Top 10 Surprises In Captain America

To some people’s surprise (that would be me, if you’re asking), Marvel Comics made an excellent movie about Captain America.

Who’d’ve thought that the shield-slinging WWII hero would translate so well to the screen? It’s so good, that they may wait at least 8 years before rebooting it.

But for those that watch the movie a second or third time (that would be me, if you’re asking), there are some surprises lurking in the margins.

Here then, are the Top 10 Surprises In The New Captain America Movie:

10: His shield is made out of Reb Brown’s career

9. It’s not just the skull that’s red

Marvel Comics Review: Captain America: Reborn #3

Rating: ****

Another great issue for this series.  In our last issue, Bucky and the Black Widow were captured by Norman and Obsborn.  Norman has released to the media that Sharon Carter was the second shooter in the assassination of Captain America.  He released the Black Widow and said that unless she returns with Sharon Carter, Bucky is dead.

Our story opens with Cap continuing to jump through time to different points in his life.  Cap has now jumped to the time when he was frozen in ice.  During this period, Cap was worshiped by local tribe as some sort of ice god.  Namor arrives and is angry at the natives and picks up the block of ice and launches back into the ocean.  Steve narrates the scene and it seems this isn’t the first time he’s visited this point in time.  He says that he tries to cry out for help every time, but it never works.  We then flash to the present where Reed Richards and the present Namor are at the same spot.  Namor brings up Steve’s glass coffin, only to see his body disappear!
