Soooo . . New Steve outfit?






My first though is . . . OMG Ultimate!Steve has attacked and replaced 616 Steve.

I don't know about anyone else, but my canon is that Steve went to Bucky and asked Bucky for some rejected design that Bucky didn't use because he didn't have time to come up for something for himself. So Bucky gave him this one. Steve then asked why Bucky didn't use it because it look far less goofy and Bucky said he felt obligated to have wings on his head. But then in all seriousness, with the uncovered head and the general look, he'd passed on it because he felt the costume looked more like and updating of his Bucky uniform then it did of Cap's uniform.

Five hours later what Bucky said finally sinks in and Steve goes HEY! Wait a second, and runs after Bucky.

Anyway
It's not that I dislike the outfit. I actually think i'ts spiffy. It's just not a 616 Steve Rogers look in my mind. It's a Bucky Barnes or Ultimate Steve Rogers look.

On the other hand, relevant to this community, I think Tony would adore this. *L*

In a more serious note, I like it. It's not what we're used to seeing for Captain America, and that's good because Steve ISN'T really filling that role anymore, Bucky is. So naturally, Steve's going for a different look since the part of his life that was kind of taken over by the Captain America role is over - Steve's going to move on (which might be better, since now he can grow as a character beyond that heavy iconography). He's still going to be Steve, just not Cap in the official sense.
