Take another look at Marvel Comics' "Captain America" - Commie Smasher!, from the publisher's 'cold war' comic books of the 1950's, that identified communist foreign infiltrators, corrupt politicians, bribed journalists and 'useful idiots' as enemies of the state:
"...in 1953, 'William Burnside' discovers the lost formula for the 'Super-Soldier Serum' in 'Third Reich' files stashed in a German warehouse.
"He immediately tells the government about the formula in consideration of becoming the next 'Captain America'...
"...even undergoing plastic surgery to look like 'Steve Rogers', but the government is unconvinced they need another 'Cap'.
"Becoming a disgruntled teacher, the new Rogers befriends rebellious student 'Jack Monroe' and together they access the formula, injecting the chemicals into each other, to become the new Captain America and 'Bucky'.
"The duo fight as 'Commie Smashers'...
"...unaware of a 'Vita-Ray' process required to stabilize the recipient taking the formula.”

This article contains Black Widow spoilers.
When we finally catch up with Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour) in the Russian prison where he’s been idling for years, he’s reliving his glory days in the midst of dealing with a string of arm wrestling contenders. Marvel’s Black Widow has already shown us just how strong Alexei is during its long, Ohio-set opening, so we know that the man who was once Russia’s answer to Captain America is going to win every single one of these bouts.
As Red Guardian, Alexei even had his own action figure, and although he’s now pretty out of shape the super soldier is more than a match for any of the younger and more ripped inmates who hope to challenge him. While a collection of men excitedly watch Alexei peacock his strength, he even brags about the time he beat Captain America.

Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier episode 2 is much less of a slow burn than the first episode. Not only do we actually get Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes sharing screen time together, and a better understanding of what new Captain America John Walker is all about, but we get a host of new Marvel Comics characters introduced to the MCU!
There’s a lot going on in this episode, so let’s start digging in to all the Marvel goodness to be found…
The Star-Spangled Man The title of the episode is of course a reference to Steve Rogers’ tenure as a piece of propaganda in Captain America: The First Avenger, when he was sent out to convince people to buy war bonds. That excellent MCU film featured an era-appropriate song called “The Star-Spangled Man” with music...

This The Falcon and the Winter Soldier review contains spoilers.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Episode 2
The first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier started off with a fun action sequence to get it out of the way so it could move on to all the dread and depression. Even with the introduction of the Flag-Smashers as a threat, it has nothing on the emotional gut punch of Bucky trying to live with the horrors of his actions under Hydra’s control. Similarly, the first episode ended with Sam Wilson feeling incredibly betrayed to find out that the United States government was not content with leaving Captain America’s shield in a museum as promised. Instead, they wanted to hand it off to a new Captain America that they – and not Steve Rogers – had handpicked.
In comic book canon, there are five major Captain America replacements throughout the years,...

John Walker, the Us Agent will be one of the antagonists of Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+.
When The Falcon and The Winter Soldier starts up on Disney+ next year, one of its main antagonists will be the returning Daniel Bruhl as Helmut Zemo. At D23, it’s been announced that there will be another major antagonist in the form of John Walker, as played by Wyatt Russell. Walker is a B-lister-at-best to Marvel and it makes sense that this would be the project that would formally introduce him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While there have been various people to take up the mantle of Captain America outside of Steve Rogers, there are only five who truly matter. Isaiah Bradley was the prototype for Captain America as revealed in the excellent Truth: Red, White, and Black. William Burnside became Captain America...

Chris Evans, along with most of the other original Avengers stars are most likely not going to come back for more films after Avengers: Infinity War-Part 2. There have been rumors about replacing the characters with new actors, such as having Sam Wilson, Aka the Falcon (Anthony Mackie) take over, as was done in the Marvel comic. But would this work? Would people accept a new Cap? There’s a way to test out the public’s tolerance for a replacement actor, and the Agent Carter TV show is the place to do it.
We all know the story of how Steve Rogers, Aka Captain America, was frozen at the end of WW2 and remained on ice until his revival decades later. In the comics, however, there were stories featuring Captain America that took place in the late 1940s-early 1950s. How could that happen? The answer to that question points to...
