NEW YORK (CNN) -- He fought and triumphed over Hitler, Tojo, international Communism and a host of supervillains, but he could not dodge a sniper's bullet.

Comic book hero Captain America is dead.

After close to 60 years in print, Marvel Comics has killed off Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, one of its most famous and beloved superheroes amid an already controversial story line, "Civil War," which is pitting the heroes of Marvel's universe against one another.

In the comic series, Rogers was to stand trial for defying a superhero registration law passed after a hero's tragic mistake causes a 9/11-like event.

Steve Rogers eventually surrenders to police. He is later mortally wounded as he climbs the courthouse steps.

Marvel says the comic story line was intentionally written as an allegory to current real-life issues like the Patriot Act, the War on Terror and the September 11 attacks.

"Every child knew about 9/11," says Dan Buckley, president of Marvel Comics. "If [he] could see a TV he knew what 9/11 was. The other similarities [to] things going on are just part of storytelling."

It was a violent and strange end for an American hero.

Captain America first appeared in 1941, just as the United States entered World War II. He was a symbol of American strength and resolve in fighting the Axis powers, and later Communism.

As originally conceived by creators Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, Rogers was a man born before the Great Depression in a very different America. He disappeared after the war and reappeared only recently in the Marvel timeline. For a superhero many thought perfect, it was perhaps a fatal flaw for "Cap," as he became known.

"He hasn't been living in the modern world and the world does move," says Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada.

Quesada said he wanted to readers find their own meaning in Cap's end.

"There is a lot to be read in there. But I'm not one who is going to tell people, this is what you should read into it, because I could look into it and read several different types of messages," he told CNN.

Still, one has to wonder: Is Captain America really dead? Comic book characters have routinely died, only to be resurrected when necessary to storylines.

Joe Quesada agrees -- but said times are different now.

"There was period in comics where characters would just die and then be resurrected. And the death had very little meaning and the resurrection had very little meaning," he said. "All I ask of my writers is if you're going to kill a character off, please let that death have some meaning in the overall scope of things."

Besides, he said, there are other important questions left unanswered.

"What happens with the costume? And what happens to the characters that are friends and enemies of Cap?" Quesada said with a smile. "You're going to have to read the books to find out."

Kathy Bates från Misery kanske fångar Joe Quesada och får honom att återuppliva Cap igen!

The First Law Of Marvel Comics säger att status quo är återställt inom 12 månader.

Det är bara personer utanför branschen som tror att dom verkligen dödat Cap för gott. Som dom trodde med Superman.

The Triumphant Return är redan planerad.

[Kwon]

Det finns också de som tror att det var Punisher som snipade Cap.

Du (Grub) minns säkert att Punisher tog upp Cap's mask i CW.

Måhända tänker Punisher ta över Cap Americas roll, fast på sitt eget sätt. (Skjuta brottslingar etc)

[Baan]

Bra tradeoff isf. Cap America är ju bara en disillusonerad mes, The Punisher (Dolph Lundgren irl) är mer "if he dies he dies" och
police officer "What do you call 200 murders in two years?"
dolph: "A work in progress."

mkt br.a

[Kwon]

Cap tror ju alltid (för det mesta) på det bästa, en sann optimist, medans Punisher är en realist i sina egna ögon.

Men han pfeffrar ju ner rånare såsom väskryckare. Oavsett brott, samma straff heh.

[King Grub]

Nu har jag läst numret. Riktigt bra, faktiskt, för att vara ett "event". Men Brubaker och Eptings nummer har överlag varit kanske den bästa Captain America på många många år.

[Kwon]

Verkar som att det blir Punisher som tar över och axlar Captain Americas mantel
