Ahh! The US flag. Old Glory. The stars and the stripes. Whatever the nomenclature, the red, white, and blue has become an unwavering symbol for liberty, freedom, and smashing stuff with a vibranium shield! Captain America embodies only the best the US of A has to offer. Cap is smart, a born leader, and is in peak physical condition (not to mention that impressive jaw line) thanks to the super-soldier serum. The man liberally doles out justice with a shield, was turned into an ice cube and didn’t die, and saves the world on a regular basis...what’s not to love about him?
Since Cap is making his return to the silver screen in one week we decided to embrace our love for Captain America, slap on a coat of geek, and create some slick poster-like images. These are the cat’s pajamas! A perfect melding of 1940’s meets 21st century. The minimalist designs personify the most iconic aspects of each character.

2. BLACK WIDOW

Black Widow is an appropriate codename for Natalia “Natasha” Romanoff due to her keen abilities and superior training as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The red mark of the spider is elegant but serves as a warning not to mess with this femme fatale.
3. THE FALCON

The Falcon was Marvel’s first mainstream African-American superhero. He’s a high flyer that was inspired by none other than Captain America to become a symbol to help people. His wings flap to the beat of justice.
4. THE WINTER SOLDIER

This enigmatic villain with an intimidating arm is the unstoppable force in the upcoming movie. The Winter Soldier is a perfect antithesis to Captain America. Is there a connection between these two powerhouses? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
5. NICK FURY

The director of S.H.I.E.L.D is personified by his eye patch and goatee. There have been several versions of Fury but all of them have had the patch and his signature calculating demeanor.
