I figured that would be the case. Especially after he held the mask when Cap was arrested. Maybe it'll be like the death of superman. You'll have 4 different Captain Americas. S*** storylines like that is why I could never get into comics.

Are you suggesting that The Return of Superman was terrible? Cos I've always thought it was one of the most perfectly assembled (if a bit sterile) storylines of all time... The Death of Superman, however, sucked.

So no shield for Captain Frank, i take it? Nope, Cap willed the shield to Stephen Colbert. It was on TV last night. I marked like crazy for that! I never thought I'd hear the term "Wakandan Vibranium" uttered on broadcast TV in my life.

Punisher as Captain America?
I'm not gonna get political but... accurate modern representative.

The last time they did the Steve Rogers replaced as Cap storyline in the mid eighties with the John Walker ( in his pre USAgent days) it was great. Gruenwald was one of the better Cap writers most of the time.. but it was a mixed bag, sometimes you'd get things like the aforementioned storyline and the AWESOME Squadron Supreme, and then sometimes you'd get Cap Wolf or that whole story where he had to wear dopey looking armor just to stay alive.
Come to think of it, around that same half decade or so- Spidey, Cap, Daredevil, Thor ALL wore crappy armored costumes for at least an ish or two. Surprised we didn't get a five issue miniseries crossover where they all battled Waterman ( who wasn't actually a character but WAS a villain in one of those Hostess ads, where he tried to rust Iron Man, who shot him with a repulsor ray, and then gave him a Twinkie--- I've read way too many comics.)

What about Hydro-Man?

He's actually not a bad character, and I really just wanted to make the Hostess reference. In fact they did an issue during Acts of Vengeance I think it was of Avengers West Coast where Loki made Hyrdroman smart and he killed almost the entire team.
Then Immortus showed up and erased the timeline, but still, Hydroman wasn't defeated by no flaky golden twinkie crust and delicious cream filling.

Seriously though, could it be at all possible that Castle is the gunman who took out Cap'n? I haven't followed it too closely so I don't know if the shooter was revealed or not.
I know it wouldn't make a hell of a lot of sense, but god that'd be a fantastic plot twist. Frank Castle isn't the most stable guy anyway, so y'know, it COULD happen. Maybe.

I wouldn't like it, as they've ALWAYS shown Castle as having a hero worship thing with Cap. Unless he felt that Cap betrayed his values when he gave himself up, I still hope that's not the case.

I love reading all these comic book debates. I own exactly 3 comics. All I've ever owned but I'm still oddly fascinated by all this.

I was pretty much uninterested in comic books myself up until recently, all of this is just quite intriguing.
