Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele
Cap has used guns in earlier stories and during WW2 - in 616 continuity - it was only shortly after he was thawed out that he kind of adopted a 'no guns' thing. Feeling that he could do whatever he needed to do with just his fists and his shield and his wits.
Of course I'm sure he had the Red Skull at gunpoint once and he said something bullshitty like "If you shoot me, you're going to be just like me. Merciless. Cold blooded. A total douche." and Cap probably was all like "Nooo, I don't want to be a total douche!" and the Skull laughed and then Cap pistol whipped him, dropped the gun on him and said something like "I'll never be the kind of douchebag you are Skull. I'm Captain fucking America."
And then he banged Sharon Carter or something...
