As originally announced on “The Colbert Report” on July 16th, 2014, Sam Wilson aka “The Falcon” is taking over the role of Captain America, after Steve Rogers was drained of the Super Soldier Serum that gave him his strength, speed and endurance, leaving him unable to wield the shield.
And sadly for Stephen Colbert, despite having Captain American’s shield hanging on the wall of “The Colbert Report” set, he was not chosen to become the new Captain America. Instead, Marvel commissioned one of their artists, Kris Anka, to design an image of Stephen as Falcon to be used as a variant cover for the “All New Captain” to be released on November 12th, 2014.
