    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11752 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.

    Why isn't Cap's shield cracked anymore?

    It got cracked during fear itself, fixed and enchanted with uru (but still had the cosmetic damage). What happened. In all the recent comics it's gone. Is it just laziness from a continuity standpoint, or did it get fully repaired?

    Because Fraction isn't writing Cap?

    I just wish Marvel would be more diligent about maintaining continuity. Up until the early 90's they were pretty on top of that stuff, now it's non-stop contradictions.

    I thought it was such a cool detail to have the crack and have it be glued by an uru enhancement. Why would they just throw such a great piece of trivia away?

    Because until the early 90s Marvel only had a few editors who were still able to read everything that came out every month. Now it seems like every book has 5 editors who, somehow, can't be bothered with what's going on in other books.

    So...chalk it up to laziness.

    Because of the stupidity that was Fear Itself?
