How to Make 3d Origami Superheroes

If you're a fan of super heroes then you'll definitely want to check out some of the origami in this post and yes, I realize that a lot of these are DC characters but "marvel-ous" was the best pun I could come up with.

First up is this great little origami Captain America.
