Ever wanted to be a hero, just for a night? Halloween might be your chance. We all get to be someone else, and one great choice for this year is Captain America. A Captain America Halloween costume is a great way for you or your little trick or treater to feel like a hero.

Captain America's first comics appearance was in 1941 in his own comic series, produced by one of Marvel's predecessors, Timely comics. Captain America was an intentionally patriotic character, and throughout World War II was one of the most popular heroes around.

After the war, the overall popularity of superheroes waned, and with it, Captain America's readership. He was out of publication by the early 1950s, though he was brought back later by Marvel during the Silver Age of comics. Revived by the Avengers from suspended animation, Captain America went on to lead the team on many occasions and star in a series of his own.

You'll probably instantly recognize the Captain's signature red, white and blue costume, complete with patriotic shield and red boots. Captain America costumes for Halloween make you easy to identify - you're not likely to be asked who you're dressed as.

Licensed version of these costumes are available for almost anyone, with infant sizes running as little as sixteen dollars. As sizes go up and costumes get more complicated, prices rise, too. Of course, you get more with a bigger, better costume. For instance, a Deluxe Captain America Halloween costume has padding to simulate muscles as part of the body suit.

These costumes also come with a face mask/hood combination. Other accessories might not be included, however. That means it's a good idea to make sure you purchase the right gloves, shield, and boot covers to look right as the Captain.

If you're not sure where to shop, it might be time to look online for the best selection. That'll let you see more costumes than you could find in any local store. If you want the perfect Captain America costume this Halloween, check online, and skip the hassle of traveling store to store.

You can get great deals from online sellers, too. They're able to charge less since they pay less to be in business than most normal stores. Take extra costs like shipping and handling into account and you'll get a wonderful deal. Just be sure to order your Captain America Halloween costume by Halloween. Not much is more disappointing than being unable to have your costume in time for the party. Plan ahead and feel like a hero this year.
