Superman. He's about as American as it gets.

Pfft. Don't make me laugh. To be American is to be a citizen of America. In this regard, Superman and Captain America were equal, until Superman renounced his citizenship, because Superman belongs to everyone, even tyrants, warlords and slaughterers the world over. Steve Rogers is proud to be American, while Superman is embarrassed to be associated with that country. Steve was "American" enough to volunteer for military service, not as an invulnerable demi-god, but frail, 90-pound weakling Steve. When he finally got his wish, he served his country with distinction, to the fullest extent of his newly-superhuman ability. Talk to me when Superman puts aside his messiah complex long enough to topple dictators in the name of freedom as Cap has (which he can do easily, heck without killing anyone, whereas Cap had to win victory through blood, sweat and tears).

They say Superman's brave, but he's bulletproof. Cap won respect not by being a "good guy" magnified by incredible powers, but an inspiring leader. It is not powers, but faith and conviction that makes Steve Rogers a god among men.

Freedom ain't free. It's easy to forget that when your powers insulate you from reality, when you split your time between Antarctica and space, and can fly away and leave the world behind in a heartbeat.

@darthmummy: Superman topples dictators that threaten the entire Earth, not just America.

@lamdaddy20: World-saving is the common denominator among super heroes. Difference is, Superman does it because he can. He even noted that he wonders if he would be as brave as Batman without powers. Steve's always had a sense of duty and the will to fight for what's right, regardless of the odds or any powers he might have.

lol, no

Close,very close,Superman wins it out for me by a hair.

Wanting to topple dictators is why he renounced his citizenship in the first place,come back when the U.S.A spends as much effort toppling the House of Saud as Assad,heck even that is being done at the behest of the Sauids' never mind the potential long term implications,you know who are fighting alongside the U.S.A to overthrow Assad? the ISIS and Al-Qaeda. They love dictators who serve their interests and hate those who dont.

@entropy_aegis: Captain America is not the United States. He stands for principles above all else. Without rejecting America (for he still believes in the potential of its people) he is divorced from politics, not a government lackey, but a self-motivated warrior.

Cap has been far more interesting since Brubakers run. Supes has had nothing but mediocre writing since All Star Superman. To me Cap is just more interesting than Supes.

You just confirmed all the stereotypes of the american narcisims,thank you.

Supes

He wears the flag and you'd be surprised at how much people hate America's "principles" a lot more than the country itself.

Nah,most people hate the republicans principles,everytime a democrat is in charge things tend to be better and america doesn't get complaints.You guys are nice,really,just need to be a little less about the individual and a little more about the society :)

@marvete_e_dcnauta: I'm not American. Neither is the idea of liberty, in principle.

Like Captain America, I'm aligned with my government because it's its responsibility to secure the freedom of the people.

Why not both?

@entropy_aegis: Many heroes are hated, so he isn't unique in that regard. But the hate is misplaced. Cap is loyal to his country, which is founded on the noble premise that all men are created equal and have certain unalienable rights, not the personal agenda of some twisted bureaucrat.

As Norman Thomas said, "If you want a symbolic gesture, don't burn the flag; wash it." Superman threw it away. Captain Anerica doesn't give up in its country, even as it's preyed upon by a bloated federal government.
