Marvel Comics Buries Captain AmericaJun 30, 7:15 PM EST
It's a funeral fit for a superhero.
In the drizzling rain at Arlington National Cemetery, thousands of grieving patriots solemnly watch as the pallbearers — Iron Man, the Black Panther, Ben Grimm and Ms. Marvel — carry a casket draped with an American flag.
Yes, folks, Captain America is dead and buried in the latest issue of Marvel Comics' "Fallen Son," due on newsstands the morning after Independence Day. After 66 years of battling villains from Adolf #### to the Red Skull, the red, white and blue leader of the Avengers was felled by an assassin's bullet on the steps of a New York federal courthouse.
He was headed to court after refusing to sign the government's Superhero Registration Act, a move that would have revealed his true identity. A sniper who fired from a rooftop was captured as police and Captain America's military escort were left to cope with chaos in the streets.
But the sniper didn't act alone, and didn't even fire the shot that killed the captain.
Writer Jeph Loeb has been busy working through the stages of grief in his most recent titles. A book centered on Wolverine dealt with denial; one with the Avengers covered anger; and Spider-Man battled depression.
With the story line so relevant to present-day politics, and the timing of the latest issue so precise, it's hard not to think the whole thing is one big slam on the government.
"Part of it grew out of the fact that we are a country that's at war, we are being perceived differently in the world," Loeb said. "He wears the flag and he is assassinated — it's impossible not to have it at least be a metaphor for the complications of present day."
But Loeb says he was working with more personal material: the death of his 17-year-old son from cancer.
"So many people have lost their sons and daughters over the years, for the greater good or to cancer or other horrible things," said Loeb, an executive producer for NBC's "Heroes." "I wanted this to be something people would identify with."
In the final frames of the book, the Falcon delivers a eulogy asking superheros old and young to stand up and honor Captain America.
Captain America, whose secret identity was Steve Rogers, was an early member of the pantheon of comic book heroes that began with Superman in the 1930s.
He landed on newsstands in March 1941, nine months before Pearl Harbor — delivering a punch to #### on the cover of his first issue, a sock-in-the-jaw reminder that there was a war on and the United States was not involved.
Since then, Marvel Entertainment Inc., has sold more than 200 million copies of Captain America magazine in 75 countries.
In the most recent story line, he became involved in a superhero "civil war," taking up sides against Iron Man in the registration controversy, climaxed by his arrest and assassination.
Marvel says you never know what will happen. He may make it back from the dead after all, although Loeb says that question isn't really important right now.
"The question is, how does the world continue without this hero?" he said. "If that story of his return gets told further down the line, great. But everyone's still been dealing with his loss."They aren't going to wake up and it's a dream, like it's some episode of 'Dallas.'"
CAPTAIN AMERICA HE DIDNT HAVE THE FLASH AND GLITZ ANDN THE GLAMOUR OF A SUPERMAN OR WELL, FLASH OR BATMAN WOLVERINE ETC BUT HE DID HIS JOB HE WAS UNDER THE RADAR AS FAR AS POULARITY ALL HE DID WAS GET THE JOB DONE . AS WAS MENTIONED HE FIRST CAME OUT AT A TIME WHEN WE WERE AT WAR .. A TIME WHEN HEROS BOTH ON AND OFF THE BATTLEFIELD WERE NEEDED TO TAKE OUR MINDS OFF WHAT WAS GOIN ON OVER SEAS . TODAY WHILE THE WAR IN IRAQ IS GOING ON THE MESSAGE THAT CAPTAIN AMERICA STOOD FOR STILL HOLDS TRUE EVEN TODAY .. LOOK AT WHAT WE AS A NATION HAVE BEEN THROUGH .. 911 .. THE IRAQ WAR .. WW1 AND WWII .. AS WE COME UP ON OUR NATIONS BIRTHDAY WE SHOULD LOOK BACK AND SAY THANK YOU AND GIVE PRAISE TO A MAN ALTHOUGH FICTIONAL WHAT HE STOOD FOR WAS ALL TO REAL .. TRUTH JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY . R.I.P. STEVE ROGERS AKA CAPTAIN AMERICA 1941 - 2007 .. GOD BLESS YOU
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, but said that couldn't be confirmed until evidence was examined by a crime lab.
The station said that investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.
Lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department, told The Associated Press the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and that the causes of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday. Pope said the bodies were discovered about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.
The house is in a secluded neighborhood set back about 60 yards of####ravel road, surrounded by stacked stone wall and a double-iron gate. On Monday night, the house was dark except for a few outside lights. There was a police car in front, along with two uniformed officers.
Benoit was a former world heavyweight and Intercontinental champion. He also held several tag-team titles during his career.
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its Web site.
Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."
The native of Canada maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
"My relationship with Chris has extended many years and I consider him a great friend," Carl DeMarco, the president of WWE Canada, said in a statement. "Chris was always first-class — warm, friendly, caring and professional one of the best in our business."
