About 20 years before I was born, there was a huge war that spread over the entire world. It was between one empire that wanted to take over and was killing people, including kids, just for the parents they were born to, and the countries that were fighting back.
[Complex sociopolitical topics according to Nita.]
Cap volunteered for a special treatment that might have killed him, but instead turned him into a great soldier, and he led a team into German--those were the bad guys--into German-occupied territory, and won some of the greatest victories for the Allies--those were the good guys. My cousin was on that team, and Steven Rogers--Captain America--and his other teammates are still the only surface-dwellers he respects completely.
[Mandorallen might be getting the impression Nita grew up on stories of Cap et al.'s WWII exploits. It would be an accurate impression.]
Cap is--okay, that shield you've got? Not just anybody's worthy of carrying it. You have to be someone who can face of great evil and not give up, who'd stand and fight despite certain death because it was the right thing to do. Some weapons are only weapons, but that shield *means* something about the best people can be.
[If Cap ever sees this, he's going to be *so* embarrassed.]
