I like it. I actually prefer that the wings are painted on (reminds me of the point they make in Watchmen about capes being a bad idea.... lol ).

Edward, if they follow Captain America's usual continuity, there's no gap. Cap gets accidentally frozen late in the war, then spends decades trapped in an iceberg until the Avengers discover him and thaw him out...
Edward, if they follow Captain America's usual continuity, there's no gap. Cap gets accidentally frozen late in the war, then spends decades trapped in an iceberg until the Avengers discover him and thaw him out. Having no family or friends left - aside from old war buddies turned superheroes like Nick Fury and Reed Richards(*) - he joins the Avengers.
Since all Marvel heroes have to have problems, he spends angsty years as a "man out of time" trying to come to terms with the present... when he's not busy kicking lots of villainous ass.
( * This worked in the early sixties, as the war was only 20 years in the past. Now that Reed Richards' "updated" backstory doesn't include having been in the OSS...)
Kingdom Come from DC does exactly this. Highly recommended reading.It does interest me to see how all these superhero mythologies get remade anew for each generation, keeping the heroes young and in their prime (for the most part... guys like Wolverine aside). I think it would be interesting to see some of them get old and slow...
