I thought Walker had already taken the serum and that he had taken a second dosage of the serum during the flagsmasher assault scene

Nah lol the Army doesn't have the serum If nothing else this show is really owning the Pentagon, portraying them as a bunch of thumb-up-their-ass losers who haven't actually invented anything in generations and are just cannibalizing their old greatest hits

The character Will Simpson on Jessica Jones was based on, Nuke, was even clearly a knockoff of Super-Patriot/US Agent when he first appeared in the comics Like they already did this whole thing with the toxic masculinity roid rage stuff on another show

Hold on there! Nuke predates John Walker by a whole two months! (which is admittedly a lost less than I'd thought)
