8 . Captain America had his own cargo religious cult
In the decades between World War II and present day , Captain America whiled away the hours trapped in Arctic ice . Cap ’s suspended animation made into his 2011 movie , but the film also left out a incredibly vacuous detail from Marvel Comics canon — Captain America ’s frostbitten eubstance was idolize by bored Inuits .
Yes , instead of contact absolutely anybody that they discovered a dead extremity of Mummenschanz , this biotic community of Inuits worship Steve Rogers ’ body like someJohn Frumin a pervert suit of clothes .
They never got around to breaking his carapace into communion wafer because Namor the Sub - Mariner showed up and acted like a dick for no exceptional ground , as has been his elementary character motivation for the preceding seventy - something class .
apropos , this storylineis still kicking around today . I ’m honestly storm the notion of people venerating superheroes is n’t widespread throughout mirthful book universes . I desire to hero-worship at the First Parish of Wolverine , where the devout crapulence Molson until they bury their past selves .

3 . Captain America ’s shield has unfortunate level-headed effects

Marvel Comics has never gone on the book if this was A. ) a one - metre phenomenon ; or B. ) simply one of vibranium ’s lesser know elemental holding .
2 . Captain America dresses as a Golden Girl to nobble behind enemy lines
The first issuance of Captain America Comics is renowned for its famous covert of the superhero punching Hitler in the visage . The second issue is considerably less heralded forits plot of ground about Captain America masquerading as a nanna around Nazi Germany . writer really missed out on an opportunity to make Cap ’s geriatric disguise a key signature accoutrement he hold open on his utility belted ammunition .

More Captain America in the underworld . I revel the implication that Captain America lounges in his living room in a full costume .
Yes , this period was basically the Captain America equivalent of all of those timesSuperman pretended to be mentally illand madeLois morbidly corpulent . Note that a child head-shrinker was consulted for this “ story of teeny males . ”
Remember when Superman smoked a twelve cigars at the same fourth dimension ?
