Not everyone was happy with [Captain America]. This may surprise some people, but before America entered World War II there was actually a strong pro-Nazi sentiment in the United States. So much so that Simon and Kirby [Cap’s creators] received death threats and mail disparaging them in their creation, not helped by the fact that the two were also Jewish. In fact, a pro-Nazi group called ‘The German-American Bund’ once marched in front of Timely’s offices [one of Marvel Comics predecessors]. The two called in the police for protection, and they sure as hell got it! As it turned out, then mayor of New York, Fiorello LaGuardia, was a fan of Captain America and actually called them up to tell them “You boys over there are doin’ a good job. The city of New York will see that no harm will come to you.”

Never let it be swept under the rug. There was a lot of pressure for America to either stay neutral, or even to go in on the side of the Nazi’s, before Pearl Harbor (and after, to only declare war on Japan). Celebrities like Charles Lindbergh were pro Nazi, and not shy about their opinions. (via cheeseburger-and-vine)

Captain America was created by two Jews during World War II and you’re telling me he’d be a conservative. (via teamcapsicle)

Unnecessary and Irrelevant Complaining

Whoever originally wrote "1 universe, 8 planets, 204 countries, 809 islands, 7 seas, 7 Billion people" needs to do some fact checking before they write anything else because the Thousand Islands region has 1,864 Islands, and the Philippines has 7,107 islands.
