Wow, and they killed him off in such an Un-super way.
I dunno, I thought it was pretty fitting for one of "America's" [fictional] leaders.Aazealh said:
But I agree, for a comic book, it's a pretty anti-climactic end, considering all the shit he's been through... I mean he was in World War II and who knows what other superhero bullshit since.
For all you comic nerds out there, this is the traditional Marvel timeline, correct? I assume ULTIMATES Cap is still around.

The location of agony? The human soul.
From what I understand, Ultimate Cap is still around, but the guys at Marvel have gone on record saying he WILL NEVER RETURN (ominous drum roll) in the tradtional Marvel universe.
We'll see how long that lasts.
I for one thought it was a interesting way to go, and is a comment on how the old values and ideas of America, everything capt. America (still) stood for is most definately, dead.

That's what I meant, it was supposed to be a meaningless death. But I'm probably giving them too much credit.
Yeah, Ultimate Cap is a tool! Maybe he'll get better.

Bah. Its just evolving to the big screen like all the other comic book stories with it.
"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 has said it is developing a Captain America movie."
Besides, a real captain america has emerged!

Its Randy Couture, nicknamed captain america, known to still kick people's asses at 42 years old in the UFC.This is why I stopped reading continuations of comics, well, that and a lack of money to fund 10 different series for $30-$50 a month. Superman,Batman,Captain America-Fantastic Four-Hulk-Iron Man-Doctor Doom (see Onslaught) Aunt May...they all "die" only to be resurrected, sometimes in the most stupid of ways (...Aunt May. Such a good death, but let's say she was just an actress, not the real one. Yeah.)
Not only does it ruin the possible impact of the death no matter how well written, you lose a connection to the character. Its bad enough knowing that the "good" heroes of fiction can't possibly "lose" in an eternal sense, but to add cheating actual death? It makes their returns completely null. It just reminds you of the typical "I'm really gonna kill myself now, Really!"
As for the topic...again, "HEADSHOT"...not exactly what I would call a perfect send off. Wolverine's already invincible to nuclear weapons, its nice to see that apparently all it takes to off half a century old comic icons is a bullet to the head.

Bummer, and such a cool hero too
So is this like 25 percent of the Marvelverse died taking down Onslaught?
