"Eyes up! Stay sharp!"

- River Johansen

River Johansen is a member of the Starco Avengers. He is the stand-in for Captain America in the EBA Edited Universe.

In the EBAEU
River is first introduced in the War for Starco. He arrives along with Moon Butterfly and Baby to save Pony Head and Seahorse from the Children of Daron. After the villains retreat, the heroes take Pony Head to Eclipsa Butterfly's kingdom. Daron Nefcy sends her faceless army after them, so River and the other heroes charge into battle. The battle almost ends in disaster, but then Adam McArthur arrives with  Star Butterfly and  Marco Diaz to turn the tide of the battle.

They manage to hold off and virtually defeat the faceless army, but then Daron arrives. River is the first to charge into the battle, but Daron uses the Book of Spells to brush him aside. One by one the heroes fall, but before Daron can get to Pony and Seahorse, River gets back up and desperately tries to hold the villain back. Daron is surprised how long River is able to keep the upper hand, but a strong punch knocks him unconscious. When he wakes up, River finds Daron nowhere to be seen. She has already snapped her fingers. River watches in horror as Eagle Builder fades away first, followed by half of the heroes in the area. River checks on Pony Head but without her Horn she was gone. River sits on the ground in shock with the realization that they lost.

He is currently with the surviving Starco Avengers on Earth. He knows they failed but he's ready to jump on any opportunity that presents itself so they can fix this mess. His fate will be revealed in Daron's Endgame.
