In English, lower case man (pl. men) refers to an adult human male (the term boy is the usual term for a human male child or adolescent). Sometimes it is also used as an adjective to identify a set of male humans, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "men's rights". Although men typically have a male reproductive system, some intersex people with ambiguous genitals, and biologically female transgender people, may also be classified or self-identify as a "man".
The term manhood is used to refer to masculinity, the various qualities and characteristics attributed to men such as strength and male sexuality.
The English term "man" is derived from Old English mann. The Old English form had a default meaning of "adult male" (which was the exclusive meaning of "wer"), though it could signify a person of unspecified gender. The closely related "man" was used just as it is in Modern German to designate "one" (e.g., as in the saying Man muss mit den Wölfen heulen). The Old English form is derived from Proto-Germanic *mannaz, "persona", which is also the etonym of German Mann "man, husband" and man "one" (pronoun), Old Norse maðr, and Gothic manna. According to Tacitus, the mythological progenitor of the Germanic tribes was called Mannus. The Germanic form is in turn derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *manu-s "man, person", which is also the root of the Indian name Manu, mythological progenitor of the Hindus.
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.

Plot: The brief moment when a man waits to find out if he's going to be a father. A moment for reflection on the life he has lived. A life filled with failed expectations and wasted ambition; a plan that was never mastered or realized. Will becoming a father bring this plan to an end or give it a new beginning? Plan B is the inner monologue of a man questioning his achievements, lingering on the dreams he once had, and his struggle to cope with what lies ahead of him.

Genres: Horror, Mystery, Short, Thriller,Hey man where you been
you can't run away
from the life you made your own
now that it's gone and left you down and out
you're not so complete
now what do you say
all the answers you propose
nobody chose to hear this time around
hey man you're so vain
you rise up again
to perform to pressure now
no way to treat that precious heart at all
calm down you're too proud
now what do you know
you present some facts to face
but nobody chose to look this time around
head in the clouds
no silver lining
what could be wrong
hey man why so blue
what's come over you
sentimental apathy
ain't gonna buy no sympathy today
wide world wearing thin
wild words deafening
shout about integrity
and then you go and throw your dignity away
we're all the same
we're all to blame
what could be wrong, yeah
hey man you got carried away
carrying on the games that you play
playing is not the way to win
'cos winning can be a way that you lose
and losing is not the way you would choose
given the choice you're trying to change
changing again you're carried away
do you remember the day
so long ago so far behind
that history wrought in the fire
that filled your mind with mad desire
chasing the centuries down
long roads you cut through flesh and field
pulling the past as you run
and it's dragged you to your knees
it's time to pray
it's getting harder to pay
too many people
for the rent
given a number of ways
is there no way you can change
