tbh steve rogers is the best “superhero” because he’s the only one that all of us can actually be a little more like

realistically none of us are going to be building metal suits and becoming iron man, or hulking out, or summoning lightning with our minds, those are all fantastical things

but steve rogers only has the superhero name captain america because of the actions steve rogers has been exhibiting his whole life, even as a sickly small guy

and all of us can be a little kinder to people, all of us can speak up when we see things going wrong, all of us can stand up for people that can’t stand up for themselves, all of us can make change in the world, big or small – even if that change is fighting a guy in a back alley for treating people with disrespect – all of us can try and give a voice to the voiceless, all of us can object to injustice and inequality. those are the reasons steve rogers is a superhero, not because he can punch hard and heal fast, and that’s why he’s the best, because every single one of us can really be a superhero if we try being a bit more like steve

;A; This is why fucking with his character can be so heartbreaking to fans.
