His death is sure to ignite controversy in the comic book world - still reeling from Superman's death in 1993 and resurrection the following year - and even political pundits, who may see Captain America's demise as an allegory for the United States. "It's a hell of a time for him to go. We really need him now," said co-creator Joe Simon, 93, after being informed of his brainchild's death. '
Let this be a lesson to all you superhero crimefighters: Bulletproof Vests!
RIP Captain America.
Oh well, at least we still have Cap'n Crunch.
