As Captain America celebrates his 80th anniversary, Marvel Comics has revealed a collection of special variant covers, which see a number of other superheroes don costumes inspired by the Star-Spangled Man With a Plan.
“This year, Marvel Comics is honoring the 80th anniversary of Captain America with a new collection of extraordinary variant covers!” the House of Ideas said in an official release. “These star-spangled homages have been designed and crafted by some of the industry’s greatest artistic talents: John Cassaday, Steve McNiven, Iban Coello, Pepe Larraz, Leinil Francis Yu, Mark Brooks, Nick Bradshaw and Terry and Rachel Dodson.”
In total, Marvel has revealed eight Captain America 80th anniversary variants. The covers — which are slated to hit comic shops starting Wednesday, July 14 — star the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Woman, Miles Morales/Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Black Cat, Black Widow, the Fantastic Four and Valkyrie, all sporting Cap-esque variants of their own iconic outfits.

Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the character of Steve Rogers/Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1, which first hit newsstands in December 1940 (with a cover date of March 1941) — one whole year into World War II. Featuring a cover that shows the eponymous superhero socking Adolf Hitler on the jaw, Captain America Comics #1 went on to sell over 1 million copies.
Cap has been a staple of Marvel ever since, starring in countless comic books, not to mention achieving massive box office success as a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which he was played by Chris Evans. While Evans has apparently departed the franchise for the time being, Steve’s legacy was further explored in the Disney+ original series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which ultimately sees Sam Wilson/the Falcon (Anthony Mackie) assume the mantle of Captain America.
