Joe Quesada took to The Colbert Report, as he has many times before, for another Captain America themed announcement. This time, Marvel Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer and former Editor-in-Chief came not to just give Stephen Colbert a replica of the Shield, but to announce who would be next to hold that shield in the pages of the comics.
Yes, as we've reported repeatedly, Sam Wilson, he who has been The Falcon, will take up the shield, the title, and the costume of Captain America.
"I don't have to tell you that the world is falling apart under Barack Obama's leadership," Colbert said. "We're losing one of our greatest leaders, Captain America. He won our hearts back in 1941 by punching Hitler in the face!
"Unfortunately, Cap's days of protecting America are numbered," the host said. He caught his viewers up on recent events in Captain America, which saw him lose the Super Soldier serum and age "65 years. Meaning his new super serum will be Ensure," he joked. "With Steve Rogers brought low there's a huge void in the Captaining of America. Who among us is prepared to step in?"
