Captain America: 13 Foot 75th Anniversary Bronze Statue coming to SDCC '16

In honor of the Star Spangled Avenger's 75th Anniversary as well as the timely birthday celebration of Steve Rogers this Fourth of July, Marvel is going to unveil a 13 Foot Bronze Statue of Captain America at this year's San Diego Comic Con - which happens in just a few weeks time! The news broke via USA Today - paired along with an image of a sketch of the upcoming statue that has the inscription "I'm just a kid from Brooklyn". That line of course comes from 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, where a defiant Steve Rogers tells the Red Skull that he's just an ordinary guy who was chosen by Dr. Erskine because that's what he is in addition to being a good man. Replicas of the statue will also be sold during SDCC, so be sure to visit USA Today and Comic Book.com for more info on the story.

Happy 75 Years, Captain America! THUMBS UP SOLDIER!

Happy Fourth of July! Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, celebrates his birthday today!

Happy Fourth of July to all the people in the United States celebrating their Independence Day today! While it certainly is a public holiday stateside, this date also marks the fictional birthday of one Steven Grant Rogers... Better known to the comic book world as Captain America!

Yes, Cap's birthday is July 4, as detailed in his profile and even the Marvel Wiki. To top it off, this year marked his 75th Anniversary and the long awaited return to active duty (complete with new costume and a controversy that's now explained with the most recent issue released).

In honor of the Star Spangled Avenger's day as well as July 4th, here's a trailer chronicling the evolution and journey of a "good man" into the hero we know him to be.
