Captain America is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. As of 2007, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books had been sold in 75 countries. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.
An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers of World War II, Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series.
Scott Pilgrim is a series of graphic stories by Bryan Lee O'Malley. It consists of six digest size black-and-white volumes, released between August 2004 and July 2010, by Portland-based independent comic book publisher Oni Press. It was later republished by Fourth Estate, an imprint of HarperCollins. The series is about 23-year-old Canadian Scott Pilgrim, a slacker and part-time musician who lives in Toronto and plays bass guitar in the band Sex Bob-Omb. He falls in love with American delivery girl Ramona Flowers, but must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her.
A film adaptation of the series titled Scott Pilgrim vs. the World starring actor Michael Cera in the title role was released in August 2010. A videogame of the same name developed by Ubisoft for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade was released the same month.
Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley was inspired to create the series and eponymous character of Scott Pilgrim after listening to Canadian band Plumtree's 1998 single "Scott Pilgrim", a song then-Plumtree singer Carla Gillis describes as "positive, but...also bitter sweet." In particular, O'Malley was inspired by the lyric "I’ve liked you for a thousand years,".
If that is what you're making then why are children naked
Dying in the streets of the day
Homeless this man on a corner begging for a quarter saying sir can you spare some change, oh
I wish that I could take all the pain in the world and make it go away, but I can't
The work you do will sure inspire you
To go loud, scream out, don't stay in a box, break out
Every boy and every girl gotta make a difference in this world,
Gotta make a difference in this world, gotta make a difference in this world
Gotta make, gotta make, gotta make, gotta make, gotta make a difference in this world
Don't go acting like a fool, shoot some schools, violence escalating everyday
Has the world gone mad, looking at we're at?
I'm afraid to have a baby cause it's not safe
I wish that I could take all the pain in the world and make it go away, but I can't
The work you do will sure inspire you
To go loud, scream out, don't stay in a box, break out
Every boy and every girl gotta make a difference in this world,
Gotta make a difference in this world, gotta make a difference in this world
Gotta make, gotta make, gotta make, gotta make, gotta make a difference in this world
I still believe that with love we can conquer
All men are equal and God is our Father
Ain't nobody gotta hate tonight, nobody got a dynamite, oh
Now we will join hands tonight six billion straw won't stop them go
Go loud, scream out, don't stay in a box, break out
Every boy and every girl gotta make a difference in this world,
Gotta make a difference in this world, gotta make a difference in this world
Gotta make, gotta make, gotta make, gotta make, gotta make a difference in this world
I still believe that with love we can conquer
All men are equal and God is our Father
Gotta make a difference in this world, gotta make a difference in this world
