    Captain America

    Character » Captain America appears in 11750 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.

    Will Smith to play Captain America???

    This is nonsense.  People have been talking about Cher playing Catwoman in the next Batman movie, but that sure as hell isn't going to happen.  Since casting isn't close to happening yet, this is just an idle rumor created to stir up controversy and fan reaction.

    If they were going to cast someone black to play Cap...they wouldn't be calling him Steve Rogers..This is obviously not happening anyway.We have two black american heroes coming out with movies soon.I'm sure they aren't going to ruin Cap by going overboard and doing another one.

    It's not so much the race that bothers me, its the characters he is known for portraying. I just don't think that the same guy who played in MIB, Wild West, iRobot, I Am Legend, Hancock and others can play Steve Rogers. I mean I know Will Smith is a capable actor, but he's like almost the same guy in just about every movie he plays in and I don't want that guy as Rogers. But dang, it will be tough to find someone who can actually fill those boots.

    The black Super serum guy was Battlestar and he ended up working for Silver Sable as part of her Wild Bunch!  They have all ready done this to Nick Fury, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did it to Cap, they way things have been going at Marvel these past years!  But I think this would be the final nail in the coffin for Marvel!  Secret Invasion isn't going over like they hoped t would and the killing of Cap didn't, either!

    The first black Captain America was Isaiah Bradley and he's the only one who took the Super Soldier serum.Battlestar got his powers from Powerbroker.Nick Fury was black in the movies because he's not really an important character and he is black in the Ultimates....and on top of that they were always using Samuel Jackson's face for Nick Fury in the Ultimates.The Kingpin was black in Daredevil...Nobody cares about him.Cap will be white in the movie...he is too major for Marvel to try a stupid experiment like that.

    That's choice is just as bad as the person who said Michael Phelps should play Aquaman.... Cast actors. No, John Cena is not an actor, he's a wrestler, that's the lowest you can go on the acting totem pole, if anything.

    Lol. If that is true then Wild West = Pursuit of Happiness? I will give you MIB and Wild West as having similar character personalities but every single other movie is completely different.
