“Listen to me– all of you out there! You were told by this man– your hero– that America is the greatest country in the world! He told you that Americans were the greatest people– that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on about how precious America was – how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America!
“Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals– its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash! A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth! I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different than them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn American into nothing! And the only reason you’re not less then nothing– is that it’s still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!”
This is the Steve Rogers I’d actually WANT to read a story about
When people ask me why I love the Captain.
There are two types of Captain America writer
There are the “Captain America is a backwards, “Old Fashioned” fascist prick who is a mindlessly patriotic flag waver baffled and confused by the modern day and yearning for the “Good Old Days”
And then there are the writers who ACTUALLY GET THE CHARACTER
The above panels are an example of the latter
Steve Rogers is a progressive liberal hero who is loyal to FREEDOM…from persecution, from fear, from oppression…and to justice for all people, regardless of where they come from
Hopefully we can get this Captain America back after that ridiculous Hydra Cap/Secret Empire storyline comes to an end.
a fanmix for Lorna Dane aka Polaris from the X-Men. The mistress of magnetism: mutant princess, sometime superheroine, and occasional
supervillain. Per her bosses at X-Factor, “inordinately provocative
and conducive to moral subversion.”
