It’s amazing that some fictional characters can live their own life like that. In the hearts of real heroes. No stupid or cruel plot twists can change that.

Steve Rogers vs. Captain America

It’s the duality that has plagued Steve Rogers’ double life since he first donned the star-spangled tights, but has he ever found the answer to the question: Is Steve Rogers and Captain America one and the same?

As a fan, you must have asked yourself: Can one truly love Steve Rogers without loving Captain America? Can one truly love Captain America without loving Steve Rogers? Even some say that you’re not a true Captain America fan if you don’t love Steve Rogers as much as, or more than, you love Captain America. 

What about the character himself? Steve has always referred to himself as Steve Rogers when he lives his private life, and as Captain America when he’s out wearing a red, white, and blue costume, saving lives and helping people. 

For us fans, it’s just a matter of geek knowledge. Elitists don’t consider you a fan when you don’t know the history of Steve Rogers. Heck, comic book elitists don’t consider you a “true fan” when all you know about Captain America and/or Steve Rogers came from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Why take pride in loving Steve Rogers more than Captain America when the only Steve Rogers you know is the one in the movies? Such elitist questions, I cannot even.

But what about Steve? What does the man himself think of his own dual identity? Let’s find out (note: this is my own opinion, with a few snaps from the comics to back it up).

Steve Rogers thinks he and Captain America are one and the same, vice versa.

For even without his shield and red-white-and-blues, he is still Captain America.

“I’m still Steve Rogers, but Steve Rogers is Captain America! Perhaps the super-soldier formula does make me stronger, faster, but it doesn’t change who, or what, I am! If my search for my forgotten past has taught me anything, it’s that Captain America and Steve Rogers are one, as inseparable as life and death!?”

The 70s was a turbulent time for Steve Rogers’ identity, but as the crisis came to a close, he finally embraced the idea that he and Captain America are one and the same, inseparable, you cannot love one without loving the other, you must love both. But that means he acknowledged that Steve and Cap are different because you must love them both (which means there’s two) at the same time, right? No. There’s only one man but you just have to accept the nature of his job, whether you’re a friend or a lover.

Here’s what happened when Steve’s ex-girlfriend couldn’t accept the fact that he is Captain America. Steve imposed a catch-22 (great novel if I might add) upon himself: He can’t tell his loved ones his secret until they become close enough, and he can’t become close enough to them until he tells them his secret. Now that’s tough, but why do people like Nick Fury, Sharon Carter, and others not have a problem with that? Because they know Captain America’s secret identity and have no problems with Steve being Captain America. They know and accept both parts of his life wholeheartedly.

Connie: It’s like… your job… as Captain America… is what comes first. And there’s no room for anyone else. Steve: Yeah. I hate to admit it to myself, but I guess that’s true.

When asked what he thinks of himself, his daily life, whether he pictures himself as Steve Rogers or Captain America, he couldn’t answer.

“Instead of Steve Rogers looking for a relationship, maybe it’s Captain America who should.”

But then Steve suddenly thanks her for helping him realize who he really is (Captain America) and who he really wants (Sharon Carter). Steve finally embraced his destiny as Captain America, that he doesn’t want the wife, kids, and white picket fence dream. Steve wants to be with someone who loves Captain America as much as he does, but knows that he’s Steve Rogers and sometimes, he too can also make mistakes.

Sharon: You went back to who Captain America really was. What about Steve Rogers? Steve: I’m not sure… there’s a difference. It’s not like there’s two of me. There’s just… me. Powerful as this symbol is… it’s a uniform. Beneath it, I’m still the same man.

Next time you see someone wearing a Captain America shirt but doesn’t know who Steven Grant Rogers is, just be glad there’s someone who believes in Captain America, and anyone who believes in Captain America, believes in Steve Rogers (…though they’re unaware of it).

I don't understand. There are sports where people wear skintight suits all the time. Like skiing, for example. What's the problem? She looks fantastic in it.
