    Were it not for him being introduced in Th e Falcon and Winter Soldier, casual fans would not know about this character. I have the issues for that story and was fascinated how it was presented. Thanks for posting.

    7:12 not entirely true. Steve did track down Isaiah through first identifying those responsible for what happened and made certain ONE of them was punished. Price, the man who shot the army major. He became CEO of Koch industries after the Cold War. Koch was the scientist experimenting on the Nazis version of the serum in that death camp Isaiah broke into. He was also in phenomenal shape for a man his age thanks to some obvious use of their serum. Steve used the back payments that he had received following his resurrection from the ice to buy majority stock in that company to get access to prices military records. He got them declassified and his stooge was willing to verify his culpability because he was a Captain America fan. Unfortunately, he chose to commit suicide rather than face justice. But at least in that small regard Steve made certain that these horrendous actions could never be repeated to anyone again. He may not have been able to help the Bradley family or Isaiah directly, but he did ensure his brothers in arms were avenged.

      It was after Professor Erskine was killed during Steve's origin not before. They had lost most of his work because it was in his head so they had to basically start from scratch.

      Red skull probably would have killed him. He has a habit of killing people he doesn't think is worthy of being Captain America. Any other of Caps rogues he would have mopped the floor with them especially Zola. But Red skull is in a league of his own, he's like the joker mixed with lex luthor but worse because he's a nazi.

    @petebutler5139 2 года назад +2

    No matter how hard I look, I can’t find anything about the controversy this comic series created. It turned the world of Marvel on its head and the many racist/purists were infuriated that their beloved Captain America was defamed by a black guy in the same red white and blue. It was so bad even the media covered it. However, the funny thing about it all is, had there really been an experiment such as this, it would have been performed on poor Black people first before whites, especially during that time in American history as witnessed through the Tuskegee experiment. So it really is more believable that the original Captain America is black, and way more convincing and more truthful to have realized a black Captain America first. “Truth” is my most coveted comic series.

    i'm a white guy and even i was upset about how isaiah was treated. it makes me angry that after all the black community has gone through and still going through and when it comes who continue to treat them all like they are still property or like they are nobodies. this is supposed to be the land of the free and not someone's idea of a neo nazi supporting country.
    optimus prime once stated even to captain america himself that freedom is the right of all sentient beings. something over time and the 4 years trump was in office and created all the chaos and allowed it to continue, it seems people forgot that we are supposed to be the united states of america, not russia, not north korea, not iran. the MF USA. we are supposed to be looking out and taking care of our own no matter what ethnicity or religion they are. even now, between the so called american values we are supposed to be proud of are being used to take away the rights of those who are black, latino or of asian culture by continuing to allow Retrumplicans voting restriction laws all so they can keep their positions of power. we lock them up because they come to our country to escape the horrors of war or being sold into sex traffic shit or how because some fucking idiots who really to blame for the virus getting out of hand deciding to blame china for it all and now people of asian communities are being targeted and told to go back to china by idiots who know nothing and follow what morons like trump, fox news and others say and do. brainwashed fucking idiots.
    we have to come back together strong and united against all of the racist bull shit and show the world and places russia, iran, north korea and among others that we not like them, we are own people free to vote, free to choose what we do in our lives. show them all we still believe in freedom and let them all know that we are still THE MOTHER FUCKING USA.

      Wow. Your statement didn't age well at all. You "progressives" really love to re write history and pretend to help blk people while you use blk people as pawns for your sicko agendas. No country treats blks as well as America does; and no other country offers blk people as many rights as America does- including any country in Africa. The fact that you have such an extreme case of TDS proves that you bought into the lies of the lamestream media. Fake "revolutionary" groups like blm and antifa destroy blk neighborhoods and blk owned businesses while pretending to fight for blk people against some imaginary, all powerful oppressor. If blk people wanna have better lives, blk people need to work hard, not commit crimes, not resist arrest, not support fake groups who use blk people for their own immoral goals, take care of their families and focus on being successful in life.
