Steve, Bucky just a rip of of Robin (Dick Grayson)
Captain America
Character » Captain America appears in 11751 issues.
During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.
Which Do You Prefer: Steve or Bucky
Steve is the preferred choice to carry the shield. But both offer something different, were Steve was more of a symbol for a America. Bucky is a soldier, he doesn't mask the fact that he's willing to use a gun, or kill a villian. He does what has to be done to keep people safe.
They are both good in their own respective ways. Obviously, Steve is the dearest as he's the original. However, I think Bucky has been doing as good of a job as possible with it. It's the same type of situation with Batman: some people like Grayson as Bats, and some don't. I'm in the former category.
To be honest, I don't mind whenever a company kills a character off and brings someone else in for a while, as it makes you realize how irreplaceable some characters are. While Grayson makes an alright Batman, he definitely isn't Bruce. While Bucky makes an alright Captain America, he isn't Steve. Back when Bane broke Bruce's back, Azrael just wasn't as good. Superman's death? The subsequent...what, FOUR Superman spinoffs...they weren't as good.
We need these moments in comic history to make us realize why these characters are the superheroes that they are. Plus, it gives a chance to refresh a series, get new readers into it without making them feel super overwhelmed by all the back history. Once they get into the new stuff, then they go back and start reading the old stuff to play some catch-up.
I think that cap should return just to officially hand down the mantle to bucky and then walk off into the sunset or some other epic ending...
Maybe Captain Commando? You know with a bandana that goes down into a mask, and a camo sleeveless shirt with a star on the chest, and cargo pants with combat boots. And a green shield with a star on it.
Totally going with Steve. I mean he was the Orginal. Like Coke Classic. I do love the stuff that Bucky is and represents. I like how when he first donned the costume it was about trying to live up to the standards Steve Rogers set knowing it was impossbile to achieve. I thought that was very cool.
at the risk of sounding banwagony, Steve is indeed the best captain america. bucky has been doing an excellent job though
Bucky just is to violent for the part i mean he is meant to be Captain America the perfect example of the American way (even though that is like the real america) he just isn't meant to be like that.
Bucky. I love Steve as top cop (plus his new suit is badass), but I want Bucky to stay as Cap longer because it gives Steve time to explore other options when it comes to his hero career. No matter who weilds the shield, Steve is always gonna be Cap so would everybody just give Bucky a chance.
Steve
1. What kind of a superhero name is Bucky
2. Steve is the greatest name ever
3. Nobody can ever beat the original
Steve is the only Captain America.
In every movie, video game, and cartoon adaptation of Captain America it's always going to be Steve Rogers.
Boot Bucky and return it to Steve, dammit.
