I... absolutely did not expect this. And what's more, I absolutely love it.
My exposure to comics in general is quite limited, but you'd have to grow up under at least five rocks not to recognize Captain America when you see him. Or, possibly, in Wizarding Britain.
(This raises fascinating questions in my mind about American wizarding attitudes toward superheroes. In a real life/Heroes crossover fanfiction I once read, the world-hopping Sylar remarked that our world had an almost ridiculous proliferation of media and literature; everyone read different books, watched numerous TV shows, and was constantly inundated with advertising. The "real" character replied that the Heroes universe was more or less created by the imaginations of people who hadn't bothered to put in a vast body of literature, a wide variety of media, or any more advertising than they were being paid for. This idea has stuck in my head like a rock in my shoe.)
