This is a good move. They need fresh story lines and it shows Steve Rogers as your superhero who just happens to be black. Good for knocking out the Democrat's ideas of treating minorities as "people apart"

If there was a market for Black superheros, that niche would have been filled long ago. Taking a white superhero and magically changing him into a Black man is nothing more than propaganda.

the surprise element in the story, which hasn’t leaked out yet, is that Falcon will not only become Captain America but also a girl

They did a miniseries in the 1990s about a black soldier who took an earlier version of the super-serum before Steve Rogers did.

Worn out gimmick. Anyone remember when James “Rhody” Rhodes was Iron Man before he was War Machine?

Marvel gas always been partial to Leftist thought - not that the Left can think.

Next thing ya know he’ll be completely destroying America and getting away with it.

What we need is a multicultural Captain America who considers himself a citizen of the world and supports gay marriage instead of fighting arch criminals.

Why not make him a gay, transgendered, black, female, illegal immigrant, muslim?
Why not go for all the liberal’s most important people instead of just one kind?

How about a half-black Ferengi bisexual shyster from Kenya or Indonesia with galactic organizing skills who just thinks he’s a god?

Well not quite. Captain America has had different people playing the role over time. This will jus be another person

I don’t think this particular move is leftist. Rather it seems like a good capitalist move to get interest in an old series by making new story lines

To: catbertz
Yeah, that’s weird. Captain America is a title. Thor is a name. What if it was Mike, God of Thunder? “We have a new female Mike taking up the hammer!”
Unless, of course, Thor is the same person transformed into a girl.
I always figured you create a new black/female character and let them stand on their own two feet. Just giving them someone else’s title is a bit lazy.
Male Thor will be back in time for the next movie. Sam Wilson Cap could theoretically stick around since Sam Wilson was in the last Cap movie.
