Sam Wilson

[Movie-Brat]

So... Sam Wilson it appears is going to be permanently Captain America from now on. So, any possible chance that now can his profile be changed to reflect this?

And this seems permanent given corporate synergy and Sam Cap is now popular across media outside of comics.

Sorry, but much like with Carol Danvers and others, you gotta look at it from a historical context. Sam has been (and apparently will be again) Captain America for a pretty brief time in his history.

But you do know Marvel is always about synergy. Why do you think some characters in the recent Eternals book got gender swapped?

Status quo is king. Only a matter of time till things go back to their original state. See Ben Reily Spider-Man, Otto Octavius Spider-Man, Brand New Day retconning his marriage, Jean Grey being dead, Janet Van Dyne being dead, Cap's previous giving up the mantles, etc.

Actually Steve Rogers is still Captain America. 

As a matter of fact, part of the premise is he and Sam Wilson agreed two Captain Americas are better than one. I mean hey, if it works for Spider-Man.

Sounds like even less of a reason to change Sam's profile name. If he and Steve are sharing the role, that just seems to make it even more likely that Sam won't hold on to the mantle for long. 

I see that a pic of Sam as Cap has been added to his profile. That's probably the best course of action to show that he's one of the current holders of the Captain America mantle.

Again though, the synergy seems to ensure he'll be taking it permanently.
