Avengers #4 (1964) Captain
America is an iconic hero for the the ages. And, as
with many heroes in the comic world, he is often

character often defines the types of villains he
deals with. As a
living emblem of American pride, the American sense
of justice and a true believer in American freedom
and liberty, Captain America often, and naturally,
finds his duty as defeating the enemies of justice,
freedom, and liberty. Hence, Captain America's
