Who is captain America? Because the guy in the picture is captain ~~Porto~~ Puerto Rico ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท

Also, other options to the question: Captain Iran, Captain Afghanistan, Captain China, Captain Putin, captain Kim Yong Un

It brings back special memories.

A Puerto Rican girl in HS wrote Portorico as one word on her backpack in whiteout. I've made it a point to make sure I knew how to spell Puerto rico since them and not look like a fucking moron. Nothing against you, just a special memory of an idiot.

His suit looks more like the Puerto Rican flag than the Liberian flag tbh

Although he does wear the A from asshole on his head hinting he might be American

Haven't heard that one before. Do you mean Diaper Donny? I know he's amazing at destroying America, but I wouldn't call him a captain tbh. I prefer to call him by his official title, "pedo sex offender and crook Diaper Donny".

Edit: oh you didn't call him a captain but super villain. I stand corrected.
