Cap's back...kinda

Okay, I read it, and I don't get it. What's with the last picture? I know there is *something* on his chest and that should mean *something*... but I couldn't make it out/figure it out. Could someone explain that to me? (Maybe I'm just old...  :blink:)

[spoiler]I know what you're referring to, so I'll attempt to explain it. The guy on the table is "Steve" and a "Captain America" but he just happens to also be "The Grand Director"....possibly. If I remember correctly, this "steve" got burned in a fire which would explain the image. Or, it could just be makeup or something. Either way, it'd work for me.[/spoiler]

Going off Previsionary's spoiler....

[spoiler]"The Grand Director" was the 1950's anti-commie Cap, and is how they reconciled there being a Cap and Bucky active in the 1950's. But he later went nutso, and he supposedly died in the same mass suicide explosion that Sharon Carter was supposed to have died in, if I remember right. He's not a clone or anything, just a nut who had plastic surgery to make himself look like Steve Rogers and took on the Rogers identity and the reason he went nuts is because the super soldier formula he (and his Bucky, aka Nomad, now deceased thanks to Winter Soldier, apparently) took was unstable.[/spoiler]

Well, that's a lot to take in. And I thought I knew a thing or two about comics. Thanks for the info guys, it is helpful.  :)

Yeah, and its crappy what they did. I now have a NEW #1 candidate for who I hope Bucky shoots in the head, knocking the Red Skull down to #2.

Latest issue is out and I'll just say...welcome back "Steve Rogers"...Now go away. :P

Also, yay for Bucky continuing to grow more confident in his role and caring what some people think of him.
