Who is Captain America? http://bit.ly/34jklP
CAPTAIN AMERICA RETURNS?
In the wake of mass hysteria following the unprecedented alien attack on New York City, the public remains ignorant of the identity of “Captain America.” Spotted alongside established and controversial public figures such as Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, and Doctor Bruce Banner, the unidentified man is said to hold a remarkable resemblance to the hero of the 1940’s, despite this impossibility. Officially declared killed in action during 1945, the original Captain America Steve Rogers died after purposely crashing a plane into the Arctic in order to prevent the destruction of New York at the hands of Nazi extremists. He is remembered as an iconic American hero, identified as one of the images of World War II propaganda that continued to exist throughout the tumultuous period during the Cold War in the late 20th Century. As such, the circumstances which led to Cap's apparent "resurrection" are questionable, particularly concerning the alien foes that ravaged the city of New York only several days ago, leading some to believe that the entire situation is in fact a conspiracy, and that government agencies fabricated the so called "Chitauri" in order to revitalize the Captain America franchise.
Public speculation has reached the point wherein there have been a series of investigations into information regarding the original Captain America, and whether illegal experimentation or even cloning allowed for the creation of fake heroes, designed to promote the ideal American way.
Thus, there has been considerable speculation concerning the actual identity of this unknown hero, with theories spanning from aliens to cloning to child experimentation. Stark and all other members of the vigilante group now formally known as the “Avengers Initiative” cohort have declined to comment on the man’s identity. So, the question remains who is Captain America? And who would be considered worthy to wear his cowl?

10:12 AM, May 9th, 2012
ABC Reporter: Mr Stark, concerning the Avengers Initiative you have already identified yourself and Dr Bruce Banner as participants in the battle in New York. Would you please identify the other four members?
Stark:(laughs) Sorry, Miss Reinhart, but as of right now, I am the one and only public face of the Avengers, and if you don’t to hear anything about me, then you’re gonna have to wait until my colleagues decide to go public.
ABC Reporter: Well, even though you’re refusing to comment there are testimonies identifying a masked man wearing a similar costume to that of Captain America from the 1940s. Do you consider this slander against an American icon?
Stark: I’m refusing to comment on heresy concerning members of my team. If you have an issue with a guy wearing red, white and blue while he saved your ass against an alien invasion, that’s your problem. Do I think it’s slander? No, and I’m not going to tell you why. At this point in time, I am not going to actively give information on people who, at this point, would rather remain out of the public eye.
Fox Reporter: But Mr Stark, could you comment on the politics of Captain America? Why bring him back now, rather than during the socially tumultuous period throughout the Cold War?
Stark:(loudly) I am not answering any more questions about Captain America, and who he may or may not be. If anyone has any more comments about whether he’s an alien, or a zombie, or f*ck knows what else, they can keep it in their piehole, okay?
Fox Reporter: Very well. Mr Stark, do you know what diet the Black Widow uses so she can fit into her costume?

CAPTAIN AMERICA REVEALED?
Written by Nikita Tam@nikkitam at 8:50 PM, Friday 25th May, 2012
There has been an extended period of silence following the apparent reveal of ‘Captain America’ during the invasion of New York, where both members of the Avengers and military personnel have refused to identify or even comment on the mysterious man who participated in the evacuation of citizens throughout the firefight. Next to nothing is known about him, with the exclusion of several blurry images caught on camera phones by people running from the carnage, though this has been enough to draw a comparison between this man and Steve Rogers from 1944.
In fact, maybe a little too much of a comparison: based on some public facial recognition, it is clear that there is an incredible likeness between the two men, leading some to speculate that the Security Homeland Intelligence and Logistics Division (SHIELD) which has been public in its involvement in the Avengers Initiative, is in fact responsible for cloning the original Steve Rogers. If that isn’t weird enough for you, further investigation by The Daily Bugle and Christine Everhart has revealed that there are no previous records of any person that matches the appearance of this man. We currently live in a time of aliens and Norse Gods who carry hammers the size of my head, so I’m choosing to believe that this person, this Cap2 if you will, could in fact be the original, caught out of his time. If you put this into consideration, we could be looking at one of the last living relics of a century past, which would allow for a unique understanding of the 1930's and 40's to be realized, possibly prompting social change. If he isn't, well, damn son, have you seen this guy? A waist to shoulder ratio that defies gravity, and a chiseled jaw to boot.
Despite this confusion concerning Captain America, two other members have been identified as SHIELD agents, formally known as the Black Widow and Hawkeye. And that’s right, ladies, there’s a badass gun-toting woman to be found in the testosterone fueled madness, when both the Widow and Hawkeye were spotted earlier this week entering Stark Tower. Through observation, it is now widely believed that they are living there under Stark’s protection, even though there still hasn’t been any sign of our mysterious hero. What does this mean? Either he doesn't go outside a lot or he’s not living in Stark Tower at all, and the military have put him back in his freezer until he’s needed again. Well, stranger things have happened.

so i live in the really quiet part of brooklyn, right? not a whole lot happens. TOTALLY separate from the alien invasion, so my neighbourhood has been pretty untouched throughout the whole shitstorm.
ANYWAY, one day im walking down the street and minding my own business WHEN OUT OF NOWWHERE this tall, blond guy with a duffle bag accidently bumps into me and man is he gorgeous
and he’s like: “oh, im so sorry!”
and with his accent i can tell he’s from brooklyn. it’s like an australian accent: its poison and its with you forever
and i say: “oh dude, it’s fine”
but he looks really guilty but also super sad like holy shit this guy is the most depressed looking motherfucker ive ever seen in my entire life. not even like visibly upset, but some of you guys know that my older sister has clinical depression, and this guy has the same sort of heaviness and exhaustion around him.
so i give him my coffee, cause i didnt know what else to do, and he smiles at me. but it looks painful, and i winced, cause no exaggeration this guy looks like he hasnt smiled in years.
but then this sleek, and i mean SLEEK car pulls up, and he nods at me and climbs in and then the car pulls off.
and i mean, i don’t know who he was, but if i had to guess he was probs a vet, but i really hope he’s getting help. tbh, he looked like he hadn’t really come home

CAPTAIN AMERICA TO MAKE FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE
Written by Thomas Yakovson@thom_yakov at 9:14 AM, Monday 2nd April, 2012
After a month of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Captain America (or the person currently pretending to be Captain America) will appear on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Wednesday night. Though his actual identity and origin have remained a mystery, a representative from Stark Industries and the Avengers Initiative recently released a statement concerning the public appearance of this unknown person:
Captain America has remained private to this point, but will engage in conversation publicly on Wednesday night. It is not determined that he will participate further after this point.
If you want my opinion, I’d say that whoever this Cap is is purposely hiding from the spotlight until he decides what he’s going to say, and a left wing comedy show like TDS for some reason seemed like the best choice. Why? Who knows. Maybe because Stewart won’t ask him the harder hitting questions you’d expect from Fox or CNN, so that this Cap person, whoever he is, can maintain this facade.

The Hero We Needed?
Written by Carol Starling@carolatlarge at 11:55 PM, Wednesday 4th April, 2012
After an extended period of silence, Captain America finally addressed the public during at exclusive interview with Jon Stewart on tonight’s The Daily Show. Though rumors have been widespread in both their ridiculousness and their intensity, very few could possibly threaten the truth: that Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, survived the plane crash and remained in cryogenic suspension for seventy years.
Almost impossible to believe and even harder to understand, the Captain America that addressed the American public last night was far from the bright, colorful figure decorating every middle school classroom from Florida to Michigan. Instead, he was in military uniform, medals shining on his chest, and looking drawn out, as though he’d run a hundred miles before being told he had to keep going. This outcome has been jarring to both the media and public at large, with many choosing to analyse the interview for signs of prolonged mental disorders as a result of Cap’s status as a military commander, while others have simply called foul and refused to believe any of it. Regardless of what you choose to accept as the truth, here is a partial transcript, for those who didn’t manage to catch the show.
Stewart: Well, I’d be lying if I said that this wasn’t an honor, Cap.
Rogers: Thank you, Mr Stewart. And I’d be lying if I said that I completely believed that this was real.
Stewart: What in particular isn’t real? I understand that this must have been a major transition for you, particularly considering your long stint in the freezer. (Audience laughs) But in all seriousness, how are you? The culture shock alone must have been beyond jarring, and I can’t imagine what it must be like for you.
Rogers:(pause) Honestly, it’s kind of hard to describe. (Pause) It’s been very… interesting. When I woke up, I sort of went straight into action.
Stewart: Because of the aliens?
Rogers:(Laughs) Right, because of the aliens. And then after that, everyone wanted to know who I was, and what I was doing. It became exhausting very quickly. I guess… I didn’t feel real for a long time. Everything felt slightly distorted and out of place, like the whole world had changed and I was stuck in exactly the same placed that I’d always been.
Stewart:(Pause) That sounds horrible.
Rogers: I guess it was. I think that people are expecting me to be this very… upbeat person, maybe. A very colorful man, who wears a bright suit and sells war bonds. Like the old USO films, if you’ve ever seen them.
Stewart: I think those USO films are responsible for the sexual awakening of maybe fifty percent of America. (Audience laughs)
Rogers: Right, except for everyone, it’s been seventy years, and the war is over, and the economy as rebuilt itself-
Stewart: Well, that’s questionable. (Audience laughs)
Rogers:(Laughs) Probably, but for me, I’ve only just woken up. For me, the war only ended a month ago, and now all my… (pause) all my friends are gone or dead, even though a month ago I was with them. The world fills a lot bigger, and a lot smaller, all at once, you know?
Stewart: No, I don’t. And I’m sorry to say this, Cap, but I’m glad to say that I don’t understand it at all.
Even if you’re of the disposition to not believe in this Cap, you should at least have the empathy to try and relate to what this guy’s saying that he’s going through.

Okay, so I know that after the tds interview with Cap, everyone has been super excited, because yeah, a dead living legend pretty much just came back to life. BUT, and I say but because this is actually really important, you have to consider his feelings. And yeah, I hate fandom wank as much as the next person, but in the wake of all this where's cap bs we really need to talk about a few things.
- Cap is an actual person. Or more specifically, an actual person who is, at this moment in time, clearly grieving. Yeah, we all know how much you want to go up to him and say hi, or say how much of a fan you were, or ask if he and Bucky Barnes screwed back in the day. Yeah, well, don't. He has as much of a right to privary as anyone else, and going out of your way to harass him about things that he's probably still coming to terms with is absolutely not okay under any circumstances.
- Yes, I know that by this point people are getting annoyed at me, and saying "but erin, you can't just tell the fandom what to do!!1!! if I want to ask him about his PTSD and possibly trigger a panic attack I have that right!!!1! You also have the right to stuff your head into a paper bag, random irritating tumblr user, but you're clearly not doing that any more than you're respecting Cap's feelings. It's true, a lot of the speculation about whether or not Cap is actually suffering from depression or PTSD is touch and go, but even if it is, going up to someone who has survived military situations and also probably watched a lot of people die is also not ok. He's an icon, we all know, but asking him about how he felt when Bucky died, or that Jaques Dernier only died a week before he "woke up" is super fucked up and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
I hate being the person policing the fandom, but since a lot of the stuff in the cap fandom counts as RPF, everyone has to keep in mind that what they're doing concerns actual people. I'm not saying that you can't cosplay, or write fic, or do any of the stuff that you were doing before, but ffs don't search out cap and approach him with questions like what did it feel like to die??1!! That's just being idiotic and disrespectful, and I know all of you can do better than that.
I totally agree with you, iron lass. Even if you don't believe that this is the original Captain America, be sympathetic if you see him around. Keep in mind that he literally just lost everything he has ever known or cared about, and that he may look pretty, but that doesn't mean he has to put up with any of your bs.
#fandom i beeeeelieve in you #leave cap alone #send him some get well soon cards or flowers or something if you want to help #dont try to be the impromptu therapist that stalks him on the street #fandom wank #depression tw #suicide tw#captain america

I'm not going to pretend to be the therapist that we all know I'm not, but I'd just like to point out a few things that I noticed during Cap's interview last week, particularly the fact that I think he crashed that plane partially because Bucky died.
Yeah, I know, a whole lot of people started screaming at me because I "ship" them or whatever and that's not the point. But if you look at this, based on what Cap said, you notice that he could have easily abandoned the plane and escaped, which would have allowed him to survive. Based on the limited information that's been released to the public, we can tell that whatever superpowers Cap has would have given him the strength to survive the freezing waters and wait for a rescue. We know that the bombs didn't go off, so it's not like he would have been blown up.
So, in other words, you could interpret his decision to bring the plane down as an act of suicide.
Even if it wasn't, at least in part, about Bucky's death, then it's pretty clear that Cap had no intention of surviving the crash. Again, if he had, he could have found an alternative, and survived. Honestly, I don't know why he did this: if not about Bucky, it could be that he was just tired or fatigued from the fighting, or was badly affected by the conflict.
But if you add onto that this idea of him wanting to die, and then waking up in the future where everyone else has died, the entire situation suddenly becomes a whole lot more fucked up. I'd go so far as to say that Cap is suffering from depression and a disconnection from the world. Watching it, as someone who's done some level of research into the psychological affects of war, you can see that Cap is giving the thousand-yard stare here and here, which is essentially a common habit found in war veterans and in victims of extreme trauma. Notably, it implies a dissociation from trauma, which would also match up with Cap's comment of "I don't feel real."
In other words, as much as the military and the media and America at large have fabricated this impossible hero that remained untainted by the soils of war, in reality Captain America is a fucked up, probably traumatized twenty nine year old who's probably been denied death in the worst way possible.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: WORLD WAR II, WAKING UP, AND THE FUTURE
Written by Courtney Lane @courtney_lanedb, at 5:30 PM, Sunday 8th April, 2012
I'd been invited to Stark Tower, and I was escorted up to one of the higher floors, with wide windows that spans the length of the room. From there, I could see all of Manhattan, which would have normally been an amazing view, but I was distracted by the only other occupant, who was sitting on one of the plush couches with a book in his hand.
Captain Steve Rogers, now most commonly referred to as Captain America, was an enormous man, to the extent where I had to look up at him, even when I sat down. However, his large size was diminished by the way in which he sat in his chair: crouched, almost folded over, as though trying to make himself smaller in this strange new world. Nonetheless, he remained an imposing sight, and he smiled at me as I set up my tape recorder and notepad. After introductions, he put his book down, and began to give me his full attention.
"Captain Rogers," I said, "first I'd like to talk about your interview on the Daily Show. What made you agree to that particular program? And how did the interview impact upon how your were viewed by the American public after it had aired?"
"Steve, please," he told me firmly, "and I chose the Daily Show because a friend of mine, Miss Pepper Potts, watches it frequently, and she thought it would be the best fit for me. And honestly, I didn't feel up to be thrown into the deep end with some of the other reality shows I've been exposed to."
"What you said, during the interview, a lot of people have chosen to interpret as prolonged post-traumatic stress disorder or a dissociation from trauma due to the nature of your experiences throughout the 1940's. Particularly, I think, because of the death of Sergeant James Barnes."
At this, he closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply.
"I'm sorry," I said, "if this is making you uncomfortable, I can-"
"No," he told me, "it's fine." He breathed deep again. "And I don't... I mean, I don't think that, at this point, I'm suffering from anything along those lines. As much as I appreciate people's thoughts on this matter, most of my concerns are how to work a StarkPhone, or what train to catch. I'm adjusting, but I'm not going out of my way to make myself miserable.
"During the interview," I pressed, "you mentioned the action you found during the battle in New York, but that after that had concluded, you felt disconnected and lost. Do you think that you have been able to adjust to the twenty first century? I understand that this must have been such a major change."
"It's been very difficult," he admitted, "mainly because of all the things... people that I've lost. But thankfully there have been people willing to help me, and able to keep me moving forward, even though I'm still struggling."
"Would you consider the other members of the Avengers Initiative to be supportive during this adjustment period?" I asked, "it's clear that Tony Stark has been particularly vocal in his support of you and the Avengers."
Steve laughed. "Yeah, Tony's been very generous to everyone. Even if he also feels the need to act like a egotistical prick for the rest of the team."
"You've amassed quite a group of fans throughout your... death," I said, "many of whom have been critical of your reappearance. If you could address them all directly, what would you say?"
"Wow, um... I'm not sure," Steve said, "all of them at once? Well, if some of them don't believe who I am, I can't really find how to convince them. I guess all I can really say is that I am Captain America. Or at least the first one, if there have been others. And, I guess I'd just like to thank them for being fans of mine at all. Back in the day, I wasn't exactly popular with a lot of the soldiers in the military."
"Why's that?"
"Well, for one thing, I spent a bulk of the war selling war bonds while wearing tights and dancing around show girls. That wasn't exactly inspiring to people, and it wouldn't be now, either. That, and I guess that even after the Commandos were formed, we were still a desegregated unit. Admittedly, we were very effective, but I think that's the only reason high command didn't try to break us apart, but I know that enough people had a problem with it. It was only the 1940's, and from what I've seen things have changed more than a little bit, for the better."
"We have a black president."
Steve nodded. "That's true. And people can serve in the military regardless of what color they are, and they don't have to worry about being lynched in their sleep by the assholes from Mississippi in the next tent." He sighed. "Which is a good thing about the future, I think. I've lost everything, but all the same, things have changed for the better. I'm not saying that things are perfect, certainly, but they're a far cry from the way things were when I was growing up."
"I absolutely agree," I said, "and I think I have time for one last question."
"Go for it."
"What's the thing you miss the most? And you're not obligated to answer, but if you can, what would that thing, or person be?"
There was a long pause, as Steve appeared to think deeply. "I think... I think I miss understanding. Understanding how things work, and what to say or what not to say, how to interact with people, and where to go, and what to do. I mean, I miss everybody, but most..." he breathed deeply, "most of my friends, as far as I know, lived long lives, and achieved more than I ever could. So I think, more than anything, I miss having a place, where things made sense and was the perfect shape for me."
"Thank you for your time, Captain Rogers."
"The pleasure was all mine, Ms Lane."
