Episode 85: The "Return" of Captain America (Strange Tales #114) -- November 1963
www.superserious616.com
In this episode: Mike and Ed discuss the living legend, Captain America. Or, at least the guy who is impersonating him. Impersonating Capt seems like it would be even easier than impersonating Spider-Man - so why was everyone so eager to believe that the soldier from World War II had returned? And if Captain America truly did return, would he really spend his time selling used cars? Is our society and media truly that naive, or is it that the symbol of Captain America is so powerful that we refused to give voice to our doubts? Also, should the government create a new Captain America, if only as a symbol, or would that be insulting to the original? If we need a new name for a new icon, what should the name be?
