-- Sam: the person who completely embodies the heroism and ideals of the fallen hero, but is a regular human with tech not necessarily looking to take the hero's place --> Steel
-- Bucky: The one who might seem like an ideal successor because of their power and ties to the fallen hero's past, but ... is a bit dark and dangerous --> Eradicator
-- Walker: The one who has the look, quickly gains the accolades, but has none of the morality. Might actually end up being the complete opposite of the fallen hero --> Cyborg Superman
And of course the man who objects to everything the fallen hero was and represents. Justifies his actions as being for the benefit of mankind: Zemo --> Luthor
