^ And that's sillier than every other silly super-hero costume in what way?
Did I say it was the silliest? No. There are plenty of worse super hero costumes out there. And plenty better ones.
Name one super hero costume that is better than Cap's. And when I say super hero I mean superhero, not some guy in a well dressed suit.
Huh? Perhaps you are a bit too much of a fan of Captain America to see his costume objectively. As for a list... So many , where do I start? Batman, Superman, Spiderman. So many more. All without the cheese-factor touches I mentioned earlier.
The man wears an armoured flag. I thought he looked ridiculous too, at first, although in time I eventually stopped noticing it.

I like all the people you mentioned.
Batman- dresses in a bat costume wearing blue undies. How many jokes have been told in the movies about a grown man that dresses up like a bat.
Superman (also on the top of my list)dresses in primary colors with red undies. Basically the same suit as Cap and a sure was part of the inspiration for it.
Spiderman- (also on the top of my list) now if you were talking about the black costume the fanboys hated you would be right. If you are talkign the red and blue wrestling tights he wears covered in webs then you would wrong.
I would say try again. No if you just hate the United States or red,white, and blue then I can't help you.
Costume is not perfect but it is far silly when compared to everyone else.
Did I object to the colors anywhere?
But I guess it is just "unamerican" to dislike Captain America. LOL!

Even Captain America has occasionally grown disillusioned with his country. From a young age I've loved the character and the stories. His WWII roots captured my imagination and I've always admired the characters integrity. Plus, let there be no doubt, the costume is awesome.
He dislikes the drawing of a FICTIONAL character. Aren't you forgetting that part?
No he said he thought the character was silly all the way around, not just his costume.
One of the best storylines was from writer Steve Engleheart, when Cap finds out the leader of the Secret Empire is a government official, who they never reveal, and then kills himself to avoid capture. Cap quits being a hero, and resurfaces as the character Nomad. It was an interesting plotline. -- RR
Yes, but you forgot one thing, possibly his most important power. I used to call it "speechifying". It sounds silly, but he seems to have a natural ability to make the other superheroes around him be "better" just by talking to them or generally being around them.
The other thing that amuses me about Cap is he's basically an old war-horse in a younger man's body. He'll often talk about what he was doing during World War II, or talk about how he briefly served in places like China, where he picked up kung fu, for example.
And at least one hero, Iron Fist, had an interesting observation about Captain America. Iron Fist was always analyzing his opponents' fighting styles, and as I recall, he thought Cap had a mixture of fighting skills, making him unpredictable and difficult to combat.

I remember it well. I have to say though, I didn't much care for Nomad's costume.
Yeah, that's true.Now there was a missed opportunity...when Marvel had the Trek comic license, they should have had a crossover comic where Cap and Picard had a "speech off".
