5 Main Characters from the book:
1. Captain America: Basically the main character of the book. He was leader of the Avengers, a war hero, and a beloved hero to the world. He got shot and killed previously in the Marvel Civil War, between him and Iron Man. He is a crucial part to this story because he is the reason everybody is sad. Because he died and they lost a great patriot, hero, leader, and friend.
2. Wolverine: Has known Captain America since before he got frozen in ice in the 40's. A hothead, he's had his troubles with Cap and the rest of the heroes in the Marvel Universe, but ultimately looked to Cap as a great friend. Wolverine is coping with Denial in this book, believing Captain America really isn't dead, and having to see for himself.
3. Hawkeye: A former member of the Avengers (which Captain America led) and presumed dead, the archer Hawkeye returns when he finds out his old friend and leader is dead. He is coping with Bargaining, because Tony Stark (Iron Man)is thinking of letting Hawkeye dawn the Captain America outfit, becoming the new Captain America. At first, Hawkeye agrees, but then refuses because he doesn't have what Captain America has as far as spirit.
4. Spider-Man: Ever since Peter Parker was bitten by the radioactive spider, people he's loved have been dying all around him. Uncle Ben was killed by a mugger, Gwen Stacey, Harry Osborn, and now Captain America. Spider-Man looked up to Captain America as a hero since before he was Spider-Man. He is coping with the depression of his loss.
5. Iron Man: Iron Man and Captain America have a long past as friends and a long past as enemies. Iron Man was one of the founding members of the Avengers, which Captain America soon came to lead. The two have been the best of friends all through their life, until the Marvel Civil War, when they were pitted against eachother. This happened right before Captain America's death, which Iron Man feels completely guilty for. At the end, Iron Man is coping with acceptance, and pays his respects at Captain America's funeral.
