[QUOTE="billd91, post: 6338363, member: 3400"] Sadly, I think the time for that has passed. Back in the 1960s, when Cap was revived, it would have made great sense and I think the Cap of that timeline came to really reflect a lot of the values of 1960s liberal America. While he was occasionally written with a view toward reflexive patriotism and national security, in the main he did come to stand for a more liberal view of freedom and justice. But then, he was being written through America's experiences of the 1960s, civil rights movements, a disillusioning Vietnam War, the growth of legal protection for civil liberties, and written in a city that's a bulwark of liberal politics. It would be totally in character. The trouble with doing something like that again and writing a comic putting Cap with MLK is it looks like some kind of revisionism to do that with the main timeline Cap. It might fit, but it would look awkward. Also, doing so would draw attention to the contrast between main timeline Cap and the Cap of the current movies. In the movies, he's been in suspended animation and out of action for 70 years. He's a [b]real[/b] man out of time, far more than the main timeline Cap ever was despite attempts to really portray him as one in the 1960s. He was only out of action 20 years. I just don't see them doing something along those lines. I'm not even sure the current writers would feel they had the same credibility to do it as the bullpen from the 1960s would have had (had they thought of it). [/QUOTE]
