I noticed recently that Captain America had wings on his costume sometimes. Usually more likely on the WWII era costumes but sometimes on more modern ones. And I was like, wait, what? Because I have no idea why he would. At all.
So I did some digging and came up with an article called The Evolution of Captain America’s Uniform about all the different variations he’s worn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But still since they echo what was in the comics in various eras, it’s a good illustration of what I’m talking about.
It’s hard to see but some of them have embossed stylized wings on the side. Those don’t bother me. The one I can’t figure out is the first one.
Why the little dangly wings on the side of his head? Seriously why?
