This week we take you behind the page to explore the true life story of creating Captain America! Before Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Avengers, and back before the MCU was even a possibility! We’ll dive into WWII and explore a time before America joined the war, and how controversial it was to have an Anti-Nazi superhero! We’ll look at the controversy that surrounded Cap’s first appearance, punching Hiter in the face, how the American Nazis retaliated! We’ll examine the patriotic superhero that Marvel Comics completely RIPPED OFF to bring Cap to life, and the litany of superheroes that followed in Cap’s wake! We’ll also look at how quickly Captain America’s popularity faded, and how Marvel had to completely change the comic book just to try and survive being cancelled!
