CSIS Agent: Captain Canuck
This version of the Captain was designed by Christian Comely. Christian is the son of Richard Comely, creator of the original Captain Canuck.
Christian was reimagining the Captain and the supporting cast throughout 2012 but put an end to it when the Chapterhouse (now Lev Gleason Publications) version began appearing. A Facebook post from June of that year gives us an idea as to what he had planned.

However due to the high mortality rate the project was shut down. Shortly after project leader Raymond Thomson disappeared.Within 12 hours of the start of The Captain Canuck Initiative, patient Evan Thomson has also disappeared without a trace…
As the cover below announces, this was intended to be a four-issue limited series featuring the Darren Oak version of the character first seen in Captain Canuck Reborn (see below).

(New Original Captain Canuck) was a limited edition mini-comic published in three version (sic) by Matrix Comics, 1999-2001
Writer: Mark Shainblum
Artists: Sandy Carruthers and Jeff Alward
Based on Captain Canuck created by Richard Comely, used with permission.
The Captain's uniform is now worn by one Darren Oak. Oak is building an exclusive community in the north while raising a hearing-impaired boy.
Oak uses the suit, said to be inspired from a comic book, to anonymously make the public aware of a conspiracy to take over the Canadian government through a civil war and acts of terrorism. His brother, Nathan, is involved in the conspiracy.
