Did I not say you could do Steve Rogers even though I'm Sam Wilson?
I can't remember if I told you or not :P. I do want one cause the whole "You can't be Cap now. Sorry."
It'll be like all... "Awww... okay..."
Tony Stark will have a hardy laugh at Sam's expense. Then in accordance with the comic book law start getting along better with sam while having issues with the new Cap.
I was also debating doing a Cap. A female one going off of the last Stark post when he brought up the urban myth. If facepunch though wants it I wont put up much of a fight. Especially if I would only do it if were keeping sthor and ditching Thor. We talked about her bringing in Sif too so I'm letting her decide fully first.

Well FemCap wouldn't have had the shield as my original idea was that they found the shield and then with the super soldier program attempted reboot which Sam was a part of he got given the shield and then became Cap.
Edit:
Unless OFC you meant original Cap was FemCap...
I'd say if FacePunch does want it he should probably get First Dibs.

He appears to be a fan :P
Yeah basically she was the real deal while the us paraded a man posing as him since the men of that time wouldn't think much of a woman serving. Let alone being the strongest...
One thing I will ask is... when you do this is it alright if I have the Avengers actually form before S.H.I.E.L.D ask for the shield back of Sam? :P
Yeah, that's cool with me. SHIELD would probably keep Steve under wraps until they know he's not a HYDRA spy or completely insane or something, giving Sammy long enough to form his little club and such.

Well, Club for Fury.
I think it'll just fizzle with the team a bit because by this point Sam will have developed some level of trust with the team as he formed and is its leader and then it's all like "WHO IS THE LEADER NOW?! IS IT STILL SAM OR DOES IT FALL TO THE GUY WITH THE SHIELD"
@Sep I imagine Steve would let Wilson lead. The world's changed since World War II and Cap isn't exactly ready to get right back into the swing of things.

Mhm, It'll probably happen eventually but it's a fun bit of indeciveness to play with.
Also Ded, can you also put on the char list or sumit that while we have a Sam Wilson Captain America I'm not above someone joining as Steve Rogers... the closer we get to Avengers the more I want to do that story :P
Yeah the idea of Becky Barnes is interesting but I would rather go in a different direction. I'd like someone who I can handle stuff without having to rely on someone else often. What with what's happening with Thor and Mr Fantastic. No offense bright ops and angel Vicky.
I'm more of a fan of classic Cap. I remember when he first quit being Capt. America and became the Captain [later this suit was given to his replacement Cap, John Walker aka US Agent], when he cut off Baron Blood's head with the edge of his shield, when Battlestar was showing up in the title [this guy was basically the first attempt at a black Capt. America], right up to the Heroes Return Avengers run by Kurt Busiek and George Perez which was honestly one of the best runs I've ever seen or read.
With our resident Nova [Mexxa] being written out the Guardians of Knowhere could use another cosmic character or two. If anyone is keeping up, X-51 will soon become one with his ship and if it's cool with @Dedonus I'd like to bring in this guy and touch on the Shi'ar Imperial Guard:
Player Name: The Kid Lantern
Character You Wish To Play: Starbolt (Formerly of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard)
Moral Alignment (Hero, Villain, Walking the Line): Walking the Line
Affiliation (what group/team/organization, if any, is your character affiliated with?):Formerly the Imperial Guard, presently the Guardians of Knowhere
Character Origin & Backstory:
* Note that the majority of the Imperial Guard has been untouched as far as backstory, however many of them are based on DC's own Legion of Superheroes.
C' rius was once a miner and traveled to several worlds such as Sparta, Zenn La, and Xandar. Upon finding a new energy source on several large asteroids, something like electric lava that would later be dubbed 'ultra energy', a rival co-worker named D' ave pushed C' rius into the glowing fissure. Left for dead, C' rius became one with the energy and escaped what would have been his grave several weeks later. Drifting through space without the need for air or a space suit, he was recruited into the Imperial Guard Training Academy.
Becoming a member of the Imperial Guard, he first followed the orders of Majestros D'Ken. The princess Lilandra, sister of the majestros, grew attached to the drifter. For some time a secret romance bloomed, however it was shot down for awhile during the time D'Ken fell into a coma and Lilandra stepped up as Majestrix. Just as their romance/flirting was discovered by Gladiator, D'Ken awoke to resume the throne and immediately threw Starbolt in shackles. Prior to meeting what remained of the Guardians of Knowhere, Starbolt recently broke free of his moon based prison. With civil war brewing among the Shi'ar, C' rius was the least of their worries. However, Gladiator has sworn to bring him in for his Majestros.
It should be noted during his time in the Imperial Guard, Starbolt along with other Imperial Guardsmen met X-51 during his travels to the far reaches of space shortly before getting imprisoned.
Powers and Abilities (What can your character do? What can't they do?): Starbolt is completely made up of the 'ultra-energy' he discovered, something of a mixture of lava and electricity. This form gives him the ability to survive without eating, flight, generation and manipulation of ultra-energy blasts in the form of fiery bolts, and increased strength and endurance. Starbolt can control the temperature of his energy form as well, and survive in space without need of oxygen or a space suit. Starbolt's maximum lift is roughly ten tons [20,000 pounds]. Using heat and air currents, he can fly at supersonic speeds (600 to 1,000 mph).
Sample Story Arcs: Give 2-3 ideas on where you want to go with your character.
Guardian of Knowhere: After the shift in the Guardians team, Starbolt remains low key and joins their dwindled ranks.
Justice For All: Starbolt comes face to face with the man responsible for the accident that gave him powers.
The Good, the Bad, and the Gladiator: The field leader of the Imperial Guard, Gladiator, catches up to the wanted Starbolt. Can the Guardians survive a confrontation with a super-man?
Sample Post (This is used as an introduction to your writing – try to keep it to around three paragraphs or more and try to include dialogue):
Several months ago...
Starbolt walked down a long hall in the Emperor's Palace on alert. The palace itself was about the size of a small Earth city, to say somebody could get lost in it was an understatement. C' rius looked all around when suddenly Princess Lilandra jumped out at him and then embraced him for a kiss. If the hero couldn't control the temperature of his energy form this would be a problem, but he enjoyed it while he could. A few moments later Starbolt pulled her away.
"If we don't watch it somebody will catch us, Lilandra. We have to be careful..." Sunbolt pleaded.
"I do not care if you are of my people or not, C' rius. I should be able to choose who I wish to be with." the princess proclaimed.
Starbolt looked around for a few moments before turning around.
"I have to get back to my post, before somebody realizes I'm gone..." Starbolt said as he walked away.
Niether of them saw the mohawk'ed Gladiator hiding in the shadows.
Three weeks ago...
Starbolt was in adamantium shackles as well as a power dampening neck device. On the prison planet, that was actually a moon, there were several higher ups walking around in the yard where the prisoners could walk free somewhat. In truth it was more or less airing out after being stuck in cells the size of dog houses. A Shi'ar female, Lilandra in a religious disguise, walked past the former Imperial Guardsman and with a wave of her hand somehow broke or bent one of the chain links enough for Starbolt to separate his hands. Sometime after Lilandra and the other higher ups finished their walk through, after lights out... Starbolt escaped!
At any rate @Natty, if Ded approves of my new guy, best case scenario without our Nova [and letting the dog go] we'd still be down a member or two... SO SOMEBODY GO COSMIC FOR THE GUARDIANS!
