I literally just saw someone say Stan Lee created Cap and Bucky UUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM NO THAT WAS JACK KIRBY AND JOE SIMON, BUT OOOOK!!!???
Also interesting fact: After the release of Captain America #1 by Timely Comics (the predecessor to Marvel) Simon and Kirby were sent hate mail and death threats because they dared to write a character who positioned himself against Nazism and punched Hitler. At one point, people even waited outside HQ to harass them, they had to be under police protection for a while. Simon has said that from his very inception Steve Rogers/Captain America was a means of expressing their political voices because they were disgusted watching the rise of Nazi Germany while the United States did nothing.
