very base instruction has been given the rest is all experience to trial and error.

Trivia
*Jakob started out a human supremacist and hated mutants, now he is quite the opposite.
*He only has about 45-68% sense of feeling in all mechanical parts. Which a majority of them are made of omnium, the same metal alloy some Sentinels are made of.
*Was engaged to and possibly had a child with Valerie Toomes (the Vultures daughter, her status is unknown).
*His mutant abilities 'power' his cybernetic attachments on an almost un-noticed level.
*He had a short lived fling with fellow former S.H.I.E.L.D./S.W.O.R.D. Agent Jessica Drew.
*Until recently he Never went by his real name, always referring to himself as Arsenal, if asked would claim Jakob Kindcaid died 2015. Though, he has lightened up on this responding easily to Cap, Captain or Jake.
