I wish they'd given him his real costume instead of one of the movie versions. Cei-U! I summon the sellout! That's what I thought, too, but didn't want to be "that guy." Thanks for taking the bullet on that, Kurt! The story I read said that the objection wasn't so much that it was a fictional character than that it's basically a commercial promotion. |

Iccy, maybe you and I should start a campaign for a Spider-Man statue in Forest Hills, a Dr. Strange in Greenwich Village, a Luke Cage in Harlem, a Daredevil in Hell's Kitchen and a Thing for Yancy Street Is there a real Yancy Street? I always thought it was a fictional place? |

I thought Cap was a big famous character in the U.S.? Right up there with the likes of Batman and Superman, in terms of mainstream, non-comic fan recognition. Great pics, by the way, Icc. That's you in the last one, I assume? You're younger than I imagined. Funny how you get an impression of someone from their online posts that is often times completely wrong.  |

I think we had a thread where everyone posted a picture of themselves. It is startling to see how everyone looks. |
