It would be in line with wikipedia standards to include a section on analysis of this, as well as any other, superhero character and the American self image they project.

I feel like it would be appropriate to add a reception or cultural impact section to the article.
This edit:
by Kencf0618 is an intresting one worth noting but I feel like it does not fit into the lead section. The character has been around for over 75 years and I think there would be a lot to add in a new section. ★Trekker ( talk) 11:46, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
"The fact that a major comic book character invented by two Jews has been co-opted by early 21st-century neo-Nazis"
Well, the superhero in question in white, blond, and blue-eyed. Quite reminiscent of how the Nazis imagined the Aryan race. See the following source on how Captain America represents the "Aryan ideal". https://books.google.gr/books?id=gQD0WX6czQAC&pg=PA66&dq=Captain+America+Aryan&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Captain%20America%20Aryan&f=false
Captain America is also regularly depicted as an All-American hero, whose job is to face whoever threatens America (Nazis, communists, terrorists, etc). I could see the appeal to Nativist elements of American society.
As a child, I found Cap to be a disturbing depiction of nationalism, not patriotism. A "hero" dressed in a flag, like a cheap politician. And a willing volunteer for human experimentation, who blindly serves his government. I am Greek, and these elements tend to remind me of the "patriotic" speeches of figures of the Greek military junta of 1967–74, whose self-described mission was to save the nation from itself.

Hi, I uploaded this image ( File:Captain America (Steve Roger circa 1968).png) and think this could be a good Infobox image.-- NeoBatfreak ( talk) 02:10, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey, I just noticed that no one has done a list for supporting characters of Captain America. There's lists for Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman-- Captain America would not have gotten far in World War II without the Invaders, and he never would have been a member of the Avengers had Hulk stayed with the team, then they never would have found him in ice. Please, make a list of supporting characters. IronKnight374 ( talk) 06:57, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
Kinsley Bottom can't stop adding Black Widow and Iron Man in Captain America's partners. Tecnically, this is a Wikipedia page starring comic book Cap, not MCU Cap. In comics, Black Widow is more related to Hawkeye or Bucky Barnes. Iron Man is a friend from work, just like Thor, Giant-Man, Hawkeye or the Scarlet Witch. Johnf69 ( talk) 06:49, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Neither of you seem to realized the infobox is meant to be a summary of the article. Iron Man is mentioned in the main biography section only six times: all in one subsection, four times in one paragraph, and most should be removed as undue recentism. D-Man isn't mentioned at all. I recommend you improve the article (which doesn't just mean expand it) before trying to expand the infobox. Argento Surfer ( talk) 10:48, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Nomad, as well as D-Man, has been a legendary sidekick of Cap during Mark Gruenwald's run. Black Widow and most importantly Iron Man are part of the Avengers, so it's irrilevant adding them in that infobox. If we count them as partners, then we can also add Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Scarlet Witch and so on. I honestly don't know how to use Wikipedia properly, but that's for sure that adding Iron Man and Black Widow in Cap's comic book history is a big mistake. MCU Cap already has his own Wikipedia... let's add them there Johnf69 ( talk) 11:05, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Anyway, as you all can see, Black Widow never gets mentioned during the article. She's not very important to Cap's history, not just like Nomad, D-Man and Agent 13. Johnf69 ( talk) 11:10, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
There team ups have to be notable.No, they don't. If they are, they should be noted in the article. They aren't. Since they aren't, they should not be listed in the infobox, which is supposed to be a summary of the article.
Find sources.It is the responsibility of the editor trying to add material to source it. It is unfair to ask an editor removing it to prove sources aren't available. Argento Surfer ( talk) 17:07, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

It will never happen again! Johnf69 ( talk) 17:44, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Cap also shared a miniseries like "Captain America and Black Widow" with Hawkeye... that means nothing. And, as previously told, Natasha never gets mentioned in the article, so we can't add her in the infobox. Regarding Iron Man, do you think we should add him only because Marvel.com and PastedMagazine talked about their relationship and their best moments? Trust me, you can find articles like that about every single character in Marvel (and DC) history... that doesn't mean Iron Man needs to be in Cap's partners infobox Johnf69 ( talk) 06:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Fun fact: every single comic book you mentioned (excluding Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 268, but that issue mainly stars Wolverine) came out only AFTER the MCU movies. Sharon Carter, Bucky Barnes and Falcon have always been important to Steve Rogers, unlike Black Widow and Iron Man Johnf69 ( talk) 06:43, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
"You have a bias with my selection because they’re not yours"
Can't believe you said that. I'm not twelve. By the way, at the end I didn't added Nomad or D-Man, I only demonstrated why you're wrong. And I'm okay with that. Your proofs are completely weak. I think you're only an Iron Man / Black Widow fan that has nothing better to do, and you should read more comics. They're great, and they dimonstrate why Iron Man and Black Widow will never be like Sharon, Bucky and Sam for Steve. I suggest you to read comics that came out from 40s to 00s, especially the stories written by Kirby, Englehart, Stern, DeMatteis and Gruenwald... five legendary authors who never gave a prominent role to Iron Man and mostly to Black Widow.
Thanks for anything and goodbye :) Johnf69 ( talk) 05:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Ziggy Coltrane is starting an edit warring again, adding Black Widow and Iron Man as Captain America’s partners. They’re not. Black Widow could be considered Bucky’s partner, but not Steve’s.
Iron Man is an Avenger. If we add him, we could also add Thor, Hank Pym, Wasp, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver… that doesn’t make any sense. Johnf69 ( talk) 17:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

This one should be interesting. Hopefully I'll have a review posted for this within a few days.
Thebiguglyalien (
talk)
22:25, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
I've made some minor copyedits myself.
General:
The series was a commercial failure, and was cancelled after just three issues.This is split into two clauses, but the second clause has no subject. This should either be rewritten as "and it was cancelled", or the comma should be removed so the subject applies to the entire sentence. There are several instances of this, so I suggest during a search for ", and" then doing a search for ", but".
would becan often be rewritten as "was".
Lead:
Creation and development:
This approach was also consciously political...– This sentence runs on. It could be two or three sentences.
and notes that he regards Kirby as a co-creator– "and notes that" can be dropped. This would be more concise as its own sentence saying "Simon regarded Kirby as a co-creator..."
1940–1944:
Captain America's popularity drew a complaint– Long sentence
1980s and 1990s:
in a run that saw a storyline in which Captain America declines– Could this be rewritten to be less wordy?
in which Captain America faced a crisis of confidence in the face of what Dematteis described as– Too wordy, and this sentence runs on.
notably Paul Neary– "notably" suggests that we're elevating the importance of these examples. Does the source specifically identify them as the most notable?
2000s–present:
Cassady noted that while the series was criticized for its political content, he stated that the aim– Besides the issue with "noted", saying both "noted" and "stated" is redundant
The character was ultimately killed– "ultimately" feels inaccurate when the same sentence goes on to say that he was revived.
Fictional character biography:
the superhero the Falcon– Two "the"s this close together read awkwardly
Following the disbandment of the Avengers, Rogers discovers that Bucky is still alive– maybe Rogers can be replaced with "he" in this sentence. The sentences before and after this also use Rogers.
Ultimately, it is revealed– "ultimately" is used twice in this sentence.
Personality and motivations:
the character was consequently often criticized– "consequently often" reads awkwardly together
while those characters became heroes because of a traumatic incident, Rogers carries on as a hero in spite of a traumatic incident– Italics should not be used for emphasis in formal writing
which Weiner argues serves to reinforce the "nobility" of the character– "argues serves" reads awkwardly. "nobility" doesn't need quotes here, where it looks like MOS:SCAREQUOTES
overt partisan political statements– "partisan political" is redundant
writers have nevertheless regularly used Captain America– "regularly" can be lost without changing the meaning
Political themes:
For example, the conspiracy storyline of "Secret Empire" reflected...– The Secret Empire and Civil War examples are attributed to critics, but this interpretation of the Streets of Poison storyline is stated as a fact, which implies it was the explicit intention of the author. It should clarify whether this is the case or not.
where the United States is criticized for imperialist policies– It should be made clear that this is Dittmer's interpretation, rather than the article taking a position on foreign policy preferences.
Shield:
The shield is constructed fromand
when thrown, it is capable. A few wording changes might help clarify that it's how the shield is depicted, described, portrayed, etc.
Sidekicks:
first sidekick is Bucky Barnes– I know this is tricky with fiction, but in my opinion "first is" reads awkwardly as opposed to "first was"
noting that "mostly, Bucky was brought in– this could be cleaned up by pulling "mostly" from the quote, choosing a different word if necessary.
the character remained deceased for many decades&
he was revived in 2005– This makes it sound like the character died and was brought back to life in-universe.
introduced as the superhero The Falcon– "the superhero The" reads awkwardly
Romantic interests:
after Bernie decided to leave New York– "after Bernie left New York" is more concise
Alternate versions of Captain America:
there are multiple variations of Steve Rogers and Captain America– This makes it seem like just a few. Would "many" be more appropriate than "multiple"?
Cultural impact and legacy:
one of the most popular and recognized Marvel Comics characters– "widely recognized" might be preferable to just "recognized".
of the United States-themed superhero to emerge– "superhero" should be plural
provoked a significant proliferation of patriotic-themed– "significant" editorializes, and the sentence still makes sense if it's removed. Of course, this whole sentence should be reworded because the alliteration is distracting
such that a mere three months– "a mere" can be cut
Captain America became linked to counterculture of the 1960s through the film Easy Rider.– This doesn't make sense without further context, and I didn't see any when I checked the source. If this isn't significant to the character, it might be better to remove it.
All sources appear to be reliable. WP:EARWIG turned up no obvious copyright violations. Non-independent sources by Marvel or its employees don't appear to be used for contentious claims. The Blogspot source appears to be written by reputable entertainment journalists. What I'm really happy to see is that this article isn't plagued by a wall of citations to seemingly random comic book issues.
Spot checks:
hegemony, only foreign policy.
anti-fasciston the pages before or after, nor that the stories
frequently contained political messages.
consciously political.
post-war periodbut not
final years of the war.
Timely's corporate successor Atlas Comics relaunched
Captain America became linked to counterculture of the 1960s through the film Easy Rideris almost a word-for-word copy of the source.
causing Dematteis to resign from the series in protestis almost a word-for-word copy.
The spot check wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. The WP:Text-source integrity issues are minor, but five of the six sources I checked turned up at least one. If the information isn't stated on the cited page, that makes it look like WP:original research, even if it isn't. On the other hand, there are also a few times where similar wording is copied from the source. It's not too serious of an issue since it's mostly just a few words each time instead of whole passages, but it's still a plagiarism risk. I went back and forth on whether to halt the review early based on the spot checks, but it should be easily surmountable if it's just a matter of adjusting page numbers and some minor wording changes. There's also the real possibility that I'm just oblivious and some of these are clearly written on the cited pages.
Omissions:
Excessive detail:
patriotic-themed superheroes in American comic books during the 1940s, including...– The list of examples is a bit long. It would be better as two or three of the most prominent if not cut entirely.
No aspect is given undue weight, and no interpretation is given undue prominence. A few minor wording issues, but they are addressed above under criterion one.
No recent disputes.
The three non-free images are all justified with valid non-free use rationales. Captions provide detailed context. Good choice for the infobox image.

Can't believe you said that. I'm not twelve. By the way, at the end I didn't added Nomad or D-Man, I only demonstrated why you're wrong. And I'm okay with that. Your proofs are completely weak. I think you're only an Iron Man / Black Widow fan that has nothing better to do, and you should read more comics. They're great, and they dimonstrate why Iron Man and Black Widow will never be like Sharon, Bucky and Sam for Steve. I suggest you to read comics that came out from 40s to 00s, especially the stories written by Kirby, Englehart, Stern, DeMatteis and Gruenwald... five legendary authors who never gave a prominent role to Iron Man and mostly to Black Widow.
Thanks for anything and goodbye :) Johnf69 ( talk) 05:51, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Remove the red link of alternate future of the Ultimate Universe and also remove the generic name of reference 13! 2804:7F2:5A6:5749:85F3:C4FF:18CE:D188 ( talk) 19:12, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Ziggy Coltrane is starting an edit warring again, adding Black Widow and Iron Man as Captain America’s partners. They’re not. Black Widow could be considered Bucky’s partner, but not Steve’s.
Iron Man is an Avenger. If we add him, we could also add Thor, Hank Pym, Wasp, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver… that doesn’t make any sense. Johnf69 ( talk) 17:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Again, I refer both Ziggy Coltrane and Johnf69 to this archived talk page section and especially urge ye to take heed of Argento Surfer's comment there, and my own comment. Further, would a sock report be useful here, Ziggy? Bastun Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 11:08, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

This one should be interesting. Hopefully I'll have a review posted for this within a few days.

I've made some minor copyedits myself.
General:
The series was a commercial failure, and was cancelled after just three issues.This is split into two clauses, but the second clause has no subject. This should either be rewritten as "and it was cancelled", or the comma should be removed so the subject applies to the entire sentence. There are several instances of this, so I suggest during a search for ", and" then doing a search for ", but".
would becan often be rewritten as "was".
Lead:
Creation and development:
This approach was also consciously political...– This sentence runs on. It could be two or three sentences.
and notes that he regards Kirby as a co-creator– "and notes that" can be dropped. This would be more concise as its own sentence saying "Simon regarded Kirby as a co-creator..."
1940–1944:
Captain America's popularity drew a complaint– Long sentence
1980s and 1990s:
in a run that saw a storyline in which Captain America declines– Could this be rewritten to be less wordy?
in which Captain America faced a crisis of confidence in the face of what Dematteis described as– Too wordy, and this sentence runs on.
notably Paul Neary– "notably" suggests that we're elevating the importance of these examples. Does the source specifically identify them as the most notable?
2000s–present:
Cassady noted that while the series was criticized for its political content, he stated that the aim– Besides the issue with "noted", saying both "noted" and "stated" is redundant
The character was ultimately killed– "ultimately" feels inaccurate when the same sentence goes on to say that he was revived.
Fictional character biography:
the superhero the Falcon– Two "the"s this close together read awkwardly
Following the disbandment of the Avengers, Rogers discovers that Bucky is still alive– maybe Rogers can be replaced with "he" in this sentence. The sentences before and after this also use Rogers.
Ultimately, it is revealed– "ultimately" is used twice in this sentence.
Personality and motivations:
the character was consequently often criticized– "consequently often" reads awkwardly together
while those characters became heroes because of a traumatic incident, Rogers carries on as a hero in spite of a traumatic incident– Italics should not be used for emphasis in formal writing
which Weiner argues serves to reinforce the "nobility" of the character– "argues serves" reads awkwardly. "nobility" doesn't need quotes here, where it looks like MOS:SCAREQUOTES
overt partisan political statements– "partisan political" is redundant
writers have nevertheless regularly used Captain America– "regularly" can be lost without changing the meaning
Political themes:
For example, the conspiracy storyline of "Secret Empire" reflected...– The Secret Empire and Civil War examples are attributed to critics, but this interpretation of the Streets of Poison storyline is stated as a fact, which implies it was the explicit intention of the author. It should clarify whether this is the case or not.
where the United States is criticized for imperialist policies– It should be made clear that this is Dittmer's interpretation, rather than the article taking a position on foreign policy preferences.
Shield:
The shield is constructed fromand
when thrown, it is capable. A few wording changes might help clarify that it's how the shield is depicted, described, portrayed, etc.
Sidekicks:
first sidekick is Bucky Barnes– I know this is tricky with fiction, but in my opinion "first is" reads awkwardly as opposed to "first was"
noting that "mostly, Bucky was brought in– this could be cleaned up by pulling "mostly" from the quote, choosing a different word if necessary.
the character remained deceased for many decades&
he was revived in 2005– This makes it sound like the character died and was brought back to life in-universe.
introduced as the superhero The Falcon– "the superhero The" reads awkwardly
Romantic interests:
after Bernie decided to leave New York– "after Bernie left New York" is more concise
Alternate versions of Captain America:
there are multiple variations of Steve Rogers and Captain America– This makes it seem like just a few. Would "many" be more appropriate than "multiple"?
Cultural impact and legacy:
one of the most popular and recognized Marvel Comics characters– "widely recognized" might be preferable to just "recognized".
of the United States-themed superhero to emerge– "superhero" should be plural
provoked a significant proliferation of patriotic-themed– "significant" editorializes, and the sentence still makes sense if it's removed. Of course, this whole sentence should be reworded because the alliteration is distracting
such that a mere three months– "a mere" can be cut
Captain America became linked to counterculture of the 1960s through the film Easy Rider.– This doesn't make sense without further context, and I didn't see any when I checked the source. If this isn't significant to the character, it might be better to remove it.
All sources appear to be reliable. WP:EARWIG turned up no obvious copyright violations. Non-independent sources by Marvel or its employees don't appear to be used for contentious claims. The Blogspot source appears to be written by reputable entertainment journalists. What I'm really happy to see is that this article isn't plagued by a wall of citations to seemingly random comic book issues.
Spot checks:
hegemony, only foreign policy.
anti-fasciston the pages before or after, nor that the stories
frequently contained political messages.
consciously political.
post-war periodbut not
final years of the war.
Timely's corporate successor Atlas Comics relaunched
Captain America became linked to counterculture of the 1960s through the film Easy Rideris almost a word-for-word copy of the source.
causing Dematteis to resign from the series in protestis almost a word-for-word copy.
The spot check wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. The WP:Text-source integrity issues are minor, but five of the six sources I checked turned up at least one. If the information isn't stated on the cited page, that makes it look like WP:original research, even if it isn't. On the other hand, there are also a few times where similar wording is copied from the source. It's not too serious of an issue since it's mostly just a few words each time instead of whole passages, but it's still a plagiarism risk. I went back and forth on whether to halt the review early based on the spot checks, but it should be easily surmountable if it's just a matter of adjusting page numbers and some minor wording changes. There's also the real possibility that I'm just oblivious and some of these are clearly written on the cited pages.
Omissions:
Excessive detail:
patriotic-themed superheroes in American comic books during the 1940s, including...– The list of examples is a bit long. It would be better as two or three of the most prominent if not cut entirely.
No aspect is given undue weight, and no interpretation is given undue prominence. A few minor wording issues, but they are addressed above under criterion one.
No recent disputes.
The three non-free images are all justified with valid non-free use rationales. Captions provide detailed context. Good choice for the infobox image.
