Captain America - Living Legend: Limited Series

Old Comrades of WWII, But Not In This Era

Start: Oct 2013
End: Nov 2013

With roots tracing from the archives of World War II, Steve Rogers aka Captain America meets a former comrade of the Russian Allies, Sergeant Volkov. It has been almost half a century, both men are changed, one the embodiment of United States, the other a mysterious enigma plaguing his homeland.

In this 4-Issue Limited Series, Captain America - Living Legend, Cap and Volkov meet, uncovering more mysteries. What dark tragedy occurred during the Soviet Space Program? What is the Dead Zone that horrifies them now? Only with the Shield-Slinger's help, will they live to share this tale.

Captain America - Living Legend (01 of 4) - Starting with a recap near the end of the WWII, Hitler is surrounded and the Nazi forces are about to surrender. Far into the Bavarian Alps, Sergeant Volkov of the Russian Allies murders his wounded Commander and leads his troops into a German Outpost. He is wounded and his troops are about to be obliterated when Captain America and an American Squad reinforce them. The Nazis are taken prisoner, countering Volkov's belief that they should be killed. After blowing their way into the bunker, they find many Weirmacht prisoners and a valuable prize: a Nazi Rocket Scientist important to both governments. Suddenly Volkov is shot by a stray Nazi bullet and all goes dark. The issue then shifts to the 60's; Volkov is alive thanks to Captain America's help and is now a Cosmonaut for the Soviets. He is sent into space and the scene closes on that note. The next panel shows the DEUS experiment (Dark Energy Utilization System) designed to provide sustainable - renewable energy. During its activation, something goes wrong; it becomes too strong. Suddenly, the ship reacts as if alive. Three hours later, on the SHIELD Helicarrier Oblivion, Captain America is briefed to go into Russian territory, a deadzone - where military units are attempting to intercept DEUS wreckage. His only clue to what may have brought the vessel down is VOLKOV.

Captain America - Living Legend (2 of 4) - The Russians head to the area, notoriously noted as a "Dead Zone" they have been avoiding for years. They believe it's too coincidental to be an accident. When they arrive at one of their outposts, all the men are dead, but at their own hands! The issue then changes to Captain America's perspective; in a low orbit over the territory, his craft goes "dead" and he has to make an emergency landing. Surviving, he makes his way to the coordinates of the DEUS debris to find Doctor Lauren Fox, lead scientist of the program. Alive, he begins coordinating her rescue and their escape from Russian interrogations. The issue also takes a brief visit into 1968 when Cosmonaut Volkov and two comrades are in space over the dark side of the moon. Somehow, he becomes possessed and releases the air locker, shooting them out into space. The shuttle lands back in USSR territory. The military intercepts, opens the hatch, and are then killed by the horrifying visage of Volkov. Switching back to Captain America, he and Fox have located the DEUS  wreckage; it has fallen on top of Russian launch facility. Noticing no sign of military activity, they search around to discover a metallic monster composed, or fused, of the DEUS wreckage. Cap uses his knowledge of the ship to destroy it with a carefully place shield throw. Rogers now realizes that the technology Fox built helped create this monstrosity; it must be destroyed. But elsewhere, within the facility, Volkov smiles and waits knowing that Captain America is coming.

Captain America - Living Legend (3 of 4) - At the beginning of this issue, we are taken back to the 1970s where Volkov is being studied. All around him, men have been killing himself. He's trying to stop it from happening, but can't. At present, the Minister of Science is trying to coerce his Russian General to get his men in there and confiscate the technological wonders that have fallen into their lap. The General basically says this is suicide. As his men advance, they start fusing with the metal around and become monsters. Captain America jumps into the scene, throwing his shield and destroying them. The shield appears to be extremely effective because of its vibranium alloys. Using this knowledge, Fox makes a plan that has Cap lead the team inside to shut down the DEUS reactor. At this time, Captain America learns that Volkov is still alive and has become a horrid monster, causing people to kill themselves. They head inside and the monsters start attacking. Cap throws his shield, killing them, but also losing it when it burst through a wall to the outside. As soon as this happens, Cap begins to transform into a monster.

Captain America - Living Legend (4 of 4) - The Russians want to shoot Captain America, but Fox holds them off. Apparently Volkov is aware of Cap's transformation and wants to keep him alive for later. This abates the transformation and now Cap is fine. Fox and the soldiers grab laser weapons and Cap runs off. Although they think he's abandoned them, he's actually going back for his shield. When he returns, he gives it to Fox and tells her to get that reactor offline. Captain America then goes deep into the installation and finds Volkov; this is the showdown we knew would happen. Once confronted, he learns that Volkov is host to an ancient dark-energy creature that simple wants to die. It doesn't know how to and the echos from it cause others to commit suicide. Outside the space our its "children", causing chaos; they were born when the DEUS came online. Volkov tries to get Captain America to kill him, but Cap refuses until he starts to turn the gun on himself. Then he blows a hole in Volkov's head. Fox manages to get the DEUS offline in the meantime, resolving the story. At the end, the Minister of Science shows back up, furious that the soldiers have nothing to turn over. The Russian General punches him in the face and than asks for Political Asylum.

Captain America in Dimension Z

SUMMARY PAGE: CAPTAIN AMERICA, MARVEL NOW!

Click Here: The Marvel NOW! Reading Order

Analysis: Steve Rogers concluded his previous Captain America and Captain America and ... titles; now he has a new number one, called...Captain America. Although it won't be much of a fresh start, one key change with Cap is his uniform. It's a huge chronological marker that you should be looking for in any issue. Originally in tights, Cap has been moving more and more towards military style fatigues and gear.

And finally, in regards to this specific story, it's currently placed early in the Reading Order. Most of the pictures of Captain America are confusing, but he appears to be in his earlier uniform. He officially changes his outfit in Avengers #1 (2013), which apparently, occurs later.

Right: The cover of Captain America #1 (2013), part of the Marvel NOW! event.

Captain America #1 (On his 90th birthday, Steve Rogers goes on a mission that lands him into Dimension Z, or Zolandia, run by one of his old enemies, Arnam Zola. He's knocked out while stowing away on a train into the place, and wakes up strapped to a lab table. Before any real damage can be done, he breaks free and gets out. Zola sees the destruction he caused on his escape and exclaims that his son has been killed, but we find out that Steve carried, or saved, a small child and has the baby with him.)
Captain America #2 (Continues from Captain America #1, where Rogers is still in the Z Dimension. Still trapped in the strange dimension by Arnim Zola, Captain America's fate has now been stranded there a year with the mysterious boy, trying to survive the alien threats surrounding them. As they attempt to move past a field, they are beset by two murderous mutates. Cap disarms them and wakes up a monster under the sands to kill one. He manages to kill the monster, but is then captured by a semi-civilized race and knocked out. When he awakens, he and the boy are taken to their leader. Preparing to be killed, he exclaims that is no friend of Zola before the issue ends.)
Captain America #3 (Continues immediately from Captain America #2, in Dimension Z. Cap avoids decapitation at the last moment and gets his universal translator working. One of the Phrox have decided to take him in. But later, while staying with them, he tries to incite a rebellion against their tyrannical leader, Zofjor. Hearing this, a battles ensues. Cap manages to kill Zofjor, but in the passing time, realizes that the strange sensations in his chest is a bio-grown link of Arnim Zola, his enemy!)
Captain America #4 (Continues from Captain America #3, 11 years later, in Dimension Z. While out on a hunt with Ian, now his adopted son, Steve encounters scouts from Zola's army. They take out one of them and examine his craft, finding a map of the Dimension, including a way to return home. Steve then shows Ian the visage of Zola's consciousness emanating from his chest. Ian also learns that Zola is his true father. Steve then warns Ian about Zola and the importance of getting home. Meanwhile, back at Zola's lair, Jet Black, Ian's sister, has captured the former Phrox War Chief that Rogers banished and learned vaguely where they are. She vows to kill them.)
Captain America #5 (Continues from the previous issue. Zola has found and is leading an extermination raid on The Phrox. Captain America and Ian race to this battle which is an all-out endgame. Jet joins the fight using a special style called Tachyon Fu; she beats Captain America down, but Ian faces and surprises her. Now Jet knows her brother is alive. He strikes her in the throat, knocking her down, but when Steve sees this, he shows mercy. Meanwhile, Zola has unleashed all his resources, eventually reaching Jet. She reveals that her brother, his son, is alive. Captain America is nearly defeated once again and Zola is furious to find that he took and raised his only son. He has Cap thrown over a cliff. Down below, Steve is still wrestling with the Zola virus in his chest. He climbs up, grabs a branch, and stabs himself in the chest, tearing the face out. Infuratied, but liberated, he vows to get his son.)
Captain America #6 (Occurs after Captain America #5 with no interruptions. The time discrepancy is undefined. Now losing the boy he's raised for the last decade, Steve treks to Zola's lair. Ian has been captured by Zola, but he resists accepting his heritage as the villain's son. Jet Black, meanwhile, begins feeling affection for our hero; she doesn't understand him. Captain America finally makes a solo assault on Zola's base; he catches Jet Black unaware, but she doesn't think he can pull the trigger and kill her. Ian, long since raised by Steve, is now being brainwashed; Zola now has him loyal. At the end, Steve does pull the trigger; he appears to kill Jet Black.)
Captain America #7 (Occurs immediately after Captain America #6. Of course Jet Black remains alive. We learn that Cap tied her up and continued to Zola's main lab, hoping to find Ian. Freed by her slaves, Jet Black pursues; in the meantime Zola has decided now to start a mutate invasion of Earth. Jet catches Steve and the two battle, all the while, he finally convinces her to show some form of compassion. Steve believes he may have finally swayed her opinion, but then he's shot. And this time, it's Ian who pulled the trigger.)

Captain America and The Ultimates Face Civil Unrest

VILLAINOUS MOMENTS

With Border Security at an All-Time High

~The Ultimates #15 (2012)

There's serious trouble with the technology of today. As a matter of fact, "Social Media" has a whole new meaning. This excerpt comes from the latest release of The Ultimates, where The United States is involved with tech that's gone overboard.

Think this response for border security is crazy? That's nothing. In this alternate reality story, Captain America has resigned his position and the States have split up with some seceding from the Union. Even Nick Fury is a wanted man. And during all of the crisis, the polls are opening for the next Presidential Election.

Stay tuned. As The Ultimates go into action, the ending is a big surprise.

Villainous Moments is a column from of The Superheroes List, updated weekly (usually Tuesday). What are the bad guys doing this week? Macabre and unthinkable, grotesque and unbearable; here's your answer! Look for #VillainousMoments on Twitter.

Scourge: Revealed

~Captain America #12 (2012)

In the latest issue of Captain America, we've finally learned who is hiding behind the visage of Scourge: it's Dennis Dunphy, who some might know of as Demolition Man.

D-Man's past is a bit muddled; he's in a state of flux and has served Marvel Comics as a superhero and villain. His first appearance was in The Thing #28 (1985), but he actually took his name during Captain America #328 (1987).

One theme that has surfaced in Dennis' history is his desire or need to be Captain America's ally. Apparently though, things have changed for the worst. Henry Gyrich, a man bent on revenge and extreme justice, has turned Dunphy into the Scourge of The Underword; now the one-time do-gooder is murdering anyone who gets in their way.

And Who Are You, Spider-Man?

 ~FCBD Avengers: Age of Ultron #0.1 (2012)

We were forewarned that Ultron would return back when the huge Marvel Point One November 2011 issue appeared; the world would be plunged into chaos and tyranny, and the artificial intelligence that had threatened Earth's Mightiest Heroes from times past would find its way back to Earth.

That day has come; but before we cower in fear, this panel will grant us a few moments of levity. Steve Rogers, aka Captain America is learning about the organization known as SWORD in a meeting with Abagail Brand. The scene quickly becomes one of revelation as Hank McCoy, The Beast steps forward.

Not to be outdone, Spidey decides it's time to unveil his "other" identity. Please note, this was the Free Comic Book Day 2012 release, so prepare for an intense series of stories to come.

The Avengers Movie Review

Somewhere out there, other worlds exist. And they have no intention of being friendly, especially when a power-hungry demigod Asgardian is looking for some payback. In a nutshell, this is the villainy you're going to see in the May 4th, 2012 release of the movie, The Avengers. I had the privilege of viewing an early release: It had everything you'd expect. And more. If you're a fan of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, you're going to get your money's worth; and if you've never heard of Thor, Iron Man, or any of the rest of these legendary heroes, you'll in for an action-packed story.

Let's get to the meat, though. Here's the important notes.

The Plot: Loki, Thor's brother, has made a pact with an alien race to invade the planet Earth. To get them across the cosmos, he steals the Cosmic Cube, called the Tesseract. Fearing for the planet's safety, Nick Fury calls in Earth's Mightiest Heroes and forms The Avengers, who work together with difficulty, but eventually mesh together to fight for their survival.

First off, the characters. Most were top-notch, but I felt a couple of them were weak. At this point, I can now say that nobody plays Tony Stark better than Robert Downey Jr.; the two were made for each other. And Samuel L. Jackson actually was the inspiration for this version of Nick Fury, so we needed to look no further. Chris Hemsworth as Thor: perfect. I was also surprised how great Mark Ruffelo did as a burdened Bruce Banner; he came across perfect, had clever quips, and probably to the rest of us, became the most scrutinized actor because he only recently got the part after we learned Edward Norton was not asked to fill the role. Overall, we had reasonable expectations from them due to their appearances in all the prequel movies.

My disappointments came from some of the character designs and writing. Nick Fury: in my book, he's a no holds barred son of a gun. He plays with the big dogs; on the battlefield, he's as ruthless as The Punisher. I didn't see that, unfortunately. Captain America was mediocre to my liking. I'm a big Cap fan and didn't like the costume that much; he looked stiff and kinda thin. (I do realize that the Cap uniform is a tricky, though.) What redeemed the super-soldier was near the end when he started taking aliens down, barking orders, and coordinating the Avengers counter-attack. That's my guy!

Black Widow and Hawkeye were never billed as main draws to the movie; I felt they played well in the mostly supporting positions. I knew Scarlett  Johansson was going to have short hair, but I made amends. She played Black Widow well and the scene were she beat up a russian mob boss and his flunkies while tied to a chair was brilliant. Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) was interesting to me; I wasn't sure how they were going to pull off an archer superhero in a real life movie. Thumbs up, though; he was actually quite good and I loved how he could set his quiver for specialty arrowheads at a moment's notice.

The Action was great: If you ever want to make a successful superhero movie, add aliens or robots; something you can beat up on, which doesn't make you look like a killer. That's what happened here as Loki allied himself with the Chitauri to invade earth. This movie ran almost two and a half hours; although the first hour was slower paced, it seamlessly lead into a much more frenzied last half. Many of the battles were actually disputes between the heroes. The best solo fights in my opinion were Thor vs. Iron Man and Hulk vs. Thor; they really threw down. (No, I mean threw down through buildings, trees, battleship hulls, etc.)

The CGI and Special Effects were excellent. Hulk stole the show, not just with the renditions of the monster, but the writer's portrayal. In the beginning, he was surprisingly psycho-scarey, but by the end, you're laughing at the behemoth's aggressive nature. In all the cases, it worked. Superb.

My only problem, what surprised me the most, was the size of the handguns. I'm thinking Fury and Black Widow would be packing some sizeable heat; instead they were firing off pea-shooters that produce little "bang". I'm not sure why it was decided that they carry very small firearms, but that's how it ended up.
Tied into all this, you had the background and scenery, which I thought was a little dull at times. Much of the film took place on the SHIELD heli-carrier, a floating "city" where they ran their operations; this put us in grey and battleship steel sequences, aircraft cockpits and flight decks. But don't fret; the last half of the movie, aliens are destroying Manhattan, and you can never go wrong when New Yorkers are fleeing for their lives.

Overall, this movie was a success. I though it was going to be difficult to pull off a plot with this many superheroes; there's always a lot that gets left on the cutting room floor when you have a huge cast like this. In my opinion, it was better than any in the X-Men trilogy. There was a great deal of action, and even great moments of humor (sometimes very unexpected, like when Loki calls Hulk a stupid monster and gets throw back and forth before he can finish his sentence. That was incredible.) If you really want an experience, go for the 3D; it adds to the dimensional, sci-fi content because the special effects were great.

Last Note: Stay for the Easter Egg. Most Marvel flicks have a brief scene at the end; The Avengers followed the same pattern and you'll see a surprising character between the credit rolls. And yes, this means more Avengers to come!

Avenger #1: Captain America

He's the Star-Spangled Patriot, born out of the misery of The Great Depression and Second World War; an inspiring emblem to an emerging nation in need of hope, his name is Captain America, wearing the colors of the good ole' U.S. of A. Carried with him at all times is his trademark shield, thought to be indestructible, which he uses as a devastating weapon and formidable defense.

Cap, more than any hero in the Marvel Universe, symbolizes Earth's Mightiest Heroes, which is quite ironic if you consider he's not a founding member (first appearing in Avengers #4, 1964, the group thawed him out from suspended animation). Nowadays, he's often known as The First Avenger, a term that qualified him due to the pre-Avenger's Initiative, government program he joined from the 40's.)

And why is that? Why is Captain America so important to the superhero ethos and integral to the Avenger team? It's clearly what he stands for: originally a frail, young Steve Rogers, this underprivileged boy withstood all trials to survive the super-soldier program, achieving the highest levels of physical performance capable by human standards. To people around the world, he now represents freedom, strength, and justice.

So, when the Thor, Iron Man, and the rest are being hammered to their very end, there's one man, endlessly and tirelessly rising to his feet, bearing the shield to defend all allies. He's their face to the public and the team's unshakeable will. Captain America is actually a man with no power, but one representing the highest ideals of mankind. It is this resume that makes him a true hero and the greatest Avenger.

Spidey and Cap, BFF?

~Avenging Spider-Man #5 (2012)

In the new Avenging Spider-Man series, our favorite wall-crawler has been hanging out with The Avengers and is currently in the middle of one of their missions. But just before they left, old comic books, drawn by Cap himself, appeared from back when he was a youth. Virtually everything from the WWII vintage Captain America era is selling hot on the internet these days.

Which leads us to Spider-Man, who we already know is a nerd. After viewing the young Steve Rogers drawings, he now feels a bond, a nerd-y kinship, with the star-spangled hero. And this, my friends, is what happens when Spidey has a man-crush on you.

AvX: Cyclops Attacks

~Avengers vs. X-Men #1 (2012)

Well, in case you were taking your superhero cape out to the cleaners, Avengers vs. X-Men #1 released on April 4, 2012. The issue took off right away; there was no shortage of pace and action.

Some of this information is spoiler material: The entire event, which has been culminating from Marvel Point One #1 (2011) is the return of The Phoenix Force to earth; once again, it is heading for a host. This time, it will find its mark in Hope Summers, the mutant messiah.

The teams will break into two schools of thought:

1. The Avengers, who believe they are defending the world from an extinction-level event, and
2. The X-Men, who think that the Phoenix' return may save the mutant race from extinction.

In Avengers vs. X-Men #1, Captain America made his way to the mutant-controlled island of Utopia to have words with their leader Cyclops. Needless to say from the picture, talks didn't go well. Cyclops has struck the first blow in this 2012 Marvel Event. And now, it's time for battle...

Avengers vs. X-Men is a Marvel Comics event. A Reading Order, Checklist, and summary of the issues are being post on The Avengers vs. X-Men page sponsored by The Superheroes List. If you're interested in following the action, check it out.

Captain America...LIVES!

This showed up at Marvel.com yesterday and it's really generating some interest. Captain America: The First Avenger is coming out July 22, 2011.

It's not just me, is it? I think this is the movie that might bring back some of the American Spirit! From my perspective, the origin looks great and promising; they've done a great job with the SFX. I can't wait to see Cap throw his shield and fight the Nazis.

Also, there's something really sincere and magnificent about heroes when they are set in the World War II era. I thinks it's because we had a real enemy we could call "evil", the sciences were still in a new-born state, and the country was breaking out of the depression.

Call me old fashioned; I really got a kick out of this trailer. I'm excited. I feel like Cap is going to pull at our sense of decency and justice; like there's still one innocent guy out there believing in good. And fighting for it.

Captain America's Appeal

I recently visited a debate thread where the participates were discussing which 2011 supehero movie would "take the prize".

Here's my pick: Captain America: The First Avenger. And here's why.

1. Captain America represents the Ameican Tradition, and more specifically, "American Exceptionalism". Right now, in the USA, there's a growing crisis reality and mentality that we are deficient in solving our problems. But the idea, the very concept of good ole' Cap is that American Exceptionalism is still alive, that we can become better, and we should never give up in the face of adversity.

2. Captain America is a legend that spans many generations. Having started in 1941, the Captain represents the older, still living, "greatest" generation of World War II. Heck, this movie will actually start in that era. Therefore, not only will the Captain America draw the younger comic book crowd, but he'll be bringing in the typical Comic Book Collectors from the ages, as well as Grandma and Grandpa, who remembered him fondly way back.

3. Captain America is represents the traditional "Boy Scout" hero. Remember how DC labels Superman as "The Big Blue Boy Scout"? Well, Marvel basically has the same profile with our red, white, and blue shield-slinger. The Captain is one of those heroes who follows the heart of justice; he's a do-gooder through and through. And the public, always seems to resonate with hereos of this kind.

4. Captain America is an Avenger. Although this is a smaller reason, many people will go see the movie twice or three times, just to find "clues" that will lead them to the upcoming Avengers movie in 2012. In other words, they already know it's a pre-quel, and will stay after the credit roll, just to see if there are any extra clips.

Summary: All in all, I'm sure we are all looking forward to the superheroes movies coming out in 2011; with Cap, Thor, Green Lantern, and so forth, this ensures an exciting summer. But of them all, Captain America is highly likely to be the diamond in the rough; he just means too much, symbolically, to the people of the US.
