Number 2 is Prodigy.
Prodigy is the name used by three fictional characters in the Marvel Universe. The first Prodigy was Spider-Man in disguise, the second has superhuman physical abilities, and the third was a mutant with a superhuman intellect.

Yeah but you hadn't mentioned that there were 3 of em... I understood that it wasn't the first one (Spidey), but I just wanted to clarify.
Another question... was the Black Knight on Cap's side? What about Sersi?
...and what the heck was that Jewish heroine's name? Selena?

Well I'd asked in a previous posting about the entire line-up in that same picture myself, although with slightly different questions. Although there were four identities Spider-man had during that brief period, not three. I can't remember the names of them all but Prodigy and Stinger were two of them, and at one point just to be nuts they had him pretend to be all four at the same time during a super-powered conflict, rapidly shifting costumes to make it appear like they had to be four distinct characters. Later after using that to test reader responses they brought out the four kids empowered with all the powers and identities Spider-man created as part of a devious demonic plot by Mephisto at the behest of a WWII era super-hero lusting after his lost glory and wanting to mentor a new group of heroes.

Sabra is the most well known as a jewish Superhero (the Thing is the most well known but almost no one knows he's jewish), and I hadn't known there was a third Prodigy, and I think Black Knight escaped choosing sides by being in England with Excalibur, and I haven't seen anything aboug Sersi in a LONG time but given that Eternals tend to focus on staying uninvolved in human affairs and focus on the Deviants I think the SRA likely doesn't mess with them, plus it's risky trying to enslave them anyway.

Hmmmmm, that is similar, although wouldn't be the first time an artist included a character that was later placed squarely by continuity outside the area where he was shown in a cameo. One of the biggest was showing the Silver Surfer attending the death of the original Captain Mar-Vell, when he was trapped on earth at the time.
They eventually did a retcon to explain that as being a hidden Super-Skrull agent configured to look like the Silver Surfer who attended (or an alternative form that is as he originally looked like Devil Slayer but as he surprisingly enough actually attended the skrull had to take a form that couldn't have been there and simply lied that Galactus gave him a short reprieve to attend).

1 Lectronn
2 Prodigy
3 Gladiatrix
4 Coldblood 7
5 Network
Thanks all for the help! :)
Man... none of those guys have stats... I checked this site, Ty's site and Ben's site. Nothing... :(

During the Eternals Limited by Neil Gaiman and JR jr, Sersi was approached by Iron Man to be inducted into the SRA, but the Eternals at thyat point seemed to have some sort of amnesiatic something-or-other happening, so they didn't quite remember who they actually were so SWersi just kind of blew him off as a crack pot.
I didn't finish that limited series though, so I don't know how everything panned out.

In England exploring a mystery around the Ebony Sword, as his brief time in the past with the rest of Excalibur where he met one of the previous Black Knights he ended up with the confusing belief after touching that blade that the blade he has is not the Ebony Blade, yet it must be. So he's trying to work out how there could somehow be two blades when there must be one (apparently he's forgotten that his extradimensional counterpart Proctor brought his own blade to the Earth-616 continuity, so could easily be that blade or another blade from another continuity if what he holds isn't the blade from the 616 continuity).

Well he's in another country and since I doubt he has to come to the US to explore his mystery I doubt it bothers him. I don't know if he'd register or not but he has no secret identity to hide and as long as he didn't do anything super-heroic inside the US he's not legally required to register or serve (although not like those handling the SRA have been bothering much with either the law or what's moral).
