Court
battle erupts over
Captain America's remains
By John Breneman
The shocking death of Captain America at the hands of a sniper
last week has sparked a furious courtroom battle over where
the iconic superhero and World War II veteran should be buried.
Iron Man testified that Captain America once told him he
wanted to be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.
However, that is considered unlikely because he refused to
submit to a Bush administration policy requiring mandatory
federal registration of all superheroes.
Born Steve Rogers on July 4, 1917, and known as Cap to those
closest to him, Mr. America first achieved fame for battling
the Nazis during World War II and Commies during the 1950s.
Longtime friend the Sub-Mariner claims Caption America wanted
to be buried in a block of ice in the North Atlantic, but
fellow Avenger the Human Torch told the National Enquirer,
"Cap always said that, when the time came, he wanted
me to cremate him."
