NEW YORK - Captain America has undertaken his last mission — at least for now.
The venerable superhero is killed in the issue of his namesake comic that hit stands Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported. On the new edition's pages, a sniper shoots down the shield-wielding hero as he leaves a courthouse.
It ends a long run for the stars-and-stripes-wearing character, created in 1941. Over the years, some 210 million copies of Captain America comic books, published by New York-based Marvel Entertainment Inc., have been sold in 75 countries.
But resurrections are not unknown in the world of comics, and Marvel Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada said a Captain America comeback wasn't impossible.
Still, the character's death came as a blow to co-creator Joe Simon.
"We really need him now," said Simon, 93, who worked with artist Jack Kirby to devise Captain America as a foe for Adolf Hitler.
The superhero was spawned when a scrawny arts student named Steve Rogers, ineligible for the army because of his poor health but eager to serve his country, agreed to a "Super Soldier Serum" injection. The substance made him a paragon of physical perfection, armed only with his shield, his strength, his smarts and a command of martial arts.
In the comic-book universe, death is not always final. But even if Captain America turns out to have met his end in print, he may not disappear entirely: Marvel is developing a Captain America movie

Captain America Died because he is a member of an HMO and had him to wait in the Emergency Room until the hospital could get approval for Surgery.

the comic in which he gets killed is out today, so I haven't read the whole story yet, there is an article in the NY daily news that says he was killed by a sniper's bullet as he leaves a courthouse, he gets shot in the shoulder and again in his chest and apparently dies from his wounds on the courthouse steps, I believe that this is the final chapter in the civil war story line

Yes, but he was more than that. Captain America took on a life of sorts when he became an icon, one that inspired us to be the kind of American’s we could be. He made it cool to be patriotic.
Stan Lee shot him. Well, he used Winter Soldier (the now-grown Bucky Barnes, Cap’s partner who was long thought dead) to do it.
I wonder which Middle Eastern nation paid Stan Lee to do this…?
