\nCaptain America has always had a special place in my heart as a comics fan.<\/strong>
\n 
\nThe fact he wasn’t superhuman ( despite clearly Olympic-level enhancements ) always sparked my interest in human potential expressed in fiction, alongside\u00a0fellow icons Doc Savage and Batman.<\/strong>
\n 
\nCap made patriotism look cool instead of corny. My formative years included images of Watergate; protests and flag burning.<\/strong>
\n 
\nCaptain America was a welcome alternative. Like my late grandfather who raised me he actively pursued good citizenship instead of merely discussing it.<\/strong>
\n 
\nThe 2011 movie captures his Old School spirit which is much needed as economic fear tightens nationwide.<\/strong>
\n 
\nHis transformation from scrawny kind to brawny commando demonstrates our ability to literally become whomever we consistently try to be.<\/strong>
\n 
\nThe comic book legend was recently upgraded to acknowledge the role of Black men in defeating the Axis. <\/strong>
\n 
\nThe first Captain America was Black http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isaiah_Bradley<\/a>\u00a0in this retelling; a nod of the cowl to otherwise unknown soldiers like my late grand uncle Harold who was wounded\u00a0in 1944’s\u00a0Normandy Invasion, code named ” Operation Overlord ” by the Allies.<\/strong>
\n 
\nCaptain America’s story is every American’s story: idealism despite crushing poverty; determination despite impossible odds. He cuts away every possible point of division by\u00a0embodying ” E Pluribus Unum ( Out of Many One ) ” in a way that inspires skeptic and supporter alike.<\/strong>
