    I don't think your Captain America example applies here.  The shield has been carried by many different individuals.  Steve Rogers has willingly given up this identity to worthy people and has stated on many occasions that anyone can be Captain America and it is a defining trait.  Also, the popularity of the character has not dwindled significantly when portrayed by someone such as Falcon and Bucky.  IMO they have enhanced it actually.
     
    Peter Parker IS Spider-Man.  He is not just an archetype but a character heavily defined by his personal experiences and unique origin.  For example, I've enjoyed stories of Miles Morales but I don't think of him as Spider-Man.  However, it does sadden me that such a great latin character needs to trade on another hero's name in order to be popular.

    re:  Daredevil - The fight scene in the park with Electra and the teeter-totter completely ruined the movie for me.  I can accept the cheesy bits here and there that they threw into what was supposed to be a mostly serious movie...but that was over-the-top campy silliness that pulled me right out of the movie and ruined the Electra character IMO.

    I first learned of them in Edith Hamilton's Mythology. 
     
    But, then, I was a weird ten year old.
     
    Of course, the next "source" for Norse Myths that I read was Deities & Demigods. 
     
    Which included bare-midriff snow-bunny Freya...

    "We" started naming winter storms when the Weather Channel decided they needed to sensationalize weather. When I am crowned emperor, those jackasses will be put up against the wall and shot. Right next to the guys who started capitalizing "Realtor" as though it were a royal title.

    Eh, an epic bad idea is a tv show based in Gotham City with no Batman but all his villains.  I gave that 5 hours of my life so I'll still give this a shot.  It seems fine to me.

    I've given up social media for the New Year and am trying to make friends outside Facebook while applying the same principles.  Every day, I walk down the street and tell passersby what I've eaten, how I feel, what I did the night before, and what I will do tomorrow.  Then I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and me in my bathing suit.  I also listen to their conversations and tell them I love them.  And it works.  I already have three people following me - two police officers and a psychiatrist.
