“My father, Jack Kirby, along with his partner Joe Simon, created Captain America in 1941.
“He was created by two Jewish guys from New York who hated Nazis and hated bullies.

I was appalled and mortified.
I believe I even caught a quick glance of someone with a Captain America shield.
A quick Google search turned up Trump as Captain America on T-shirts, posters, even a flag!
These images are disgusting and disgraceful.
Captain America is the absolute antithesis of Donald Trump.
Where Captain America is selfless, Trump is self-serving.
Where Captain America fights for our country and democracy, Trump fights for personal power and autocracy.
Where Captain America stands with the common man, Trump stands with the powerful and privileged.
Where Captain America is courageous, Trump is a coward.
Captain America and Trump couldn’t be more different.
These images are an insult to both their memories.
Several of our presidents held the same values as Captain America.
Donald Trump is not one of them.”
Chris Evans, who embodies Captain America on screen, denounced the rioters' actions on Jan. 6.
