Apparently, the new guy doesn't smile. Or maybe he's dealing with hemorrhoids. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

The new guy may still be PO'ed over Steve Rogers getting killed. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I really do not follow this muhc, but the main thing I noticed was that the new CA had a Gun. Did the old one carry?

 

[docm]

No, and there is speculation that the new CA is Punisher. This would explain the guns, combat knife and 'utility' belt.<br /><br />In the "Civil War" series Steve Rogers was killed by a Red Skull assassin and Punisher took his headgear. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[etavaunt]

He also took the assassins headgear. Umm, no, just the HEAD!.<br /><br />Captain America without the NAME he carried, would have been a truly lame character. Standing up for something counts more than what you bring to the fight?.

Several people have used the Captain America identity. <br /><br />Link.... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

<i>"...The character's death came as a blow to co-creator Joe Simon, who said, "It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now."</i><br /><br />When I heard Cap's death announced on the radio, I got a lump in my throat and thought the same thing. We could really use him now. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>
