I love those power grids, though I feel like his fighting skill should be a lot higher.
that’s a lot of info… wow….
@jashcraft1014 And his intelligence. He isn’t stupid, he’s a good leader and tactician.
What, no Liefled Cap Costume?
/Yes, I’m totally kidding.
//I’d also like to believe that Heroes Reborn never happened.
I always feel like when I see that power grid for Cap it seems a little too weak.
@Multihuller for realz, although why they would even give him a 1 on energy projection is beyond me
@kennyg That one is debatable though on this scale. Do you have to be book smart in order to lead people, or do you just have to know how to fight and how to inspire people. Steve is smart but I think on this kind of scale it’s more about book smarts like Reed and Tony.
Wow, it’s so hard to believe comics used to sale over a million copies. I wish it was still that way.
This is pretty cool. The best part how the time line starts very detailed and then drops of. “In 1965 he shared a title with Iron Man. Then, nothing happened for 40 years until he was shot in the gut.”
I wonder who the artist was for “The Classic” in the “The Costume” portion. Love it!
@Andrew I think that’s Romita Sr.
@RoiVampire Yeah going by the old trading cards ussually 1 is normal 2 is peak human and 3 is superhuman so I think 2 is a good score.
@Heroville @Andrew A lot of those pictures portraying characters in full costume that were always used in the old Marvel “biography” pages and the like were done by John Romita Sr or (I believe) Sal Buscema, if I’m not mistaken. So the Romita Sr speculation is most likely spot on.
@Andrew — I’m almost 100% sure that it’s Mike Zeck. That picture is from one of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe series.
@ultimatehoratio Yeah, I think that’s Zeck too.
Yep, it’s Zeck: here’s the original piece. (Scroll down)

I just realized what that website is. Oh internets, you never cease to amaze me.
Yep, nothing happened in the history of Captain America comics from 1965-2007.
Thank goodness they didn’t mention Heroes Reborn.
That power grid ain’t flattering.
I’m fairly certain that is far more than I needed to know about Captain America.
Brilliant infographic. Had no idea on about the atlas comics. Anyone know what made them a commerical failure? Were they reprints?
@ultimatehoratio Thanks! I had a slight suspicion it was Zeck, but wasn’t sure. I always appreciate when others do the research I am too lazy to do.
