Captain America is all right. I appreciate him as an icon and as an important figure in Marvel history, but he just never interested me. Because of this, it's highly possible I'm judging a very good book by its cover; I just don't see much of an appeal in a WWII military supersoldier who fights Nazis, gets frozen in suspended animation for a few decades, then is brought back for some reason where he continues to fight the Bad Dudes With Bad 'Tudes.

I don't see the personal motivation above, "I want to overcome my weakness" - which I believe he's proven time and again.

If there's a series that takes an in-depth look at Captain America as a person, I'd love to hear about it. I'm willing to try new things out and have my perceptions changed.

Also the whole "cryogenic freezing" thing seems a bit confusing - he was frozen then thawed, then frozen and thawed again? Or is this a case of retconning when he's thawed? Either way, is there anything that explores what he goes through with the whole time-skip drama? It's a commonly-done theme, but I like seeing how different authors interpret it.

It's starts out like an amazing cross between Superman and Dragonball Z. So good.

I love how it does a real spin on superhero morality.

So what sorts of awesome hero stuff should we see here and yes MC Riders will count.

So the newest DC animated movie I heard was pretty good all about Batmans plan if the heros go rogue getting taken, has anyone seen it? Opinions?

Hes had those plans for decades. My favorite is Plastic Man which boils down to: Freeze him, shatter him, spread the pieces across the ocean floor and pray.

Every Iron man plot arc:
1. Get smart person angry because of
a. your father
b. being tony stark
2. lose fight because goofing off/underestimating opponent
3. build suit specifically to beat evil guy
4. win overall
5. repeat

Speaking of the Hulk, one of my favorite superhero comic series has to be Old Man Logan.

Image

If you're interesting in seeing a take on what would happen if the supervillains won, it's definitely worth picking up. Practically every superhero is dead, and those that are still around have had to adapt to a world where they're nothing but dirt. North America has been divided amongst the leading supervillains, and the people just try and survive under their rule.

Image

Wolverine has settled down with a family in California - or Hulk Territory. Wife, kids, farmer's life. When the Hulk's inbred offspring (yeeaah...) come around to collect taxes that Logan can't afford, he's forced to partner with Hawkeye who promises Logan good cheddar if he helps him with a job.

It is a Mark Millar story, so it's pretty gruesome at points. Hopefully you don't mind seeing some of your favorite superheroes die in really humiliating ways! Honestly the reason I picked it up was because I loved the artwork and design of old man Logan and old man Hawkeye. It's a decent story, though, and I ended up buying the collected volume.

P.S. Hawkeye's the best the best the best

Roosevelt always had a few health problems, and assuming that it's hand-to-hand (Which I assume because otherwise Putin would have a technological advantage.), Putin would have an advantage thanks to years of training in martial arts.
That's my view on it, at least.

Wordsmith left quite a bit out.

Roosevelt also had a black belt in Jujutsu. And who can forgot this gem from the Cracked article?

Quote:
In 1898, Roosevelt formed the first U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, known as the Rough Riders. Most people already know of the Rough Riders and their historic charge up San Juan Hill, but few know that, since their horses had to be left behind, the Riders made this charge entirely on foot.

Badass.

TheOtherMC wrote:
Other part to that speech story is after finishing it he tracked down his attacker and sent them the bullet.

Actually, Roosevelt refused to have the bullet removed at all. He succeeded to the Presidency when McKinley was shot, and it was believed (and is most likely true) that McKinley died only because of the infection received after removing the bullet from his body. When Roosevelt learned that the bullet in his own chest was not life-threatening, he decided against any surgery to remove it.

Seriously though, Teddy was a boss. The man was next to invincible in his prime. Not to mention he had the gall to parade his military might around the world with a naval fleet. Also he help build the panama canal, and lived. Not to mention the rough riders which were a bad booty rag tag cavalry.








But iron man is soooooooo cool

I haven't read it either so I can't say for sure, but I'd guess that they're a lot more well known so would be much more highly targeted
