And the Nominees for the Next Captain America Are...

[Keith Justice]

...who will take up the shield?

My hope is Ironman, actually. I think he'd be the most interesting as well as come up with the most interesting armor.

But, Tony's got a movie coming out and that'd cause too much confusion.

Hawkeye is pretty expendable, I think. Him rising up at Cap would make some sense I think.

Who do you think?

Hawkeye.

 

[Ragna "D" BloodEdge]

Stark taking up Cap's mantle is an insult. He has no right to Cap's legacy or anything else after everything he's done.

U.S. Agent...probably not since he's been Cap already.

Hawkeye and the Winter Soldier seem the most likely choices.

 

[Keith Justice]

After everything, Stark taking up the shield would be the most interesting, because he's the most to make up for.

Of anyone, he needs to understand the most Captain's point of view and what he fought for.

 

[Tom Constantine]

Iron Man, I don't think would work personally, unless he compeltely changes his ideals so my vote goes to Hawkeye, the rest are pants characters.

Guys it's going to be Bucky. I mean he's taken over the book for Pete's sake and lets not forget he was Cap's sidekick plus he no idea how to connect to the modern world anymore he seems the most likely to me anyway.

Concurred™.

Bucky seems lame, redundant, too obvious and it doesn't add anything new to changing over the mantle.

Bucky seems lame, redundant, too obvious and it doesn't add anything new to changing over the mantle.

And how is that any different from Marvel's style of storytelling as of late?

My vote is on Bucky, too.

It's definitely not going to be Hawkeye. Tony already tried getting him to do it. He almost convinced him, but in the end decided it wouldn't be right.

Regardless of how obvious it is, I think Bucky's the best choice.
