Any idea who it is? I haven't followed him.

I think I prefer the old costume

I personally like the look of the costume. Has a new age feel to it while still loyal to the original look.

I do like the costume, visually, but giving Cap a gun AND a knife?!?

Man, it's reasons like that that I remain lukewarm towards Marvel.

Captain America doesn't live if it's not Steve Rogers.

It's probably Winter Solider in that costume...

Ugh. Why, oh why, did Alex Ross have to get involved? Eww.


In any case, I'm reasonably sure that this is a placeholder Cap, to remind us why the real Cap is so great. I predict that the real Cap is back for issue #50.

The new costume looks too shiny. There are elements I like about it, thought the top part just looks like part of a uniform that goes over the rest, and the rest ain't there, even though the normal jumpsuit look underneath is kinda neat, it just seems contradictory with the shint top.

If anyone has been reading Captain America: The Chosen, it looks as if they're picking a random soldier from the army to be the new Cap. It may not be Bucky or Hawkeye or any of the other names being thrown around. At least the Punisher Cap is done with.

"Captain America: The Chosen" is not in continuity. It's basically "Captain America: The End", the problem is that it came out right after Cap was shot, so Marvel changed the name. What's going on in the monthly book is entirely separate. Most likely it's Winter Soldier. Though don't forget that Cap did use a machine gun back during WW II. He only stopped when he joined the Avengers, because the team was opposed to using lethal force and he was no longer fond of having to do so either.

If I were marvel I'd set this new Cap up to be this huge facist villain that quite nearly takes over the Earth. At some point Steve Rodgers makes his return. But years must pass.

Personally, the Ultimate version of the Captain America costume is a better update than this one.

I'm hoping this Cap is more in-line with Steve Rogers than the jingoistic Cap of the Ultimates.
