NEW YORK — You can’t keep a good American down. 

 

Marvel Entertainment announced Thursday that its slain hero Captain America will rise again with a new outfit and a new secret identity, after the character was killed off in March by a sniper's bullet in a storyline on the War on Terror. The company unveiled the patriotic superhero's new look Thursday with artwork by Alex Ross and Steve Epting for the new issue, No. 34, to hit comic book shops in January 2008.

Captain America will return with his trademark shield, but he also will have some new firepower.

While the famed hero is returning to fight the good fight, Marvel made clear that the original character, Steve Rogers, remains dead.

 A yet-to-be-revealed character will don this new Captain America suit. In March, Dan Buckley, the president and publisher of Marvel Entertainment’s publishing group, told FOXNews.com that Captain America’s return was a possibility.
