Well, then I guess that rules out Captain America. During the 1970s, he became a self-hating, bleeding heart liberal.

Yeah, right? What's up with that? Here you have a guy who enlisted into the Army to fight the Germans during WW II, and ends up being trained by the military to be a super soldier. Yet he suddenly develops a problem with killing bad guys? Even when he has to? Even when they're genocidal madmen? Did I miss something, because that just doesn't sound right. That Steve Rogers guy must've been real damn naive if he thought he'd be able to fight the Germans without actually killing any of them (And he enlisted without knowing that he'd become Captain America, so he must've expected to have been issued a gun with which he's supposed to shoot the enemy).

Even AFTER he becomes Captain America, the guy was STILL trained by the military. They sure as hell didn't teach him not to kill the enemy. So what the hell happened?

I am ashamed of the post-Sept 11th Cap America comics. The first issue where he takes up the shield again, he has an obligatory liberal scene where he protects an Arab guy from getting attacked by someone whose wife died in the WTC. Of course, I don't advocate stabbing people because they look like those that did you wrong, but what was the POINT? They made THAT scene the most dramatic(fantastic artwork and pose)

Now he's living in some poor-ass neighborhood in NYC, and he gets the gangs to give up their guns, telling them (you dont need those now that I'm here--or some such nonsense) No, gangmembers shouldn't have guns, but what a leftist way of putting it! OF course, they listen to him(though I would too)I won't be surprised if Cap America next urges the Pres to sign the Kyoto Treaty...AARRRGH!
