I believe about all of these comic book characters that there are multiple versions of their origin stories out there, and so you can get people writing Steve in any of the five boroughs. Some of the characters used to have supernatural powers and then, didn't. I think it's probably pretty hard to keep up with the canon if you haven't been a fan for ages. I rented the DVD of XMen First Class and watched the extras, and the people who made that one admitted that they could not create a film that was consistent with all available canon.

I googled around and found the Abraham Lincoln Brigade has an online database and through it, that Bill Bailey's autobiography is online. These guys weren't afraid of anything. They make fictional characters look meek.
