"Pure", is this another white supremecy thread? ???
-
or pure as in he isnt tempted by sins of the flesh?
-
Steve Rogers is the most idealistic super hero ever... No one can follow the standard he sets, it is impossible.
That's what makes him Captain America though... No one else truly can be.

let me axe you something, why white folks got to be so racist? ???

A fine example to attempt to emulate.

You say pure. I say roid junkie will a "fabulous" fashion sense. ;)

this thread is pure gay and naive

I heard he developed a crush on Thor. Inside he's still a scrawny runt and so he has a thing for the son of a God who represents everything his inner scrawny runt wishes it could be.
He's quite a complicated, somewhat sad character really.
-
Tough one. I think of 'pure' heroes, the first one to come to mind is Captain Marvel. Maybe I'm confusing pure with idealistic - but I think they go together.

There have been several Caps over the years. Also, they're juiced to the gills with PED, or what smoke n mirrors term "super soldier serum".
Maybe Lance Armstrong is the real life Captain America.

They have all had their turns TRYING to be Captain America... None of them can do it.
Also... The Serum and the connection to drugs was extensively covered in the "Streets of Poison" storyline...
If you haven't read it, I suggest you give it a go... There's even a trade paperback of it available I believe.

Oh, and Supes isn't the most idealistic super hero ever? Supes almost seemingly was thought up by a 4 yr old "I am invincible times Infinity."
At least Capt has some sort of grounding in reality or real world terms...

a true WASP is Mr. Steve Rodgers 8)

Great answer. But the only reason Captain Marvel isn't listed is because he is not as famous as the other heroes; Superman, Batman, or Spider-man. Back in the 40's CM was the most popular and who I think was the greatest superhero ever, today not so much. A movie is still in the development stage and will be out in a few years, that is what CM needs to come back into the limelight!

I'd love to see it but I'd be worried about how he gets portrayed. I think he's like Sir Galahad - the purest of the pure - because he's what a young kid imagines a superhero to be. But I don't really agree with the writers who put that young kids mind into Captain Marvel.
To me, he's an adult, but a very innocent one. He's not a kid in a superhuman body though, and he should be able to think like an adult. He's the guy who every woman's mother wants them to marry, but not necessarily the women themselves. He'd be friendzone or big brother material straightaway - (at least until Billy Batson started growing older).
Both Captain America and Superman I think have bit more ....not masculinity, but maybe, sexuality about them? I can see chicks wanting them. I can't see it with Marvel - despite him being Supe's equal. Like I said, maybe I'm confusing 'pure' with 'idealistic' - but I reckon they come together. How else would a kid view an adult superman?
Marvel - he's the purest hero in my book.

Fantastic answer and all true. You have the wisdom of a true supa dupa...

How they portrayed him in the Justice League was about as good as can be... Superman / Shazam was also good.
I think Steve Rogers as Captain America is even greater than Captain Marvel BECAUSE he's faced horrible adversity and still holds his ideals up.
Captain Marvel is naive and that's due to his true age... Steve Rogers has dealt with evil horrible things, and seen all kinds of shit, but still holds his ideals up.
That's what makes a hero.

Pure as in no gamma or cosmic radiation in the blood/cells.

Pure as in not consumed by lust for another superhero.
-
Captain America never had any lust for anything, he was 100 % pure.
He didn't even smoke or drink.
Always did what was right.
-
And he was always an inspiration for it among his peers.

I think he and Black Widow had a thing going on... (Mrs., Mrs. Jones...We had a thing...going on)
-
Steve Roger also was a huge fan of Forced Reps, Kale Greens and the Johnny Falcon-workout, and also shared his philosophy.
He was no stranger to Jethro Tull-workouts.

he had an unrequited passion for the blonde paragon, thor - it was quite sad, really.

was black widow a black chick?
coz as we all know, black ckicks like big dicks

The difference between Cap and Superman or Captain Marvel is that he can easily die, those two can't.
He puts himself out there knowing he is just a human while leading the super-human's too vicotry.
Only Cap can do this (even Batman steps back and follows him)

True... Batman also has gone on record as saying that Captain America is a more gifted fighter and while a fight between them may go on for hours, in the end, the Star Spangled Super Solder would prevail.

Yup, he is physically superior to Batman in every way. And although they are pretty even in terms of fighting skills, Cap is the superior athlete...due to the super-solider serum of course.

have you done any focus on the Defenders or on Nighthawk?

Nighthawk would be interesting!

Yes - Nighthawk doesn't come up very often.
Very true about Cap. He's only meat, but he never lets that stop him.
