  • Captain America
    The Star-spangled Avenger Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (Cover dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers , a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon. An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers. Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series. Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium with the release of the 1944 movie serial Captain America . Since then, the character has been featured in several other films and television series, including Chris Evans in 2011’s Captain America and The Avengers in 2012. The creation of Captain America In 1940, writer Joe Simon conceived the idea for Captain America and made a sketch of the character in costume.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Established in 2008 with the release of Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become a ubiquitous transmedia sensation. Its uniquely interwoven narrative provides auspicious grounds for scholarly consideration. The franchise conscientiously presents larger-than-life superheroes as complex and incredibly emotional individuals who form profound interpersonal relationships with one another. This thesis explores Sarah Hagelin’s concept of resistant vulnerability, which she defines as a “shared human experience,” as it manifests in the substantial relationships that Steve Rogers (Captain America) cultivates throughout the Captain America narrative (11). This project focuses on Steve’s relationships with the following characters: Agent Peggy Carter, Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier).

  • "Why Do You Look for the Living Among the Dead?" 1
    TEXT: LUKE 24:4-8 #2885 EASTER THEME: "WHY DO YOU LOOK FOR THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD?" 1. WE HA VE A RISEN LORD. II. WE HAVE ms RELIABLE WORD. III. WE HAVE A RESPONSffiILITY IN THE WORLD. Phoenix - 3127116 My dear fellow redeemed, Here's a strange story from the Associated Press. A judge over in Yugoslavia was electrocuted when he reach up to change a light bulb while standing in the bathtub, and his wife found his body sprawled on the bathroom floor. He was pronounced dead and, as was the custom in that town, he was placed in a room under a crypt in the town cemetery for 24 hours before his burial. In the middle of the night, however, this judge suddenly revived, realized where he was, and rushed over to alert the night watchman .... who promptly ran away, terrified. Fortunately, the night watchman returned with a friend, and they released the newly-revived judge. The judge's first thought was to phone his wife and her and let hr know what had happened, but he got no farther than, "Darling, it's me .... when she screamed and fainted. He then went to the houses of several friends, but them slammed the door in his face, thinking he was a ghost. In one last desperate measure, he called a relative in France who hadn't heard yet about his death, and this relative interceded for him with his family and friends. Almost unbelievable, isn't it? But at the same time, it sounds an awful lot like what happened on the first Easter Sunday morning.

  • Spider-Man: Not Far from Military Propaganda (Script) the Marvel
    Spider-Man: Not Far From Military Propaganda (script) The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is an umbrella term for all Marvel-based cinema released under Disney since its purchase in 2009. This includes franchises such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Guardians of the Galaxy, the Avengers, and more. In fact, the MCU is filled with over 770 characters! In 2016, Disney introduced the MCU’s newest, and youngest, Avenger– Spider-Man, otherwise known as Peter Parker, in Captain America: Civil War. Peter’s original characterization, as seen in previous films such as Spider-Man in 2002 and The Amazing Spider- Man in 2012, was changed completely to fit the MCU’s dynamic. These changes relate to Peter’s lack of depth, specifically, the MCU gives little to no background on his past or even a look into his mannerisms– Peter is said to have ADHD and tends to be too satirical for his own good). To be clear, the character rights of Spider-Man are owned by the company Sony, with a co-ownership deal with Disney to allow him in the MCU. All solo films of Spider-Man released after 2016, such as Homecoming and Far From Home, were produced by Sony. However, all other appearances of Spider-Man in MCU films like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, were produced by Disney. In this presentation (and in my thesis), I argue Disney’s use of the MCU as military propaganda, with a specific focus on Spider-Man. Disney always had a dedication to promoting the military but due to audiences not having a positive reaction to American military propaganda, Disney changed directions with their free advertisement.
