1-1 Those lousy traitors! They can't do that to Cap!
1-2 He's a commie fake!
1-3 Let's show 'em they can't do this to real Americans!
Soldier
2-1 Don't worry, Cap! They won't rush the stage! These kind have their dirty work done for them!
Cap
2-2 I almost hope they do try something!
3-1 Listen to me—all of you out there! You were told by this man—your hero—that America is the greatest country in the world!
4-1 He told you that Americans were the greatest people—that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly!
4-2 He went on about how precious America was—how you needed to make sure it remained great!
4-3 And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America!
5-1 Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals—its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash!
5-2 A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth!!
6-1 I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could as easily be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different from them!
6-2 When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn America into nothing!
6-3 And the only reason you're not less than nothing—
7-1 —is that it's still possible for you too bring freedom back to America!

7-2 There is a long silence, then…

7-3 Th-that is him!! That's the real Captain America!

@liamvhogan Chortle. Have you seen the latest #xkcd #whatIf video about using rifles for jet packs?

Using the term “rifle” fairly, ahh, loosely…

Page 36 of #WhatIf no.44 - In panel 1, Steve Cap's back is to us, and William Cap looks towards him and us, his shield broken and his eyes wild. In panels 2 & 3, in shades of yellow with dramatic motion lines, Steve wails on William. In panels 4 & 5, William is shaking, stuttering, pleading with Steve, and in panel 6, William collapses face-first, completely done in.

William Burnside Cap:
1-1 All right! You're better than me! You may even be the original—the commies may have dug you up—but you won't destroy America! You won't destroy my country!

Steve Rogers Cap:
2-1 Oh yes I will!!
2-2 Your country isn't America monster, it's Hell! And it's pressed down on America for too long!!
3-1 So swears Captain America!!
4-1 That's it, fight on! I want to tear that costume from your Nazi body!!

Steve:
4-2 You—lousy red—betray everything—

William:
5-1 All my life—loved America—no traitor—seen it run down—spit on the flag—get all of them who—you can't—America needs me!!

Steve:
5-2 Needs you!?
6-1 Only as a reminder, mad-man! Only as a reminder!

Page 35 of #WhatIf no.44 - Two Captains America duke it out across seven panels of this comic from April 1, 1984. In the final panel, Steve Rogers Cap uses his shield to shatter William Burnside Cap's shield.

Steve Rogers Cap:
1-1 Get up! You're just like all the rest! War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength! Get up so I can knock you down!!

William Burnside Cap:
1-2 You're good, I'll grant you that, Commie!
2-1 But I'm— Wha?!!

Steve:
2-2 Too slow by half, imitator!
3-1 Freedom only to those 'worthy' of it—
4-1 —and you decide who's worthy of it! You make me sick!!

William:
5-1 I'll make you more that that, you fake! You'd put freedom in the hands of criminals who would destroy our way of life!!

Steve:
5-2 You would destroy everything!
6-1 You're everything I was meant to fight, monster! Your hatred of others, your denial of others humanity, you're a Nazi smear on the American flag!
7-1 And while I live I'll stop you—expose you—vanquish you—destroy you!!

William:
7-2 My shield! It's not possible!!

What if politely declining an offer (like 'no thanks, I'm full') meant you then had to perform a small, sincere gesture of gratitude for the *offer itself*? Suddenly, saying no is a much bigger production.

Have you ever wanted to experiment with different AIs and Robots? You don't need to do it yourself.
Check this YT channel. Interesting, funny (still) but also a bit scary, considering how much effort bigtec is pushing to develope more and more advanced AI and even combining it with even faster developing Robots.
