#CaptainAmerica #FalconandtheWinterSoldier #USAgent
Personally, I think Sam and Bucky were the best successors. They each embodied the ideals that Steve inspired in them to the best of their ability. Even though they differ in methods, they both did their best to honor his legacy during their runs with that shield.
Most certainly agree with that!
completely agree!
but let's be honest, there is only one true Captain America. only one who is worthy of both shield and the hammer of the God of thunder. One who does not represent neither country nor government but the ideals of America. the first avenger and a true Sentinel of liberty.
And they survived. Lol.
Bucky? I mean isn't he too removed from the american experience after the whole cold war thing?
@@wyldshot666 ⁰
The story is pretty much: Steve leaves/dies, someone else takes the roll, Steve returned, takes back the roll.
Role*
I will see myself out
@@Dipp182 I mean, I don't know anyone who would misspell the word role in this day and age... but here we are.
That is exactly
Yea they were rolling off the molly
welcome to the arc of pretty much every popular super hero.
When I first got into comic at the age of 10 John Walker/U.S. Agent was and still is one of my favorite non Steve Rogers Captain American, so when Disney first leaked that John Walker coming to the MCU I was hyped.
Me too John is a surprisingly capable Captain America
The fight between Cap and Super Patriot (John Walker) was one of my favorites of all time. Even though Rogers was physically weaker than Walker, he held his own and pushed himself to the maximum. Walker is in the Spider-Man class of strength, yet Cap did well against him.
Yes despite Walker being stronger he wasn't as good as Rogers in hand-to-hand combat... What an epic fight.
Walker is theoretically above what Spider Man's pfficial stats were by 10-25 tons (spidey is usually 10-25 with Walker and most other Power Broker process people at 35, but marvel is never quite consistent there)
U.S. Agent is back!
Long live the
Red, White, and Black!
My favorite replacement has always been John Walker. He was an American bad ass and a more hard-line Captain America. Steve Rogers will always be my true Captain America, and John Walker my one and only U.S.Agent but I wouldn't mind seeing in the comics that John Walker given another round as Captain America. A year long story line would be good and this time doing a great job at it, but he gets pissed to easy and always ready for a fight, so I'm not sure if they would even let him be Cap again. I remember back in 2014 or 2015 I was trying to check on wiki and fandom about U.S. Agent and see if there was anything in print. It was like Marvel had left him dormant for several years. Being one of my favorite characters I am just glad he's back in the spotlight again. There's a current (as of March 2020) comic series with issue #4 to release soon. I do hope they never give him back that silly Judge Dredd costume helmet, it was lame. I wasn't quite the fan of his Force Works costume either lame
John Walker's Red, White, and Black costume is what works, so I hope he sticks to it. The only other way I would like to see Walker is maybe a costume similar to his original Super Patriot get-up before he became Captain. The Falcons Captain America costume was actually fashioned after it with the star in a circle in the middle of the chest and the lines on the ribs. Walker's had red in it though. So if my ol American bad ass John Walker gets another round as Captain in the comics, i hope it's not just a Strve Rodgers costume, but instead with an updated version of his Super Patriot get-up or based on it and similarly mixed with the style of Falcons Captain American costume.
U.S.Agent is back!
Long live
Red, White, and Black!
The Chris Priest era costume with the star revealed by a jacket flap is pretty outstanding.
Walker get's misused as many of the (at the time) legacy characters do. He has had some really nice character growth, only to constantly be rewritten as a joke character of a symbol of everything the main super hero shouldn't be. I think one of the only ones of the time to escape the fate was War Machine, but he is often under written as a result.
@@Lazrael32 for a long time I have thought that a U.S. Agent & War Machine title would be a good book. Even as a limited series... Why, idk but I would definitely buy it like a CAKE pen sold in a state where it's not legalized (yet)
01) William Naslund (Spirit of '76)
02) Jeffrey Mace (The Patriot)
03) William Burnside (Grand Director)
04) Bob Russo
05) John Walker (Super Patriot/US Agent)
06) James Barnes (Bucky/Winter Soldier)
07) Sam Wilson (The Falcon)

Thanks for the list!
@@kylemaximusmith Happy to help 😁
9:52 I think the funniest low blow with Steve now a hydra sleeper agent was him actually hiring John Walker to arrest the shield away from Sam.
Everyone else decided to be Cap but Sam was Steve’s choice, that says everything!
When cap died during civil war, he gave tony a letter saying that bucky should continue the roll, so both he and sam were chosen by steve. Bucky didn’t even want it at first, but felt obligated to fulfill his dead friend’s wish. Im not sure what issue it was exactly but it happened during the death of captain america storyline.
Sam as Captain America = A Captain America that has no super serum and no human rights.
@@the_all-father 😐😑😐😑😐😑😐
@@the_all-father ... You're absolutely right... But Sam does have mad skills... but I think one of the main, how can I put it... Qualifications, for being Captain America is to just be a good person/with a good heart!!!
I love how Steve Rogers even though being Captain America may conflict with his ideals he upholds, he refuses to sway on his beliefs even if it means giving up his beloved shield and costume! I really respect that about him how no matter what he sticks to his beliefs and will not sway in his ideals! I loved the time when he became the USAgent, which I wish the MCU would touch upon in a sort of flashback movie of Captain America! One of my all time favorites was seeing Sam Wilson as the new Captain America is awesome! I don't even care that he is black which is why most people love this version Capt. America, for me it was seeing the character evolve and utilizing a version of the costume mixed between Falcon and Captain America, and him being able to fly and have wings and still using Cap's shield was just awesome for me it brought all new powers and a new dynamic to an old character and brought new life to the character, but there is undoubtably something nostalgic about Steve Rogers and no one can completely fill his shoes perfectly but for me Sam Wilson comes very close! The only other one that would even come close to me would be Bucky, but I love the whole Winter Soldier persona that he has being a Russian sleeper, double agent kinda thing going on!
Steve Rogers = The Captain
John Walker = US Agent
That's how I remember it!
One little nit-pic, only because I love the character of Captain America. Sam Wilson did briefly wear the uniform and shield of Captain America during Priest's run of the comic Captain America and Falcon. People forget about that, but it happened before. Aside from that, great video, thank you.
Do you know what issue if I may ask?
I love how they played Hydra Cap in the MCU, as he did it to get the scepter lmao
"Hail Hydra..."
how I don't remember
The four issue "Captain America- Patriot" mini series is a favorite of mine. It gave Jeff Mace a lot of characterization and respect. I wish Marvel had done more with his team, The Liberty Legion. Also, I wish Marvel would bring Jack Monroe back from the dead. I think he deserved better.
yooo you didn´t left anyone out, another awesome video my man keep it up
I'm totally waiting for someone to point out one I forgot but I think I got them all!
@@MerryMarvelite You are a human library of Marvel comics hahaha im sure you got em all
MerryMarvelite amazing accuracy
Learned a great deal with this video. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Much ❤ as always
Captain America 2099 is pretty hilarious 😂😂
I don't get it, year 2099 characters are confusion
It was tight but lol
Lol seems like a meme to me lol
The whole 2099 series was kind of funny back in the day
Why?
I think bucky is the best choice as steves successor considering he was his sidekick, also is a super soldier, and has a vibranium arm to throw a vibranium shield.
Lots of murder and assassination and mental issues with brainwashing and his more pessimistic nature im gonna say nah Sam is the best choice
@@issa4767 Sam is not white
@@Ivan-hb3co well i have been told that automatically disqualifies him. "Captain America isn't black" well he gon be black today!
@@issa4767 its Captain Africa then
@@Ivan-hb3co See Sam Wilson was born in the United States. So while i see how you could be confused. Captain America if given to same will be a tittle held by an American
Wow!! I didn’t know it was that many people! And I consider myself a Marvel fan from the 70s!!
I'd say the replacement Spirit of 76, Patriot, and 50's Cap is one of the best retcons. It didn't really undo any past story. It just changed it a little
I enjoyed that issue of What If because it really was a What Did (happen)
A very good and consice sum-up, great job ! We can see the love that we share for this media that with the time become more than just fiction...😊
Love the narration
Me too
Me three
Me four
We can do this all day
Cool episode. Thank you.
Damn i had no idea😭😭 no lie if i was in the comic book world...hearing he died or retired id pay that shit no mind after like the 3rd time lmao
That was Wilson's second time as Captain America. He briefly took it in the 90s when Rogers was MIA.
What comic specifically? Any image links?
Very thorough good job.
Brilliant. This channel gets better and better.
US Agent (John Walker) is an overlooked character. He's flawed but that's the point. He is an example of dressing up as Cap may be easy, however, being him isn't. I like Bucky and Sam yet they are their own people and can't be expected to be exactly like Steve Rogers.
Steve is the best Cap, However Sam Wilson right after that...
Hell yeah. I want to see sam as cap. I just made a vid about John Walker US Agent cap and he’s pretty interesting but the shield belongs to Sam now.
I liked more that Wintersoldier as Captain America, he was his Replacment in the What if story What if Cap didnt die in WII ...interesting Story
I'd say I enjoy bucky cap the most the level of conflict in him and Sam about carrying the shield makes for good personal stories.
HaydonB HaydonB yeah
@@BrendanFerrisFilms no.
Bucky Barnes aka Winter Soldier is my favorite replacement Cap. And although I didn't like John Walker stint as Captain America, I am an US Agent fan.
You really do your homework.
I always loved the Castle/Rogers dynamic. Rogers hated everything Castle did while Castle never turned cynical against Rogers because Rogers represented what he wished people would be but never would be. Even when Rogers was beating the living shit out of Castle in Civil War Castle refused to fight back.
Steve is Captain America! The GOAT
Great vid!
Cool
Yeah
Should also do an origin of Battlestar
The William Burnside storyline, from Captain America 152-156, is one of my favorites. One of the best from the 1970's.
I actually like William Burnside as Captain America.
I've learned so much from this video thank you
Sam and Bucky, they are the people who saw Steve. Bucky Barnes also was able to lift Mjolnir in Fear Itself. Sam was able to lift Mjolnir in one of the events. Lifting Mjolnir is the ultimate test for a Captain America.
Though it’s PERFECT, I MEAN PERFECT, that Luke and Jessica’s daughter becomes Captain America (for two Decades it has been an ongoing gag that Luke is pissed that his daughter isn’t wearing his gear or has his posters)
I believe Isaiah was just after steve
You are totally right and I absolutely messed that up here! However, I think Isaiah is worthy of a video of his own so stay tuned!
I hate that the title of Captain America has been "bestowed" upon so many characters. But as much as I love them, that's what Marvel does. Steve Rogers forever.
Almost like Robin I feel like. I just made a vid about the new Cap actually. He’s interesting. But I really want Sam to take up the shield
So many changes in the comics and noone says a thing... John walker comes in Tfatws as cap... The world loses its mind.... Well that really was the impact of Evans' performance as Steve rogers!! Salute.... And yaa marvel has hands down done a splendid job of casting wyatt russell and portraying the evil side of "new cap" or USAgent!!!
Hi never been this early :)
NO ONE replaces Steve Rogers as Captain America they just pretend.
It's just a name/title.
Exactly. I just made a vid about the new Cap actually and what I think is going on in the series. If you want to check it out. Who’s your favourite MCU character ?
hey speak for yourself, Sam Wilson is great!
@@MattMelon519 I do speak for myself. Sam Wilson is great! He's the FALCON!
THX..............!!!
Steve Rogers is the better captain America then John Walker. 😀👍
Yes he is. I made a quick vid about John Walker if you want to check it out. I talk about how I think he will be involved in the MCU
@@BrendanFerrisFilms ok I will check it out. 😀👍
James Moss hey thanks man 🙏
@@BrendanFerrisFilms your welcome and I did my first UA-cam movie review two months ago go and check it out. 😀👍
James Moss nice. Will do
Captain America has too many people trying to be him. In the the show Falcon and Winter Soldier Zeemo says something like if people have super soldier serum they can make teams like the Avengers and things could go wrong. Well after watching this Zeemo is on to something. There are too many Captain America's that are not Rogers
isaiah bradley was not the first captain america, he was made post steve rogers
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for explaining
Bravo!
My only problem with Sam becoming cap was they needed a new falcon.
In the comics, Torres becomes the next Falcon.
Sam sucked as Cap and I'm black
@@ghost_kinggamer I like the actor playing Sam, cap is such a serious character that the actor is forced to be card board. I am happy to see him get to have a personality as Sam, instead of having to be a star spangled mannequin.
@@harrypothead42024 Yeah Mackie plays a better Cap version of Sam than the comic one
@@ghost_kinggamerWhen the Veterans therapist is needlessly brutal to a greiving veteran and simps for a murdering terrorist.
Walker sounds familiar
Powerbreaker
I think I have got the plot of falcon and the winter soldier series
yes
Thanks for this
Chis Evans will always be my favorite CAPTAIN AMERICA. I hope he comes back in a CAPTAIN AMERICA RETURNS, film. It would make a mega Fortune.
Steve Rogers from the 1970's was the best version of Captain America.
Can you do history of Namor the Submariner, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Annihilus, the Badoon and the Broods?
Updated my list, not including ulternate universes. Just the ones between Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson:
History of Captain America:
01) Steve Rogers/Nomad/The Captain
02) William Nasland/Spirit of '76
03) Jeffrey Mace/The Patriot
04) William Burnside/Grand Director
05) Roscoe Simmons/N/A
06) John Walker/SuperPatriot/US Agent
07) James Barnes/Bucky/WinterSoldier
08) Sam Willson/ "Snap"/The Falcon
Honorable Mention:
-Isaiah Bradley
-“Scar” Turpin
-Bob Russo
Thanks for clearing up
Have you done a Flagsmasher episode?
The Nomad costume tho.
Right? That was rough
Wow, that is a lot of people who wore the Mantel of Captain America
Apart from the US Agent, Falcon and Winter Soldier, What would happen if we saw these replacements of Captain America in the MCU during the time where Steve Rodgers was trapped in the ice?
The first Captain America had a different Shield !!!
Doesn't Vance "Major Victory" Astro get an honourable mention at least? He used the original Cap's shield when he was in the guardians of the galaxy and even travelled back in time to train with Cap.
I wanted to focus on people who have actually used the name Captain America, particularly in the 616, but Major Victory is super cool and I'd love to talk about the Guardians 3000 some day!
For me, it's Sam and Bucky Barnes.
Steve and Sam ftw.
Damn 3:36 feels like real world stuff going on now
Some people hate change but oh well I'm loving the direction Marvel's going
Dude getting plastic surgery to look like cap and then shooting up back alley super soldier serum only to go crazy and get locked up is fucking hilarious wtf lmfao
Reverse Flash be like: let me introduce myself
Just one little nit-pic it's Bucky Barnes not Burns. It's a common mistake I used to make it too.
I really wish comics would drop the “I quit” and “I died” trope. It just seems like lazy writing. I liked the idea of the fill ins after Cap disappeared and was presumed dead during the 1950’s but modern era comics use death as a weak plot point. How many characters have died and then returned within months? For me whenever I hear of a character switch, I just roll my eyes now.
Awesome
My favorite cap other than Steve is Bucky Barnes, it’s like who could replace Bruce Wayne as Batman, I’d pick Dick Grayson.
She didn’t replace Cap but I would like to see a video about American Dream.
My favourite Cap is, and always will be, Steve Rogers. He is portrayed as the hero that all other heroes emulate, and with good reason. He is a good man, who always tries to do what is right. He is at his worst when he forgets his ideals, and at his very best, when following them.
I’m sure there will come a time in the regular continuity when Steve is no longer Captain America, but I hope they never forget him. He embodies everything good in humanity.
Cap is my favourite hero, just edging out Spider-Man and Batman.
Oh, I should mention that I have been a comics fan for the majority of my 51 years, and remember the first thing I ever read was a Newtown Comics, black and white edition, of Avengers #1, at the tender age of four (I was a very early reader). Also, I am Australian (If Newton Comics did not already give that away).
While his name might be Captain *America*, his ideals and appeal are universal (for the western world, at any rate... :) ).
The serum wasn't what kept Cap young, thr cryo did, the serum just let him survive it! He had had it neutralized many times before without aging. The author mixed him up woth Nick Fury
Fun fact lamar Hoskins is the same guy who works with the new captain America/USAgent in falcon and the winter solider
My favorite Captain America? The original Steven Rogers
Wow- that’s a long list!
My head spins😶😵😫
I think the William Burnside story would have been better if the Patriot had come out of retirement to stop him. John Steele would have been a good choice to stop Burnside and assume the role. I was also surprised that the howling commandoes didn't get involved.
6:24 , 7:50 , 9:12
My favorite ones❗️👏🏼🇺🇸
This title is amazing no one complained when they replace Cap with John Walker but so many ppl were upset when they replace him with falcon
OOH YEAH MY PARENTS KANE KEKE AND OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS REMEMBER THEM ALL
Steve Rogers
A lot more replacements than we realized
So... we can wait for Chris Evan to return as Cap one day in MCU :))
Who are you going to do history of in your next video between US Agent and Batroc the Leaper since they appeared in the first episode of the Falcon and Winter Soldier TV show?
#nice
There really IS only one Captain America, Steve Rogers.
You skipped the sentinel of liberty issue where Falcon first becomes Captain America after believing Steve died (marvel likes to use groundbreaking ideas that they.... already did before (and often better). I always thought Falcon was a great choice. I have mixed feelings of him retaining his falcon wings when he became Cap again, because it both made him stand out, but also insured everyone would keep thinking "falcon america" instead of captain.
Oh so bc we didn't see Captain America die just really old he could come back
This right here explains it entirely.
Jeff Mace was not officially a Captain America as the Government never gave him the mantel or their blessing to become Captain America after Nasland died.
The second longest Captain America was not a legal Captain America!
Why didn’t the comic artists even attempt to make the suit look cooler and more futuristic over the years until they got a new artist
Because the suit is perfect he's Captain America
Actually - you forgot that the Red Skull became CA after the Cosmic Cube exchanged their consciousness into each others body.
Can you do history of the Squadron Supreme, Young Avengers, the Thunderbolts and the Illuminati?
Wilson being a controversial choice to be Captain America
Me who didn't even need the show to tell me why: hummm.... I wonder why
Is that the bite of 87
