Vocally political and liberal Steve Rogers<\/p>\n

Fox News has no idea how to handle it because he\u2019s Captain America and he\u2019s literally from the 40\u2019s like how do that handle that<\/p>\n

He refuses to go on half of the news shows because they lie<\/p>\n

Mostly ends up on the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, and the Young Turks<\/p>\n

Starts charities that focus on kids and the poor<\/p>\n

Donations to veterans charities go through the roof<\/p>\n

Treatment for PTSD in veterans suddenly gets addressed after he admits to being diagnosised with it<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Steve Rogers starting a twitter specifically for linking people to horrible news stories and calling news stations out on their lies and scare tactics\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using his twitter to complain about the state of public news and how it should be a space of change and value and honesty for the American public, and how he\u2019s so ashamed of it all<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He accidentally becomes like public face for the new generation of politically savvy people<\/p>\n

They make of shirts like WWCD \u201cwhat would Cap do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony is thrilled and proud and hires of team of lawyers exclusively to handle the news stations screaming about Steve<\/p>\n

Fox news gets slapped with so many libel fines and law suits<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Going on a show and regretting it the moment an offensive question or comment comes up and decides he\u2019s completely done and just tears the interviewer a new one. \u00a0It goes viral. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The public face thing is just the start. \u00a0It starts this whole new wave of people that shut down offensive shit during interviews and holding their own.<\/p>\n

There is a short time period once he turns 35 where there is a rally cry of \u201cCaptain America for President\u201d that he gracefully turns down.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But politicians starting courting him, trying to get him to publicly state that they support him because his influence is just so massive, and they keep getting shut down hard<\/p>\n

Talks about growing up in the depression when people bring up financial issues – says things like \u201cWith all due respect, ma\u2019am, what others may remember as being over 80 years ago was less then 5 ago to me. Things were supposed to get better. Those issues we thought we fixed were supposed to go away – we were supposed to work to a future where it was gone – and instead it seems to be worse then ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

And of course he\u2019s a raging feminist and is absolutely appalled when Natasha tells him about rape statistics<\/p>\n

Bruce takes a lot of time to fully educate him about the social and medical side of abortions, teaches him about the various birth defects and medical issues the mothers can face, shows him the demographic information of access and need, and Steve is horrified by that too<\/p>\n

Then Tony walks him through gay rights and other LGBTQ issues, all of them helping him understand how sexuality can manifest differently and the difference between sex and gender identity<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Steve just REAL FUCKIN DONE with everything.<\/p>\n

Angrily stands in protest rallies and dares people to start something with peaceful protesters. \u00a0Just DARES them.<\/p>\n

Rolls his eyes at baby boomer articles about the newer generations. \u00a0He\u2019s heard that mess before. \u00a0He\u2019s done with it.<\/p>\n

Understanding people have problems with medical bills, having been there himself.<\/p>\n

Fucking standing up for single mothers becaUSE LIKE WHOA THAT\u2019S HIS MOTHER YOU JUST DISSED.<\/p>\n

Steve Rogers hating bullies. \u00a0Hates that kids are actually KILLING THEMSELVES because of bullying and people are just \u201coh boys will be boys\u201d about it and he\u2019s just LIVID.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I would go into debt to read this comic. This is what Captain America should be. This is what America should be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

cries i want to embrace this post forever<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Peaceful protests staying peaceful<\/i>\u00a0because when the cops try to start something it doesn\u2019t matter how many of them there are, Steve\u2019s there and he will shut them down, but more than that: Steve gets pepper sprayed. Steve gets chemical burns. Steve on shaky iphone video blind and disoriented and still using his body to protect others as the cops close in. And suddenly the heroes who stay back because they don\u2019t want to get involved – because they shouldn\u2019t use their powers \u2018like that\u2019 start showing up in droves.<\/p>\n

Peter gumming up the smoke and pepper bombs before they go off. Thor becoming a one man blockade. Natasha working with organizers to help plan for escapes if things do go badly. Tony\u2019s not only keeping Cap up to date – he\u2019s putting considerable money behind the political candidates who will actually work to improve things, because we all know you need money to represent at the polls. They\u2019re not there attacking the police – even if the officers are being assholes, they understand they have a job to do and often bad orders – but they\u00a0will<\/i> protect the protesters who have done nothing but show up.<\/p>\n

And the more they do, the more heroes join in. Because it\u2019s not just about using your powers against the mighty evil empire Strexx or taking down some guy calling himself the Boomerang. It\u2019s about making sure you want to keep living<\/i> in the world you keep saving.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ALL OF THIS.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
