    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11750 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.

    Is MCU Captain America the best Cap outside the comics?

    No. EMH Cap is.

    As much as I love Evans, he still has yet to say anything truly inspirational that makes me think "THAT'S Captain America" he has yet to show any leadership skills strong enough to make me say "HE should be leading the Avengers!"

    Meanwhile, EMH Cap is perfection. Strong willed, determined, firm, yet also caring. He's what I hope Evans one day becomes.

    Yes I think MCU Cap is pretty much the ideal Captain America outside of 616 Cap.

    I would say so. And while he isn't quite the leader his comic counterpart is, he is definitely getting there.

    Yes, he is the best, most human version.

    EMH is cool but not nearly as interesting in terms of the characterisation.

    I loved the EMH verse but EMH Cap was one of my least favorite Avengers. He's not comparable to his MCU counterpart IMO.

    @ganon15: He never seemed interesting to me. He wasn't terrible, just not very good IMPO. I think as a character Cap is kinda hard to adapt and make seem interesting. But somehow the Russo's did it.

    Do you find any EMH character to be better than their MCU counterpart?

    @ganon15: I think Thor, Hulk, Black Panther and Fury are at least close. I'd say Wasp is outright better. There are probably more I'm forgetting.
