10 Incredibly Manly Comic-Book Moments

captainamerica SIZED6. Captain America is Stone ColdAvengers #275
The evil Baron Zemo has invaded the Avengers mansion (because the world’s foremost team of badass superheroes cohabitate Big Brother-style.) He then proceeds to hogtie Captain American and, in an attempt to break the super soldier’s spirit, orders his thugs savagely beat up the Avengers’ butler (seriously) and destroy Cap’s keepsake original shield right in front of him. When taunted with “What are you going to do about it?” Cap just stares down Zemo and says, “I’ll remember this.” No histrionics, no macho posturing, no gritting his teeth while shaking his fist. Just calm, cool, and vengeful. Those are some super-serum cojones right there.
