Description
My genderbent versions of Marvel Movie-verse (Earth-199999) Captain America. Lovingly renamed Stephanie Rogers.

Stephanie is the most changed of them all, which, I suspect, I don't really need to point out. I spent a lot of time thinking on how to change the costuming for a female hero before coming up with what we see now. The fact of the matter is, Captain America was not just created as a super soldier. He was created as the best PR ploy ever. He was created to win the hearts of the US over and to strike fear into the Nazi hearts. He was blond hair and blue eyed and good looking. Partially because it screwed with the way the Nazis viewed the perfect Aryan nation, but probably more so because it fit into a very distinct stereotype for what a hero was. In the 40s, the story of good and evil was very white and black. Literally. Tall, dark, and handsome meant mysterious, not wholesome. The quintessential sign of the good guy was literally the golden boy (or girl) image: either pale or "healthily" tanned skin, blonde hair, and light eyes. While I made an internal argument with myself as to how a female Captain America would never exist in our timeline because of the stigma of the day, I went ahead with what I think would appeal as both a marketing ploy and as function wear (with the added leeway of "The Avengers" movie stating that they'd fixed up the outfit to make it a bit more modern). I figured I'd go with something lightly pinupy, victory curls, no helmet. I picked pants because, after all, she is a soldier, and it's pain to have to drag yourself through the forest in high heels and a short tight skirt.

Others in the Genderbent series:

Bro Widow
Nick Fury
Hulk: Bruce Banner
Loki
Thor
Iron (WO)man
Hawkeye
Captain America
Compilation Height Chart

As is almost always the case, this was created in Adobe Illustrator CS4. No rasters applied anywhere, all patterns were hand drawn in and the picture is entirely scalable (as prescribed by the fact that it's entirely vector). Just my handy dandy brush, pen, and opacity tools used.
