What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.
In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a “real American,” has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to “deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies,” and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified “for the peace to find a solution.”
Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.
When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he’s] seen will take much more than one man to right – but [he’s] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil– and a country to die for!!”
By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the “America First” party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them “to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned.”
The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America – especially against a Steve Rogers who’s fucking pissed. (“Get up so I can knock you down!!”)
With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be “as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany” and “as a people, we are no different from them.”
The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”
Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

#pls don't mind the reblog chain#ok favorite spots on her:#that light brown fade in her hair under her chin#the shading on her shoulder#the shading on her chest plate#that ding dang rope#the stitched curves of her hair#my work#hand embroidery#mixed media#ok memorial speech that i didn't realize i needed to say incoming#the friend i gave this work to passed away last fall#he was the cook at my favorite restaurant for a while#and it was a little valentine diner so the seats were right up next to the grill#i was HELLA depressed at the time and going to that diner every week was one of the few things to bring me joy#he and i would talk comics bc i always brought a stack of comic books to read#i went there so often that he started just making me whatever#'what do you feel like?' 'hm a burger' and then 15 mins later he hands me masterpiece of flavor different every week#the diner moved locations and expanded in a way that it lost its character and charm#life went on - i didn't go as regularly and he wasn't working the same night as i would go#but when we saw each other around the city we'd stop and chat still#he was always a huge fan of my comics embroidery#and the jenny frison wonder woman variant covers were one of his favorite new artist series#(because they're incredible)#so he was the natural choice to gift this one#i knew he'd treasure it (and he did! it had a place of honor in his comics room#i don't know what will happen to this work#but he's gone so does it really matter?#thanks for the good times and good food jose#((pls excuse the memorial tag chain too))
