I've always hated those stupid little wings on his head and those 5-pointed stars aren't helping. He just gets away with it, because he's suppesedly a cultural icon of lofty ideals or something like that. It seems to me that comic book artists can feed the public just about any ugly crap and make it popular, if they just wrapped it in US flag or make the comic a nod towards some ethnic group. Black Goliath is blacksploitation, Captain America is patriotsploitation, both are licences to drop quality checks. Well, Captain America is also awful looking.
