I'm more worried about him stabbing himself in the junk every time he bends over.

This is a different Cap. Steve Rogers used his super sekrit psychic powers (so sekrit, it had NEVER BEEN MENTIONED EVER!) to choose a replacement!

So by that logic he's got a "P" on his head? It looks more like an "R" to me.

As a woman of Puerto Rican descent, I applaud Marvel's effort to bring more Latino-

Oh, wait. Nevermind. *grins*

This is just further proof that Bucky and I are destined for each other.

Maybe its a way of including all Americans. I wonder if he's got the flag of Guam on his backside.

I think Howard the Guam now represents that for Marvel...

Alex Ross really needs to go back to loooooooooooong running DC miniseries and leave my damned 616 alone.

It's my understanding that he's the brilliance behind the costume.

From the ISB:
Look, Alex Ross: We get it, okay? You figured out how to paint shiny things, and I’m sure that was very impressive when you designed the Silver Agent twelve years ago, but this time, you didn’t even give us a guy who can bend over to tie his shoes without stabbing himself in the crotch with his pointy metal chestplate. And then there’s the one-piece black jumpsuit with the built-in holsters and Mickey Mouse gloves that’s honestly just laughable. On one level, though, it’s almost impressive: I mean, you have to work pretty damn hard to beat this, but congratulations: You’ve done it.

If you look closely at the stars on his chest and on the actual Puerto Rican flag ("Who doesn't want to wear the ribbon?!") you will notice that the star on Capatain America's chest is at the correct angle a flag should be. When the Puerto Rican flag is rotated the star rotates to. So, technically, they are different. But, it took me a few minutes of studying both of them to notice this difference.

At least he isn't wearing a star shaped cod piece or horrid tight underpants on the outside of his costume.

Puerto Rico needs superheroes, too, y'know. Stop making fun. :-)

as the wonderfully geeky [info]lokidiscordia pointed out to me, the chest design on Capt. is based on the original shield design. Hence, an homage:

It took me a couple minutes, but I figured out who he reminds me of: Mussolini.

FINALLY! A latin super-hero. :p

Oh Marvel, your constant redonkulous changes always amuse me.

Since when does Cap carry a gat? :p

I can see it now! On the O'Riely factor "illegal immigrants trying to hypnotize americans via comic books!"
