Character Study: What does Captain America Bring to the Team?

Besides proving himself one of the best soldiers the United States and their Allies had in the second great war, Steve Rodgers, aka Captain America, has become the anchor to the greatest team of super-powered Avengers in the Marvel Universe. In present day lore, he is considered to be a founding member of the Avengers (despite originally written as being thawed out by an already assembled Avengers in the 1960s). Despite that, let's look at what Captain America could possibly bring to an Avengers team. I'm not a sociologist, but I'll give it a try. Since being branded in the movie universe as the first hero, he instantly has the developed credibility of veteran experience. He's been there and done that! He's even been a part of another eclectic team, according to movie and comic book lore, during world war 2. The Howling Commandos, though not having any super powers, were a mush-mash soldier team put together by situation and necessity. The movies don't revea...

Character Profile: Captain America

The dynamic of Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, as an icon is that his greatest strength didn't come from 1940's science fiction. Even before Steve Rogers was a soldier just looking for a way in to the American military, he had the heart and the idealism of a true hero.

Steve's nobility is what makes him likable.

He is revered as a hero to his fellow soldiers, but to his teammates in present day, he's unable to connect or relate to those around him because they didn't grow up in his generation. Captain America can get incredibly lonely. In literature, Steve R...

Patriotic Pairing: The Super-Powered Couple as It Should Be

It was a long time ago that I was first inspired by the possibilities to create a story script based on my favorite YouTube channel. He was mixing and matching the Marvel and DC universe and formed one of the greatest pairings in Harley Quinn and Green Goblin. It inspired me to start writing again on my own and hopefully become just as good as that person. Thus became the unpublished spin-off series that developed in my imagination and daydreams. I researched my pairing in popular fan-fiction websites as well as Google searching to see if anyone else in the fan fiction writing community had similar inspiration. I only saw a few mash up pictures, a YouTube video that mashed up the Lynda Carter and Matt Salinger roles , and quite a number of cosplay pictures. This unique pairing would only have to come from the fan fiction community - as both characters are owned by rival publishing companies. Captain America and Wonder Woman. I've studied relationships for a very long time and h...
