Captain America (comics)/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Cap is one of the friendliest, most easygoing guys you'll ever meet. Granted, once you piss him off...

* [[Big Good]]

* [[Cannot Talk to Women]]: Sometimes...

* [[The Cape]]

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: There is a reason why Steve's the moral center of the [[Marvel Universe]].

* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]] -- Cap's shield is pretty much unbreakable and invincible. It also serves for both offense and defense, since Cap can throw it to attack his enemies from long range or beat them with it in close combat. Its unique alloy even makes it able to damage enemies that might otherwise be immune to physical harm-the iron in it is harmful to demons, the vibranium causes pain to energy-based creatures, etc.

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]] -- Abraham Erskine, the scientist who enhanced him, was killed by a Nazi spy just as he completed the process. The secret of creating super-soldiers died with him.

=== Demolition Man (Dennis Dunphy) ===

* [[Alliterative Name]]: His real name as well as Demolition Dunphy

* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: They gave him his powers, but messed him up bad.

* [[Hollywood Heart Attack]]

* [[Legacy Character]]: To Captain America, before his [[Divergent Character Evolution]].

* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]

* [[Smug Super]]: As Super-Patriot.

* [[Super Soldier]]

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Thematically, one could argue that Crossbones is similar to Bucky or Nomad in that they're both devoted sidekicks to the Skull and Captain America, respectively.

* [[Patrick Stewart Speech]]: Horrifically inverted when the Red Skull is feeling depressed and Crossbones tries to cheer him up by reminding him of all his evil accomplishments.

* [[Skeletons in The Coat Closet]]

* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: They aren't married, but Crossbones and Sin have a thing for each other.
