Canada Needs To Pick Its True Captain America

While there are numerous Canadian heroes in Marvel Comics, none of the heroes from Canada have represented the country quite like Captain America has represented the United States. There have been several candidates from different publishers, across several decades, but none of them has lasted the test of time or become as beloved and popular as Steve Rogers. With so many worthy candidates and a rise in superhero media, it's time for Canada to finally decide which hero its citizens want to represent them.

Several heroes are Canadian and have been popular throughout history, particularly in Marvel Comics. These have included Wolverine, Deadpool, Northstar, and even a super team with Alpha Flight (Vindicator, Guardian, Shaman, Sasquatch, Puck, and Snowbird). Wolverine would arguably be the most popular Canadian hero in comics considering his long comic history and ability to maintain his own titles or stay on the primary X-Men team. However, few people would consider him patriotic like Captain America and he certainly wouldn't include Canada within his codename. The superheroes who have most been like Captain America in terms of patriotism and direct inclusion of the country's name, locations, or iconography are Captain Newfoundland/Captain Canada, Captain Canuck, Johnny Canuck, and Major Mapleleaf.

He was created by the team of Geoff Stirling, his son Scott Stirling, and Marvel/DC artist Danny Bulanadi. Geoff Stirling had founded the Sunday Herald, as well as other media
