The man who was the original Captain America is Dead.
But Bucky will take the costume.
So the man is dead, but the ideal lives on.
The NEW Cap carries a Gun.
The REAL Cap was manly and skilled enough not to need one: his physical combat prowess, superhuman strength, and shield were sufficient. . .
Superheroes don’t need guns, that’s why they’re SUPERheroes. . .
But the retrocontinuity of Marvel now has it that Captain America was NOT the first to drink the “super soldier” formula. It was put forth in a recent series that he was the first “white guy” to get the perfected formula after it’d been tested in poor black men.
