well i like the new captain america for one the drawings are good

None of the stores here in St. Marys are selling Fighting American or anything from Rob's company. Not that I would look at them for fear of gastrointestinal pain and severe migraines.

His geography, history, characterizations, references or lack thereof, and most obviously his artwork show a blatant disregard for hard work and striving for personal or professional growth. Simply put..... the boy is lazy. If he doesn't care about the quality of the garbage that he puts out, then why in the world would I buy it???

> A Doller Conscious Ned

Well, I didn't buy the book either, even though I did look through it at the store! Just glancing at the pages showed major flaws and major similarities to Rob's HR Crap--let me mention some flaws (which, btw, also serve as some similarities!). FA's shield has that mysterious power of shifting arms between panels, and his belt disappears at a moments notice (not to mention the fact that his belt buckle has shape changing capabilities!). Rob has no idea how many stripes are on the American flag (nor which color the flag's stripes ends with!). Someone has already mentioned the Nazi/Commie mix up, but did anyone else notice the similarity between this plot and certain Rambo movies? Well, at the very least, we can say the ol Robbie is consistent--consistently bad!

Happy Birthday,

I was lucky enough to have the chance to read a friend's copy. My goodness, this comic was bad.

> Rob and Jeph (who no one ever blamed for that horrible run on Heroes Reborn, he was just as guilty..)

And that's what gets me about Loeb. He can write a good story, i.e. his Batman work with Tim Sale. But whenever he gets around Liefeld, Liefeld's black hole of amaturism sucks Loeb in.

That happened because those pages are leftovers from Rob's terrible run on CAP. Liefeld said FIGHTING AMERICAN wasn't going to include any reused CAP material.

He lied.

> Aside from the historical inconsistancies, the story and art were terrible never shall I buy a Liefield product again, this I vow!!

I'm a big Alan Moore fan, and I once made a joke that I'd buy anything Moore wrote, even if it was drawn by a piece-of-crap artist like Liefeld. Well, I'm suffering through Moore's JUDGEMENT DAY, and Liefeld's pencils make it hard to enjoy the story at all. He's just a tarrible artist. He doesn't give a damn.

Dunno. But the shop owner did say they sold out via subscription. So he probably just only ordered what was pre-ordered. Shame, I was really looking forward to burning that comic...

Well, profanity, posting on old threads that deal w/Jamie boy's
banning. Maybe I'm homophobic and don't know it, but I didn't
like the post about Cap being gay. This just sounds like typical
Jamie immature stuff.
The Leaper also has two IP addresses and I think you and a few others
are aware of this.
I guess I had a gut feeling and I feel bad when I see people abusing
the board. I guess what I need to do is stay on the "Rap with Cap"
board and quit being concerned.

Punctuation ain't the problem here, Damaged, but insulting posts are! Now, I'll admit that your first post left lots to be desired, but I didn't find it as insulting as Jamie used to be. In response to your original question--no, Cap is not gay. If he was, then he'd be dating Falcon instead of all the women he's gone out with in the past. Also, there was an issue in which Cap confronted the gay issue with regards to someone he knew. IIRC, Cap basically said that he wouldn't choose the lifestyle, but he also wouldn't negatively judge someone how did. Someone else brought this issue up some months ago, could anyone give a better recap (pun intended)?

Happy Birthday,

Bubba

First I would like to say that I laughed big time when I saw that Rob Suckfield was comming out with a clone of Captain America. Then somehow, GOD ONLY KNOWS, he got premission to use Fighting American....what kind of moron is he. His Cap. was the worst in the glorious history of Captain America and soon he will realize that hardly anyone on this Earth thinks he is a good artist. He needs to get a job that he would be good at like collecting trash :-).......


Now I can not wait untill Captain Returns with Waid and Garney I have very high hopes for this series... Also I wish Marvel would get their heads out of their asses and start where the numbering left off the only ones who want a new Cap. #1 is the money hunger jerks that run Marvel.....Even the writies of the returning heroes wanted to start with the old numbers and no matter what they see Heroes Reborn will go down as one of the worst things that Marvel Comics ever did...

I didn't agree with the numbering scheme either. However, I recently read an interview with Kurt Busiek and he supported the numbering idea. I'm paraphraing but he said that he has a lot of faith in Himself and Waid to put out good work. He knows that 35% more comics will be sold with the #1 posted on them and therefor 35% more fans will see the good direction these characters are headed for. It kind of makes sense when you think of it.

He knows that 35% more comics will be sold with the #1 posted on them and therefor 35% more fans will see the good direction these characters are headed for. It kind of makes sense when you think of it.

You and I usually see eye to eye on things, but I gotta disagree with this one. If simply putting a number 1 on a comic will bring in more readers (as opposed to more "collectors"), then every comic should be an issue #1! Or, barring that, each year they should reboot every title, so that we always have a new #1 to draw in new readers. Naw, I think #1s primarily draw in new speculator/collectors, and not readers. Readers are usually drawn to things like good stories and art (which the new titles will have in plenty!).

Fear not Bubba. You and I still see eye to eye on this one. I hate the numbering scheme. It is a tactic I hoped that Marvel wouldn't take.

Good. I'm new here, too, but welcome.

Try to remember, some people won't share your opinions and some of those people will respond with anger. Let them be angry. And some people find offensive the notion that Cap must be gay because he isn't shown having sex. If they find that offensive, fine. Let them. Don't worry yourself.

That's not what Albert was saying. He wasn't teasing you about your punctuation at all.

I'm guessing there was a guy named Jamie who came here and acted like a jackass. When Batroc read your message about Cap being gay and found it offensive, he thought you might be this Jamie person in disguise. You aren't. Fine. No biggie.

I believe he gave it back to Tony in a Cap issue, maybe 339 or 340 was the issue number. He gave it back because of the whole armor wars thing.

Well, Dox, in a sense it doesn't matter if the story and art are good. Yet, in another way, it does matter to me in that changing the numbering at least implies a change in the character and an implicit (if not explicit) denial of all the history (i.e., the other issues) that went before. Let me put it to you like this--you've collected Captain America since it was numbered in the early 100's, and you have an almost complete collection up through the first Waid/Garney run. Now, you have the HR crap interrupting the flow and soon you'll have new numbers with which to contend. In other words, it spoils the sense of longevity of a title. Also, putting out another #1 just for the heck of it (i.e., as a gimmick to attract speculators) is just downright a waste of time! As I said before, if putting #1 on a comic will attract more consistent readers, then number them all #1! Of course, this trick wouldn't work, so they don't do it!

Chris is right. We never see Cap's adamantium shield after he gives it back to Stark after Armor Wars. However, I did write a piece of fan fict that had it stolen by Red Guardian III and that it's Tony's Shield that he slings in Russia.

What's inside is what ultimately (love that word) matters, of course. A good story and sharp art will keep me coming back time and again.

Numbering on the cover matters because of a very necessary connection to the past that long-running series like this have to have. Cap has been around for a long, long time, and we all know that. We all also know how enamored of the past comic book readers are; there are some who spend huge amounts of time worrying over continuity and the like. Continuing the numbering scheme from the original series would be a solid connection to the past. Not necessarily a must-have, vitally-important connection, but a nice, solid one.

A new #1 would bring more sales. It would get the book out in front of more people, which translates into more readers.

For me, the numbers don't matter that much, just as long as Waid and Garney get back and wipe the memory of Rob's pseudo-Cap from my mind.

I thought he had only two shields 1) The original shield he kept for a couple months in the 1940's and 2) The round shield by Myron McLean that Cap has used ever since. If I'm wrong can someone tell me what other shields their were, and what happened to them? Thanks.

I'd hate to think that Cap (or, the Cap-writer who wrote it) believes gay people are choosing to be gay, choosing a gay "lifestyle," etc. One of Cap's best friends from childhood, Arnie, was gay, and was not a stereotype, if memory serves.

Rob:

As I said in my post, I'm going solely on memory here, and it is a faulty memory at that! I'm not sure how it was expounded in the actual comic, only that someone on this board some months ago explained the issue in this way (again, if I remember correctly). That's why I asked for corrections, for goodness sakes! For all I know, Cap may not have said anything like what I wrote! Don't judge Cap on my faulty memory, and please let's not start a flame war on homosexuality over my post.

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that Cap has had a total of 7 shields.
1. The original angular shield of his early career.
2. The indestructible shield of Mr. Mclean.
3. A magnatized steel shield given to him in his early Avengers days by Tony Stark. It could do all sorts of tricks as Cap had magnitized controls in his glove.
4. An adamantium shield given to him by Stark when he assumed the identity of the Captain. He gave it back when the two had a falling out after Armor Wars.
5. The second shield given to him as the Captain. This was constructed with vibranium by the Black Panther. This was the one given to US Agent.
6. The energy shield given to him in "Man without a country" by Sharon Carter.
7. Finally Doc Doom made a shield for him to defend himself against Machinesmith during the conclusion of "Man without a country". It was destroyed in the battle.

There might be others out there but they're probably minor instances. I count number 7 as a pretty minor instance myself.

Two points on this one:
1. The nazi soldires who beat him up were the cosmic cube's vision of a perfect Nazi soldiers and would have been a lot better than Watchdogs or the others he fought in his board room.
2. The super soldier formula enhances the strength, stamina and the POTENTIAL for perfect reflexes and fighting skills. Skull's hand to hand skills are not up there with Cap's nor are his acrobatics. This was obvious when he was defeated by Kingpin.

Cap's Strength (2017)

Posted by Patriot on September 10, 1997 at 08:08:00 PDT

I'm confused about how much this boy can lift. I always thought that it was approx. 800-1000 lbs. However, there are a lot of entries since 87 that claim he is at maximum human strength and can press almost 1 ton. The RPG changed his strength to 1 ton as well at the same time. When he was the Captain, he did some pretty remarkable stuff. He ripped off machinery parts, picked up really heavy looking objects, and ripped open jail bars. Did his strength increase along the way?
Maybe no one knows what I'm talking about but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Well, basically Cap is as strong as the person writing him wants him to be! I believe, however, that the original idea was that the Super Soldier Serum (TM) was meant to bring Steve Rogers to peak human capacity in all areas. I'm not sure what peak human strength would be, but I would think that that would mean that Cap was pretty strong (at least stronger than Batman, but probably not as strong as Spider-Man). I know this really doesn't answer the question, but it's all I know about Cap's strength!

Technically Dr Pym, Cap would be a mutate as the serum mutaded his system much like the radioactive spider or cosmic rays. A mutant is born with the mutation (X) factor.

Who Is Captain America? (2021)

Posted by Tony Stark on September 11, 1997 at 06:23:06 PDT

Captain America is suppossed to be this paragon of virtue. Some people have portrayed him as naive and with no vices. But he's human, and humans can't be perfect all the time. I know Cap has had sex (with women for those of you who need to be told), and he does play poker (he still owes the Thing money). He's also been know to swear (nothing harsher then "damn" and "hell"), and to jump to conclusion's about people (but he always corrects himself if his wrong). Cap is from the '40's, and is still a product of his time, but from his year in the latter half of the century, some newer thing have rubbed off of him. He likes big band, but I can see him listening to some pop from nowadays. He's a huge fan of the old b&w films, but I can see him catching the latest action/adventure, and drama. I don't know if he watches westrens or war films (i highly doubt it), but I can't see him watching horror or sci-fi. He likes muscials, the older as well as the newer one like Andrew Lloydd Webber. He doesn't drink too often (maybe never), and he rarely (if ever) smokes. He's a simple, all American boy who likes a game of baseball (maybe basketball, but not football or hockey). He's more prone to have a hamburger and fries, with applea pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert, then go to an expensive restaurnat. I wonder if he ever goes through Burger King or any other fast food restaurant? He likes t.v., and seems to be a fan of Friends. I think he might even watch the occasional X-Files.
He has had enough experience with women and enough respect for them, not to treat them like he would have in the '40's. Though at times his thinking may be a little old fashioned, he is also a man of the '90's.
He's a family man, with belief in family values, but not to the point where they discrimnate. He's Christian (what branch I don't know, probally protestant), but doesn't think his religion is better then anyone else's. In other words, he believes in people living in whatever way they want, as long as it doesn't break the law. He might not necessarily agree, but he won't tell a person how to live. He feels to do so is un-American and tramples on the vary ideas America was founded on.
Oh he's loyal to this country and her ideas (may not always agree with the politician's, but I can't see him loosing faith in Americ and her people). He believes others should have the same freedoms and rights we do(he has had first hand experience with those who don't), and will fight the enemies of freedom and libery whether they threaten America, anothe country, or the world. Because that's what being American is: fighting to keep what we take for granted, and giving it to those who have never tasted freedom. And the only thing that will stop him from reaching his goal (the one he was made for) is death. And he doesn't fear death, he charges death, challenges death. And death always backs down cause death can not defeat someone as confident, as proud, as noble, as loving as this one man.
And that's who Captain America is to me.

I think you're in for a treat Tony. Waid is going to delve into those aspects you've described and more.
You mentioned his personal lifestyle but in a recent Wizard interview, Waid talks about Cap as a hero as well. He states that not only is Cap a soldier, but he'd be the four star general of any combat. He gives orders and doesn't take too many (Although he would listen to defering opinions from others like any good general would). He is the ultimate fighter and has an unparalleled noble spirit.
I thought I'd let people know Mr Waid's opinions on the subject as well.

Cap's shield withstands a direct hit from Galactus!! There's no way he was holding back as he had just been betrayed by the Surfer. Not only that, but the shield is the only thing left after the devistation of the ultimate nullifier. This helps to prove my theory that the shield is nearly indestructable exept for the most cosmic of beings (Beyonder, Infinity Gems, etc). Please notice I said "This HELPS to prove" my theory and that I know facts from the HR universe are scetchy (there's been a debate over Firelord killing Hulk going on for days at the Hulk board) but it was nice to see the shield once again prevail through adversity. I believe it would take something imensely powerful to destroy this icon due to its history so far and that Magneto wouldn't have a chance of damaging it. It's nice to see Jim Lee agrees with me. I say Jim Lee as he was ultimately in charge and that traitorous Loeb only wrote it.
I couldn't help but notice that Loeb spent more time dwelling on Liefeld's Bucky than Marvel's Cap. In fact, Cap was a secondary character in his own book. I think it was big time conflict of interest having Loeb write that issue. Just my two cents.

I also remember it being stated that John Walker was 10x stronger than Cap(during the replacement cap saga), and Walker can press 10 ton's. Mark Gruenwald's depicted cap in the one ton strength range.

Doc, I agree with you on this one. It seems to me that Cap's limit should end somewhere in the 700's or so (and THAT'S benchpress!). Now, I don't know what Cap's real limits are, but I don't think he can lift trucks or tanks. He might be able to toss people around pretty easy, but I don't see him regularly breaking chains and bending jail bars, if you know what I mean.

Also if I recall the stormtroopers had super-dooper fusion cannons, whips, personal armour etc. But don't forget the Skull has Cap's cloned body, probably just as high a level of tolerance to pain etc. and would use some dirty tricks Cap would never use (there are lots of evil 'killing techniques', gouges, pressure points etc. the skull knows). Also don't forget that crossbones went from a normal human agent into such a highly charged phisique that Daredevil couldn't 'read' his movements (in Streets of Poison). Also don't forget one of the Kingpin's major advantages in melee has always been people underestimating him, just becasue he is so fat. Someone that big who can fight definately has a BIG advantage over someone 'normal' sizde with the same level of skill.

»>>>> The enigmatic Shield survives. I wonder if the Surfer being fortified with the nullifier helped retard the effects of Galsctus' assault?
Now, the Shield's resilence along with its compactness would probably make it suseptible to being hurled from Galactus' implosion. Heck, maybe the Surfer's board is in the river.
The Shield has come a long way from being described as mere "steel" in Avengers (vol. 1) #8.

Talking about Cap's shield? (2033)

Posted by Doc Pym on September 13, 1997 at 20:23:05 PDT

This situation has always annoyed me a bit. In a old New Mutants issue by Claremont. The Avengers attack Magneto at the Mass. Academy (issue40?) Anyway it was pretty awesome, but Magneto couldnt conrol Cap's shield with his magnetism due to its unique properties. Well in one of the Cap issues he fights a robotic Magneto built by the Machinesmith, well the robot imposter easily magnetizes the shield? Whats up with that. I'm sure magnetism doesnt affect the shield but just in case does anyone know? Thanks Doc Pym

>>>> Magneto hurled it around in an issue of Super-Villian Team-up along with Mjolnir. I don't think Maggy can manipulate Mjolnir with it's Norse Magic.
The Shield is capricous. Maybe the Heroe's Return Universe will have an answer?? Batroc the Leaper

> The old Cap poll "Who is your favorite Cap artist" is done, and the new poll "What should happen to the HR Bucky" is up! Come participate!

Your server was screwed up, so I couldn't weigh in.

I'll try again later.
