Marvel Teases A NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA. I Got $5 On Foggy

This is what happens when you read only like five Marvel comic books like me. You have no idea that there is even the necessity for a new Captain America, because you don’t know that Steve Rogers has lost his Super Soldier Serum. People are saying it may be Falcon. FWIW THOUGH? Bucky Barnes and his Robot Arm are The Shield’s OTP.

“Who will be Marvel comics’ NEW #CaptainAmerica? Learn more this Monday on Marvel.com! #4thOfJuly,” the post reads.

As “Captain America” writer Rick Remenderdiscussed with Comic Book Resources last month, Steve Rogers had the super soldier serum sucked out of his body by the villain Iron Nail in issue #21.

“Steve is no longer going to be in the field,” Remender said. “That will lead to some interesting changes in the next three to four issues as we discover who will be on the field.”

This isn’t the first time someone besides Rogers has worn the uniform, as five other men have also worn the mantle, including Isaiah Bradley, William Nasland, William Burnside, John Walker and James Barnes. Barnes, the most recent, wore the uniform after Rogers was assassinated following “Civil War.”

Update: As several readers have noted, the cover to “Avengers” #35, which shows the Avengers eight months in the future, features a different Captain America who looks suspiciously like the Falcon: [CBR]
