RIP THE HUMAN TORCH.

Though I guess no-one ever really stays dead in comics, aside from Gwen Stacy et al. A while ago, Captain America died and got replaced by his believed to be dead sidekick. Which was really awesome because while he was K.I.A he’d become a brainwashed cybernetic assasin for the SOVIETS and had been killing people throughout the Cold War (via cryogenic breaks in between drinks). The only way to redeem himself was to become Captain America. THEN it turns out the original Captain America wasn’t actually dead and he came back and let new Captain America carry on. Then new Captain America supposedly died again. Now old Captain America is back. I kinda hate it, because the original Captain America is boring the same way Superman is boring/he’s too perfect. Except for that one time his shield said a rude word.
