Captain America was brought back to life after he was found frozen in ice in the North Atlantic. After being unfrozen, he again fought for the American ideal, just like he did back in the 1940's. He continued to do this up until the end of the Civil War of the Marvel universe. During this Civil War, superheros were split among each other on the issue of registering super powered individuals. Even villains were joining their enemies to stand up for their beliefs. Near the end of this war, Captain America surrendered and was eventually arrested. Before his trial could take place, Captain America was fatally shot on the steps of the courthouse.
The reason I am talking about Captain America is for the reason that he was a symbol of the protector for many Jewish children, and possibly some adults, during World War 2. He was seen as the hero against the Nazi regime in Germany and the savior of Jewish people.
Though the original Captain America is dead, or possibly alive again due to rumors that I have heard, there will be a resurgense of Captain America fandom due to a movie that is in the works. I am personally looking forward to this movie.
