The New Captain America

Just in case you don't know the original Captain America (Steve Rogers) is dead. He was killed by an assassin during the Marvel Civil War event. However in the grand tradition of comics a replacement has been found for him. His original sidekick Bucky has stepped up to the challenge. Here is a picture.

I have a few problems with this, for starters the gun. Why does Captain America need a gun? It goes against everything that the old Cap stood for. In addition to the gun this Captain America carries a knife. What is the need for all the weapons? All Steve needed was his "mighty" shield and his bare hands. I guess this Cap isn't as much of a man as Steve. I am truly looking forward to Steve's return, as it will eventually happen, the Marvel Universe needs him. I'm the Eyeball, and That's what I See.
