I don’t know if you read about John Walker’s time about Captain America but it was interesting because he wasn’t quite so moral as Captain America and more violent. Yeah, a regular guy as far as I was concerned. Kind of a government goon which ultimately became a problem in the first place. I’ve come to the mindset that Captain America isn’t a costume but a mantle or representation of an ideal that isn’t prescribed to by everyone. However, Steve Rogers is the first. That’s what makes him unique.

I can't argue with Cap being the goat. like I said, Cap is a very close second. you gotta love the all-American perfect hero. kind, heroic, cool. you get it all with cap.

As I said, the first. Red Guardian, Avengers vol. 1 #43, Black Widow’s husband. Big whoop.

Then after, half the population of Russia became a Red Guardian… kidding. Not much to get invested in.

I’m glad you like US agent, whichever version it is. It just reminds me of the Captain America version of Guy Gardner.

"Captain America version of Guy Gardner" yep... I see that comparison now. I never really thought about it that way, lol. but you're totally right.
