![]() : As a young gay man, Aaron has dealt with homophobia throughout his life, which you address in this story. We aren’t always the same person we were when we left. Some of us have to leave our homes behind to find a better, safer life, so what does it mean to have to be confronted with that past head-on? I think that’s something a lot of people, especially queer people, can relate to. Josh Trujillo: In working with Christopher Cantwell and Jan Bazaldua to create Aaron, we saw so much potential for his origin beyond what we were able to tell in his first story. Why did you decide to frame the story in this way? ![]() : You’ve written this 6-part mystery revolving around Aaron Fischer and his history, taking him back to the hometown that deemed him an outcast. Aaron is still a kid in some ways, but he’s figuring it out. He’s hotheaded, he is impetuous, he has some regrettable tattoos, and he makes a lot of mistakes. At the same time, he’s not tied to the same, uh, patriotism that maybe Steve or Sam can be at times.īut like them, Aaron is guided by his own morality and his desire to do good. Josh Trujillo: I think Aaron sees the symbolism of being a Captain America and understands the responsibility in that. How would you say Aaron defines his role as Captain America? How do you think this differs from other Captain Americas, such as Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers? : Aaron is part of this network of Captain Americas. Even though he doesn’t have all the answers, he’s willing to risk it all for the greater good. I love Aaron’s spirit, his fearlessness, and his willingness to tackle problems so much larger than himself. In his first appearances, he doesn’t have any powers he just has his heart and his fists. What I like about Aaron is that he’s a self-made hero in the truest sense. ![]() He’s a young adult with a rough background, who is working to overcome that and make a better life for the people around him. Josh Trujillo: Aaron Fischer is a gay runaway from Missouri who took on the mantle of Captain America to protect his community. ![]() : For the new readers out there, tell us a bit about Aaron Fischer and what you find so appealing about his character. ![]()
