It’s not been a good year for Captain America. First, he was on the losing end of Marvel’s Civil War. Then he was arrested and mocked for not knowing about MySpace. And finally, he was gunned down on the steps of the federal courthouse.
Now, to add insult to injuries, he’s been arrested again — this time allegedly for trying to take liberties with a woman and, uh, a burrito. Or at least someone dressed like Captain America was.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Florida physican Raymond Adamcik — dressed as the Sentinel of Liberty for a superhero-themed party for doctors, nurses and pharmaceutical salespeople — was arrested Saturday night on charges that he approached a woman with a burrito in his hand, said “dirty things” and then groped her.
The woman reportedly shoved Adamcik away, then her boyfriend knocked him down while someone called police:
Officers ordered all the Captain Americas — there were four or five in the restaurant — to go to the parking lot for a lineup. Batman and Superman snapped cell-phone pictures.
The woman identified Adamcik as her attacker. Police took away Captain America’s shield and hauled him to jail.
To make matters worse, police reportedly caught Cap trying to flush marijuana down the toilet after his arrest.
Florida’s WKMG TV website has some funny/sad/surreal screen captures from the police security camera of Adamcik unmasking.

Will Iron Man stop at nothing to ruin Cap’s reputation?

It seemed a little too messed up…until they mentioned the marijuana.
Now it all makes sense.

I’d heard the burrito was in his pants.

“Officers ordered all the Captain Americas — there were four or five in the restaurant — to go to the parking lot for a lineup. Batman and Superman snapped cell-phone pictures.”
Best. Paragraph. Ever.

I bet Cap links to this on his MySpace page.
Oh, wait.

Dude, this is too freakin’ funny for words…

“What do you think this “A” stands for, France?”
How about, “Ah wish ah’d finished my burrito.”

He’s still my hero. Hell, I respect him more now than I ever did.

All celebrities have their public meltdowns. At least the paparazzi didn’t get Britney-Spears-style pictures of Cap spreading his legs. After saving the world so many times, Cap deserves a little fun with a burrito.

I live in Melbourne, Florida where this happened andhave been to the bar where Cap was arrested. Trust me, this isn’t unusual for us. Noe, when they busted Spidey and Thor for the meth lab here…that was messed up.

Collectors often sell lots of comics and manga on Ebay for less than the cover price. You also might have some luck perusing garage sales and second hand shops. As for comic specialty stores, in my experience, they tend to charge more since they know more about the product they are selling. The exception to this rule is conventions: often times, one can buy comics and manga with 20-30% off the cover price depending on the dealer, more so if the title is uncommon.
