You're a Captain America fan? You mean, I'm not ALONE in a sea of "Iron Man rooolz!"?
It's a relief, I tell you.
CA reminds me, actually, of Aral Vorkosigan: characters with a deep inner core of self-governance, whose acts spring from that core, unconsciously.
Black Widow is Bothari, flexible morals and all; Fury is Ezar, using them all for a better peace. Loki, of course, is Vorrutyer, being dragged down by forces he doesn't really understand. They aren't perfect parallels, and not all of them (as I don't think Iron Man and Miles are quite enough alike), but the structural similarities really struck me.
