When “Sam Wilson” takes leaps and bounds to be the new “Captain America” ​​in “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, just like it happened in the comics, Marvel reminds us that the legacy of “Steve Rogers” continues to inspire new heroes who protect their respective communities.

As part of the celebration of the 80 years of the creation of Joe Simon Y Jack Kirby, Cartoon “The United States of Captain America“It shows” Rogers, “” John Walker, “” Sam Wilson “and” Bucky Barnes “- all bearers of the symbol on occasion – working together to retrieve” Cap’s “stolen shield.

This journey will take you to meet different local heroes influenced by the legacy of the Sentinel of Liberty, featuring a different one in each issue of the five-issue miniseries.

We already met Aaron Fisher“the first LGBTQ +” Captain America “and defender of the runaways and homeless. Now, Marvel Comics introduces us to “Nichelle Wright”, the new “Captain America” ​​of the black community of the United States.

The character, created by the South African screenwriter Mohale Mashigo (Marvel Voices: Legacy) and the Spanish cartoonist Natacha Bustos (Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur), will debut in the companion story that will come in The United States of Captain America #2, to be published in June next.

The young heroine, known as the “Harrisburg Captain America“-the capital of Pennsylvania- works “day and night to bring change to a world where she feels defeated”, described the screenwriter in statements collected by CBR.

Mashigo said that “Nichelle is a light in a dark time and wants to reclaim her community and her space in the United States.”

In turn, Bustos highlighted the opportunity to create this new “Capi”, because “there are very few occasions when you have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of such a genuine and powerful character as Nichelle. He is, without a doubt, one of the characters that I am most proud to have designed, for all that he represents and what he means for the community. “

In your story, when the shield thief incriminates you for a crime, will your community come to your defense?

There are still three new characters inspired by “Steve Rogers” to meet., but one thing is clear: the symbol is still very present in all corners of the Marvel universe. For now, we leave you with the covers of # 2 of the miniseries, clearly dedicated to “Nichelle.”
