Robert "Rebel" Ralston is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is known for appearing in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.
Rebel Ralston first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 (May 1963) and was created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Dick Ayers.
Robert "Rebel" Ralston is a native of Kentucky and a founding member of the original Howling Commandos led by Nick Fury. Rebel Ralston fought alongside the team during World War II. Ralston was an accomplished horseman and was skilled with a lasso. He was also the "creator" of the Howlers battle cry "Wahoo!". Mr. Ralston and Mrs. Ralston were seen.
After the war, he was one of the founding members of the V-Battalion and the Penance Council. He was later elected Senator of Texas, apparently with clandestine help from the V-Battalion. He rejoined his old comrades in the Howling Commandos to battle a Baron Strucker robot. The Commandos and Captain America stopped the Strucker robot but the Howling Commandos' superior Captain Sam Sawyer was killed. He survived an assassination attempt while co-chairing the Senate Defense Committee. He has worked closely with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Commission on Superhuman Activities.
When Fury was seemingly killed by Punisher, Ralston and Iron Man advised the President not to attend the funeral in the event that the supervillains attack it.
