The mere fact that it was a given that he was a placeholder in the Cap role ment I really never thought of him that way. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the stories that came out of it, but he never really shook the Winter Soldier.

He was a great temporary Cap but there there is only one cap and it was temporary. I'm enjoying the hell of the Winter Soldier comic.

Winter Soldier. He needs to be his own character, no one will ever be Cap except Steve.

Winter Soldier.

But I would've preferred him to stay as Cap longer than he did.

It's back in 2004 where the decision to bring him back was made (and thank god it turned out as well as it did, because this could've been a disaster like I'm expecting the Genis Veil revival to be, if it does happen).

As for me, with all of the material we have on us right now (and if I was going to commit to a vote) I would rather have Bucky as Cap, because that part of the story had so many more chapters to be written before he moved onto to the next phase of his story. It also doesn't help that I continue to feel that Bucky shouldn't be Winter Solider, either, but I'm giving Brubaker time to sell me on this being the right move (he hasn't so far, but it's only been 2 Issues).

So my final answer is Other as in "Waiting to see"

The way he is written Bucky is more comfortable as Winter Solider. Having him as Cap played the part of the over all story-arc but I think that with the new WS series he will be able to really shine more.

Captain America.

Killing of Captain America and replacing him was a great idea. Steve is done as a character pretty much IMO. Even Bru's legendary earlier run focused more on supporting characters changing rather than Steve, and the way he died was a beautiful moment in one of Marvels best ever events.

His whole "man out of time" arc is over. Of course it is, he's been around for over 60 years. It's a bit much for him to be like "I remember back in my day" when we're on Captain America #570.

Bucky was a great addition as the new Cap. Someone who could never live up to the old ideology, and a much more flawed "Marvel" hero. Steve has taught him for years, he fell, and now no matter how much he is redeemed, he could never live up to the Captain America the public want.

I think that's a great story waiting to be told, unfortunately we'll never read it, because instead of killing his arch enemy, Red Skull merely shot him with a gun which made Steve relive his past memories over and over again. Lame.

A Marvel Universe without Cap is one infinitely more interesting to me.
