Captain America has led the good fight, inspiring the U.S. military for generations. Bringing together young and old veterans, and the families who know the struggle of war, his red, white, and blue costume is more than fabric and molded leather. He is a symbol of freedom and the American way. Created as an American icon in the World War II era, he remains a symbol of patriotism. In order to create your own version of “Cap” you need to decide the media you want to focus on. Reimagined in the latest box office hit Marvels Avengers franchise, this hero went from bring colored spandex, to complete tough guy and a leather clad mountain of good ol’ American muscle. Nothings more American than America.
The Avenger’s version is a little more complicated, but much more fun.
