Description

Captain America vs.� Captain America?

The �impersonation� trope is one of my favorites in comics, and a long-standing tradition in Marvel�s history. In fact, the first time Captain America �appears� in the Silver Age in Strange Tales #114, it�s not Captain America at all. It�s a Human Torch villain, The Acrobat, in disguise.

And this trope was consistently employed throughout the early Marvel Comics. The Skrulls impersonate the Fantastic Four in issue #2, The Chameleon impersonates Spider-Man in ASM #1, and the Avengers are nearly defeated by the shape-changing Space Phantom in issue #2 of their launch title.

Stan was obsessed with this concept, apparently.

For the record, here on this terrific action page by Mike Zeck and John Beatty, the uniformed Cap is the �real� one. The clown impersonating Steve Rogers is Primus, The Mutate.

File that under: �Don�t Ask, Don�t Tell.�
