Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum to aid the United States government's efforts in World War II.  He starred in his own Marvel comic book series in 1941, his own movie serial in 1944, and other films and television series.

Korak strives to emulate the heroics of his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

Korak apparently thinks he is too cool to carry identification.  After all, his loincloth has no pockets.  Unfortunately, by leaving his passport at the hotel while going to the clubs with his Waziri friends from home, the carefree son of Tarzan has thoughtlessly given immigration authorities reasonable suspicion to stop him for being an undocumented alien.

Captain America is way under his quota for catching illegal aliens.  However, unlike his Waziri friends, who were carrying their documentation, Korak starts giving attitude about his rights, leaving his identification at the hotel, and being the son of Tarzan and a hero back in Africa.  Deciding that the uppity jungle boy needs to be taught a lesson, the authorities summon Steve Rogers to make an example of the handsome, athletic youth.

The five-picture series "Korak and Captain America by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2020.  Although Korak is a peak human teen-aged jungle boy, he is facing a peak-human adult man.

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  I introduced Captain America as a potential antagonist due to the current state of immigration policy.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
