Marvel Comics has commissioned a 13-foot bronze statue of Captain America. It'll be unveiled at Comic-Con week after next and then it will be trucked east to its permanent home in Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Why there? Because according to the current mythos of the character, Steve "Captain America" Rogers was born in Brooklyn.
But he wasn't always born in Brooklyn. In the original comics by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the hero was born in the lower east side of New York, just like Kirby. As this article notes, some folks are upset about the change. I'm not sure I have an opinion on this.
