Report: Captain America dies on the page
NEW YORK - Captain America has undertaken his last mission — at least for now.
The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported. On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse.
It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941. Over the years, some 210 million copies of Captain America comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in 75 countries.
But resurrections are not unknown in the world of comics, and Marvel Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada said a Captain America comeback wasn't impossible.
Still, the character's death came as a blow to co-creator Joe Simon.
"We really need him now," said Simon, 93, who worked with artist Jack Kirby to devise Captain America as a foe for Adolf Hitler.
The superhero was spawned when a scrawny arts student named Steve Rogers, ineligible for the army because of his poor health but eager to serve his country, agreed to a "Super Soldier Serum" injection. The substance made him a paragon of physical perfection, armed only with his shield, his strength, his smarts and a command of martial arts.
In the comic-book universe, death is not always final. But even if Captain America turns out to have met his end in print, he may not disappear entirely: Marvel is developing a Captain America movie.

Interesting how he only became powerful after an injection of a foreign substance...

Nuff said.

what in the hell? This version of Captain America is Steve Rogers, he was the original who was created in the 40's. The character was "frozen" in an iceberg or something until the 60's when he was revived and made a member of the avengers. I don't believe there ever was a black Cap. There was a time in the late 80's where steve rogers quit and was replaced by a guy who would eventually go on to be a character named USAgent and Rogers would reclaim his title.
Cap had a sidekick in the 40's named Bucky....I think there was a black version of that character somewhere along the line.
marvel tried to make a movie for Cap-and the fantastic four for that matter in the early 90's, both movies were so bad they were never even released to video-there are some clips up on youtube of these and they are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Bah! That fool was nothing without steroids.
Doom disapproves.

oh he'll come back. his series will continue after his death, and i'm pretty sure that this event is just a red herring after Civil War crossover. in comic book world, one big event leads to another big event, which leads to smaller consequences and eventually the preview big events are pushed aside for the next big event. this death of captain america thing is just another ongoing story to be used a device to get the Marvel Universe back in order again, then he'll come back months later. you'll see

The whole series is just a cheap copy of "The Watchmen" which is the greatest graphic novel (comic books?) ever created.

That's easy. He was originally going to use the Archie Comics super heroes and do a sort of mystery thriller.

Marvel says there is a movie in the work for Captain A

son of a bitch!!! I didn't think anyone could possibly know that..you mother fucker ;D ;D ;D
ahhhh...the archie comic super hero's, all those great characters just sitting in limbo, what I could do with them if I had time....and who is thier patriotic superhero that debuted a few months before Captain America-If I'm not mistaken. This guy was turned to stone in the 60's and restored in the 80's much like the cap storyline where he was frozen in the 40's and brought back in the 60's.

There already was a really good one in the early 90's!!

marvel did a Cap movie, a fantastic four movie and a punisher movie in the early 90's, the cap movie used to be on youtube, don't know if it still is but it was terrible, they were so embarrased by it they didn't even release it on video...same with the FF movie.
