“To Quote a Phrase” is a feature where I spotlight memorable quotes from comic books. Today, we look at a great speech by Captain America in a dark alternate reality. As I’ve noted a number of times in the past, Captain America almost seems to have a secondary superpower of being able to be good at giving speeches. However, what’s interesting to me is that Captain America’s speeches tend to be within the Marvel Universe as we know it. I mean, obviously, that makes sense, as MOST comic books are set in the main Marvel Universe.In 1984’s What If…? #44 (by Peter Gillis, Sal Buscema and Dave Simons), Namor took a different path, and thus did not pass by the Inuit tribe that was worshiping the frozen Captain America back in Avengers #4. So Cap remained frozen for a while longer. Instead, time passed by normally until, in the 1970s, the 1950s Captain America was freed. This was the Captain America invented for a retcon that revealed that the “Commie Smashing” Captain America of the 1950s was not the real Captain America, but a replacement who went too far (he was then revived during Steve Englehart’s run, where he fought against the real Cap).
