Well, sure. Take away the fact that he's not an alien, he can't fly, he doesn't have heat vision, he doesn't have super breath, he's not invulnerable, he's not super fast or strong...
Sure, take all that away, and he's exactly like Superman. So is Napoleon Dynamite.
Nah, I get what you're saying. His character is kind of similar to Superman. However, Superman's not a soldier, and Captain America is nothing but. When Superman's leading a team, he generally doesn't come up with the plans for them, Batman does. He's just the most powerful, so he ends up being the point of the spear. Even if Captain America is dramatically outclassed in power on his own team, everyone follows his instructions because of his experience. Superman is an inspiration. Cap is that AND a leader. So while they may have many moral similarities, you have to keep something in mind: Clark Kent is a guy from Kansas. Take away all his powers, make him human, and he wouldn't be a superhero, he'd be a farmer. He didn't choose this life, he just accepted it. Steve Rogers WANTED to help his country, and was determined to find a way to do it. The result was him becoming a supersoldier. He actively sought out and chose the life he's lived. That's a very big difference of character that goes down to their very cores. So from a moral standpoint, are they similar? Sure. They have the same morals as most superheroes. Are they similar personality wise? Eh, I personally don't think so, but an argument could definitely be made against me.
Agreed. Captain America is his own being. He has similarities sure, but give me an hour and I can make a case Harley Quinn and Thor being similar in some function or another. The biggest thing they have in common is how people look up to them "particularly in times of crisis".
I agree with these two. They are similar in that they are both great american heros and they are both inspirational but if you ask me he is more similar to batman
