Better heed Cap and take notes, Spider-Man. Never compromise. Not even for Iron Man.
"Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — 'No, you move.' "
-Captain America (from Amazing Spider-Man #537)

Here's a fun Throwback Thursday panel from Cap #108 (1968) for ya...
Cap faces Batroc and must put himself between innocents and danger - which reminds him of the man from Galilee?!
That's it, Cap! Seek the Scriptures, cry out to the Lord and you shall find Him. You might want to talk to some folks like Cannonball or Wolfsbane too about life in the Spirit.
Taking the "Mall Santa" concept a few notches up - think of how kids would respond to messages if Cap or Spidey were the ones giving talks at schools.
If you've seen him in action, you never forget it. In the darkest hour, Cap gave hope to a generation.
From Marvels #3 (Busiek/Ross).
Here's a novel approach to crime - have Cap give the bad guy a disapproving look!
I know it's been something of a binge with the Cap pics this week - maybe one or two more panels to go, I think, in honor of the new movie, unless you have some pics you want to share too!
When the Fantastic Four are near to giving up hope, the Watcher admonishes their doubting hearts (#72, 1968).
If you are at the point of despair, that is, of turning your back on God, know this: your adversary is not so dreadful as your fear makes it out to be. But there is One who is greater, who is truly All-Powerful, and you can run to Him for refuge.
