The son of the co-founder of Captain America says that the Capitol Hill hooligans have perverted the superhero

“Captain America is the ultimate opposite of Donald Trump,” Neil Kirby told CNN reporter Jake Taber. statement Wednesday.

“Where Captain America is selfless, Trump is serving himself. Where Captain America fights for our country and democracy, Trump fights for personal power and tyranny.”

On Wednesday, January 6, hundreds of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed their way inside the Capitol building during the Electoral College vote-counting ceremony to confirm the victory of President-elect Joe Biden.

While watching videos of the riot, Kirby said he “noticed someone wearing a Trump / Captain America shirt” and thought he “peeked at someone wearing Captain America’s armor” – photos he said he found revolting.

Neil Kirby’s father, the late Jack Kirby, created the superhero with his partner Joe Simon in the early 1940’s. The duo created Captain America for Timely Comics, Marvel’s predecessor and comedy, was a huge success during WWII.

“In WWII, National Soldier Steve Rogers, the recipient of ‘Super Soldier Serum’, a living symbol of freedom, became Captain America,” Marvel Comics. “The dead hero was left frozen in the ice, the brilliant hero woke up with indestructible armor years later to continue his never-ending battle for freedom.”

Kirby said Captain America defended what was right without holding back, and the underdog.

“My dad, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, the creators of Captain America and World War II veterans, will be very angry at these pictures,” Kirby said. “These pictures are an insult to all of their memories.”
