Captain America - The New Avatar





The first details of an approved costume test from Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger have emerged and Mike Sampson (JoBlo), who broke the original story, confirmed that these new images, aren't just fan mockups – these are the real deal. In fact, the Captain will have two different outfits, director Joe Johnston had said earlier. The first is more flashy as the character begins as a troops entertainer with the USO; the second (the one we are seeing here) is more battle-ready and practical and the one worn for most of the film.

Captain America is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics (March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books have been sold in a total of 75 countries. For nearly all of the character's publication history Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.
