    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11747 issues.

    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.

    Captain America... Bucky?!?

    While I realize that Bucky has been Captain America for almost a year now I feel I need to contribute my two cents on the matter.
    For me Bucky is the sidekick. He's THE sidekick but sidekick is the operative word. He's not as fast, strong or smart as Steve (Rogers). While I like the idea of Steve Rogers Agent of SHIELD - hell yeah - I just can't stomach Bucky as the leader of the Avengers, Steve as the leader of the Secret Avengers. I think it should be reversed:
    Bucky leads the Secret Avengers (in keeping with his time as the Winter Soldier) and Rogers leads the regular avengers as he has done for decades.
    What do YOU think???

    I agree completely. Bucky runs around with a gun. that's his superpower: he shoots people. that's not who Captain america is. You might as well have Batman run around with a sniper rifle head-shotting muggers, or wolverine taking up a whip as his new weapon. I am really bothered by it, too.

    I don't have a problem with Bucky carrying a gun as Captain America. If you have read any of the Captain America issues since he took up the shield he hasn't gone on a shooting rampage. Plus Steve is much faster and stronger than Bucky.
    To compensate he uses a gun, it works. He doesn't stroke his gun or relish killing his foes but he does what is necessary, nothing more.
