During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.
LOL! Seriously though that was great!! Really captured Cap well in yours I must say. I was going for more of a "Captain America Through the Ages" kinda thing. So anyway, what'd you think of mine?
@Smart_Dork_Dude: An inspiring and uplifting piece. Perfectly displays Captain America's iconography and the various changes through the ages. It would have been even cooler with a brief display of the various people who temporarily held the title while Steve was on ice, such as Isaiah Bradley and the USAgent. But I fear I absolutely must subtract points from your total for not including THIS picture.
Just kidding, very well done. And I sincerely apologize if the above image caused spontaneous projectile vomiting.
@JonSmith: Thanks!! As far as showing who "wielded the shield" during Steve's stay in the arctic, this was a tribute to Steve himself. His time during WWII to him today as Captain America, which is why I didn't use any pics of him when he was in his Super-Soldier costume. I view Captain America as a mantle character, which he really is given how many have held it, just as I do with Spider-Man. An identity that, while not many can take on, there are quite a few that can certainly honor the legacy and make it there own. As such I might do a "Captain America Through the Ages" video at some point, show casing not just Steve, but Isiah Bradly, that 50's era Cap who's name escapes me, Bucky, etc.
And JUST when I thought I had repressed that image!!!
