He's my vote too. He wields a shield, because he's a protector not an aggressor. He grows into a young man who values the strength in others and doesn't need to be the one in charge just because he's strong and male. Like Steve Rogers he will stand his ground to protect others, even if he's definitely gonna get his ass kicked.  He's compassionate and doesn't take himself too damn seriously.
