Marvel Teases a New Captain America

[Luke Cage]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.

Sam Wilson. Captain America.

Sam Wilson. Captain America.

I'm guessing that Steve is still the much better fighter and strategist. I hope Marvel isn't setting Sam up to fail.

Well, let's see. There is Isaiah X, Eli Bradley, Mockingbird, and Taskmaster who have the skillset and/or Super Soldier/Infinity Serum enhancement to carry them. I like Falcon, but the fit doesn't seem quite right. I could be wrong, and more than likely I am.

[Kurolegacy]

Have they ever done both at the same time?

Almost. In Fear Itself we had Bucky Cap and the shield being broken but not at the same time.

You mean Josiah X.

I don't think the skillset or powers really matter. The skill is hard to determine for one thing. Falcon works for me in that the wings and the shield make for a really cool combo. The strength? Eh, some steroids.

[DebkoX]

I think it wouldn't be right for Bucky to take up the shield again, unless it leads to a permanent new status quo for himself.

[KOSLOX]

I'd like to see FalCap take on Patriot and Nomad as partners.

Fingers crossed to see Immonen drawing Natalia...

That would have to be one manly woman to fit that silhouette. Unless the new Captain America is wearing Guardsman armor. (Speaking of armor, that shield looks mighty small to cover that dude's entire body...or even half of his body.)

[JudicatorPrime]

On a side note, someone should start an art contest: "The new Captain America: What should he/she/it look like?"

Do you guys think #firerickremender caused a delay to the announcement?

[Kuwagaton]

If it's Sam Wilson, then maybe. Stupid as that whole thing is. But I think it's just the rare case of Marvel letting the comics tell the story.

Is that what the started over the "statutory" crap?

[Of Atlantis]

I was kind of hoping it would be Ian, who may or may not be the figure who revealed himself in the last Cap issue.

I guess this will make Falcon somewhat interesting, though another minority in a derivative role rather than an independent one has become tiresome lately.

[Silvermoth]

It would be brilliant to see patriot in the role but the silhouette looks older and bulkier

Bucky worked and her only had a metal arm. He didn't get his Infinity Formula till after he "died". Sam will be fine.
