No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Yep, Black Summer a bit more on the epic ultra-violence while Sellouts was more cosmic, I think...

Haven't read Black Summer, but Sellouts...dude, Supershock burned down the Vatican and laid waste to the Gaza Strip.

Pretty ultra-violent.

(Not, you know...Miracleman #15 Johnny Bates personally wastes half of London one person at a time ultra-violent, but...)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Captain America? Having fun? I never got that vibe off him. He's a little wonderbread for me.

When listing parodic heroes, don't forget Lobo.

My awesomest heroes include Storm (although I've gone off her since the OOC Black Panther thing), Martha Washington, Wolverine, Longshot (there's a man who didn't know how to not have fun), Batman, and Batgirl (the Cassandra Cain pre-evil incarnation).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, Captain America doesn't have fun.

Captain Marvel does.

Also, Captain Marvel has, so far, not been assassinated.

I have no idea how I managed to read just the last Captain reference in your post as America, and the rest as Marvel.

I guess that means I should go home for a nap, right?

I was delighted to learn that taking the vegetables I'd used to make veggie broth and pureeing them with cream and water makes a very bright and tasty soup. And by bright I mean pointedly unsalted. Very nice indeed.

Eh. It happens. Too many "Captain" heroes.

What we need is more heroes with different ranks.

Sure, you got your Sergeant Rock and Sergeant Steel and Major Force...we need to explore the lower rank structures.

Ensign Awesome. Private First Class Power Dude. Midshipman Maximum. Chief Petty Officer Omnipotent. Things like that.
