    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

        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.

          It brings back special memories.

          A Puerto Rican girl in HS wrote Portorico as one word on her backpack in whiteout. I’ve made it a point to make sure I knew how to spell Puerto rico since them and not look like a fucking moron. Nothing against you, just a special memory of an idiot.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      I think a plot twist would be, if there was a metaphysical maelstrom of guilt and they kept offing themselves because of it.
