Skald_the_Rhymer:
Not quite. Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, got frozen in a block of ice. But Captain America is a role , not an identity; it was created by the American government for both strategic and propagandistic purposes. When Rogers disappeared, the government appointed several successors during the late 40s and early 50s, as was obviously its prerogative. Clearly there hadn’t been one for several years before the FF came onto the scene, but there had nonetheless but others.
The Dread Pirate Rogers? :o
The New and Improved Superman:
[Captain America], as well as all the early Avengers (with the exception perhaps of Thor) ought to be pushing 70!
Over 70, I’d say, except for the Wasp, who was not that much older than Spider-Man and the X-Men when the team started–18 or 19, I’d say. Stark & Pym were both at least in their mid-thirties or maybe even early 40s.
You know how I feel about puns, Bishop. The usual feckless threats.

There, now your threats aren’t feckless any more ;).
