Apparently, Marvel has decided to kill off Captain America.
He wasn't the most popular super-hero of our generation. In fact, he had a hard time re-adjusting to the changes in American culture after almost 20 years in suspended animation. The Vietnam era Cappy was quite the bitter dude. But he fought on, believing in American values even though our way of life constantly changed around him.
He will be assassinated by a sniper. One man, one bullet. What a disappointing symbolic statement about American strength in our current day and age. But it certainly hits home for some of us.
