I want to see this.  Mostly, I admit, because there aren't enough Cap 
crossovers out there, but also....

Captain America has a strange kind of optimism that would contrast 
somewhat weirdly with BGC.  It isn't a Sailor Moon type thing, based in 
naivety and innocence.  The man honestly and at all times is upbeat and 
positive.  No matter how desperate the situation, he has faith in 
himself and those around them.  What's more, he has the ability to 
inspire that faith in others.

	Hmm, that is an interesting contrast for BGC.

On the one hand, it seems like Cap would be totally helpless against 
boomers.  However, in comics he regular goes up against incredibly 
powerful opponents and somehow finds a way to defeat them.

	He's like Batman except he's upbeat like you said earlier.

Nene would probably fawn over him.  We're talking serious hero worship 
here.

	Of course

Priss would talk with him for a while, walk away to do something, and 
about five minutes later it would occur to her that she had totally 
forgotten to give him any bad attitude.

	Heh.

Linna would be a bit envious of him.  I mean, he's such a skilled 
fighter, he could probably kick her butt even if she had her hard suit. 
Of course, she'd also find herself forgetting the fact that she "in it 
for the money".

Sylia would start out wanting the chance to analyze his shield and try 
to duplicate it.  She would probably be extremely puzzled by the fact 
the every time he interacts with them on a mission, Captain America ends 
up in charge- and she lets it happen.  (Come on.  I don't think I've 
ever seen a BGC crossover fic where someone besides Sylia ended up boss- 
and she isn't dead or disabled.)

	Very true.  Hmm, if events crossover with the Marvel world, what 
happened to Adamantium and Vibranium?  Genom would absolutely love to get 
it's hands on those two metals, even if no one has any idea how to combine 
them into Cap's shield.

Of course, the door would be open to bring in the rest of the Marvel 
universe later.....

	If you write it right you can crossover almost anybody.  Still 
let's think of the easy folk who would still be in their prime in 2032:
Nick Fury,
Wolverine,
The Hulk,
Thor and the other gods.
Well that's not all the really long lived folk but it some of them.

Hmmm.  Captain America and the Knight Sabers.  Anybody willing to give 
this a go?
