GEEK CONTEST: RE-NAME CAPTAIN AMERICA

I received this cryptic image and note in an email earlier this week.

Dear Sir:

A few years ago, I came up with what I thought was a very unique superhero concept. My concept involved a hero named "Captain America" who dressed in red, white and blue and whose duty it was to fight the Nazis. A real tough guy! And a real patriot too! Also, this Captain America character had a sidekick named Brad, who helped him in his battles. [See the picture above for a classic depiction of this Dynamic Duo in full-on fighting action!]

Well, imagine my surprise when I discovered that somebody else had already come up with a concept for a similar hero, whose name -- coincidentally -- is also Captain America! And that this other Captain America fights Nazis just like mine does! And that he has a sidekick named Bucky (which sounds a little bit like Brad, kind of)!

Wow. I've heard the term "great minds think alike"...but I don't think anybody's seen it in action quite like this before!

So I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I need a brand new name for my "Captain America and Brad" characters...and pronto! Before I, er...get in trouble or something.

Sincerely,
Brian Sendelbach
