He might be dead, replaced, and forgotten, but we will always remember the original Captain America.  Steve Rogers punched his way into our Nazi-hating, flag-loving hearts with his ironically Arian blond hair and blue eyes and rugged good looks.  Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created the super-hero icon in 1940, a year before Pearl Harbor, to amazing popularity (and some controversy).  Captain America proved to be an inspiring figure during World War II both in the comics and out, outselling major magazines like Time during the 1940s until his comic was canceled in 1954.  Marvel Comics revived the character in 1964, proving Captain America had an appeal that could cross generations.  Captain America has been a staple of the Marvel Universe, acting as the de facto leader and moral compass.  Marvel has Captain America assassinated in 2007 with his former sidekick Bucky taking over the mantle.  I’m sure this will last.
