And it's SO, SO much worse now. Which Marvel superheroes would stand against the current US government if they existed in the real world, I wonder? I'd like to think most of them would.
Howard the Duck would for sure.
Tony Stark would be worried about the Epstein files.
Man same
Do you know which issue this is from? I'd like to read the full thing.
Horror movie I want to watch, retired Americans go to a Vietnam vacation resort, One dies, accident? they keep enjoying their vacation, they slowly learn that they are not only all vets, but served in Nam, including the massacring of a village. they keep dying, no longer accidents. The resort does nothing to help. police ignore them. Twist at the end is that the whole resort was built where the village stood and all staff (and police) are descendants of survivors.
Is that really a twist?
I think a plot twist would be, if there was a metaphysical maelstrom of guilt and they kept offing themselves because of it.
stop complaining and start writing

Captain drugs
Just another 58,000 soldiers in the meat grinder for another two decades and they would have won!
Who is captain America? Because the guy in the picture is captain ~~Porto~~ Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Also, other options to the question: Captain Iran, Captain Afghanistan, Captain China, Captain Putin, captain Kim Yong Un
the supervillain Mango Mussolini isn't bad at it either
Haven't heard that one before. Do you mean Diaper Donny? I know he's amazing at destroying America, but I wouldn't call him a captain tbh. I prefer to call him by his official title, "pedo sex offender and crook Diaper Donny".
Edit: oh you didn't call him a captain but super villain. I stand corrected.

Captain Afghanistan.
Captain Iran
Captain Bay of Pigs.
Captain Dementia, currently
Going by kill count, i'mma say captain preventable heart disease.
Captain car accident.
Isn't that a picture of Captain Puerto Rico?
Fun fact, in one of the what if comic runs Cap goes AWOL and nominally sides with the North Vietnamese. It's balanced out by the fact that in the absolutely worst universe Cap is a cannibal and taught nick fury, the one with the X-men concentration camp not Marvel zombie.
Captain Taliban too
Captain Canada - Origins
Last time we fucked with Canada, they burned down the White House.
That’s basically Vindicator. You can’t blame the Canucks for sacking your capitol for a laugh though - it was an early barmy army visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_Washington

He’s hidden in the trees, Steve. You’ll never see him coming.
Captain Vietnam aka Anh Hung
Technically, Captain Britain is 1-1 if you count the War of 1812 as a British victory.
For real though, the actual Captain America superhero is pretty vulnerable. He took Super Soldier Serum so he's stronger than regular people. But, he couldn't beat the Hulk, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Ultron, Thanos, etc. in a one-on-one fight.
Even when the war happened before I was born it doesn't feel like "history" to me. Maybe because of all the movies that revolve around it.
