Iron Man, Spider-Woman, more envisioned as Captain America for 80th Anniversary variant covers
Marvel Comics is publishing eight Captain America 80th Anniversary variant covers in July 2021 - one for each decade the Star-Spangled Avengers has been around.
From the two covers shown so far, each of these will reinterpret the star of the variant cover's issue as Captain America - with John Cassaday's Iron Man #10 showing a Captain America-themed Iron Man, and Steve McNiven's Spider-Woman #13 showing a Captain America-themed Spider-Woman.
Some surprising comic book characters have taken up the mantle of Cap in the past, which we go into with the 10 greatest heroes to wield Captain America's shield.
Of course, these Captain America 80th Anniversary variant covers are one of several things planned by Marvel for this milestone anniversary. There is also the finale of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Captain America run and the debut of the United States of Captain America limited series.
Here are the eight Captain America 80th Anniversary variant covers planned, along with who is drawing them, when they're coming out, and a link to purchase them.
