Another thing I love to do as a huge fan of superheroes is create merchandise to show off my favorite characters.
My aunt owns a Cricut machine, so the options to create whatever you want is endless.
I got my creative juices flowing and decided to create some merchandise from “Wandavision,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and “Daredevil.”
My cousin and I have a very similar relationship to the character of Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and Steve Rodgers/Captain America.
I thought something fun to showcase our relationship and friendship would be to make Captain America and Winter Soldier t-shirts.
Bucky and Cap shirts by Creations N’at by Diana
I tie-dyed two shirts inspired by Cap and Bucky and then made a logo to put on the shirt of them with their iconic line “I’m with you till the end of the line.”
I’m also a Starbucks lover so I bought some of the reusable cups from the stores and put my own designs on them.
Vision cup by Creations N’at by Diana
The first cup I made was inspired by “Wandavision.” One of my favorite characters is Vision and I absolutely feel in love with the quote he told Wanda in Episode 8- “What is Grief, if not Love Persevering?” The front of the cup matches the icon Vision drew on a map when Vision and Wanda were looking for their forever home to start a family.
Daredevil cup created by Creations N’at by Diana
The other cup I created was based off of one of my newest favorite superheroes-Daredevil. I started watching the show on Netflix and absolutely fell in love with the characters of Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson. Foggy and Matt have been best friends since college and have always talked about starting a law firm together. Foggy didn’t know the Spanish word for lawyer (“Abagado”) and accidentally called them “avocados.” The joke became a running gag between the two best friends and now they are two of the best “Avaocados at Law” in Hell’s Kitchen.

I’m the type of person who loves to showcase whatever types of fandoms I’m in.
A couple years ago, a girl named Leslie Kay came up with idea of “Disney bounding” for fans of Disney.
“Disney bounding” is when someone creates inspired outfits by certain characters based off of color schemes or style of the characters.
Most of these outfits can easily be made from items in your closet.
I thought a fun task would be to see what superheroes I could come up with from items in my closet.
Outfit inspired by Spider-Man
Spider-Man:Everyone’s favorite web-slinger follows along the lines of a red and blue color scheme. I channelled my inner Peter Parker and decided to follow my outfit and the same fashion as his suit. I wore a blue flannel with a red cami as an accent for the top. On the bottom, I wore navy blue pants that match his suit with red converse that matches his shoes. I added my glasses as a little extra to match the nerdy side of Spider-Man.
Outfit inspired by Nightwing
Nightwing: Inspired by dink Grayson, Nightwing’s outfit has a very simple blue and black color scheme. I personally own quite a bit of blue so finding the right shade of blue was the real challenge. I decided to wear black leggings, converse and cardigan to match the black of his suit. I added a blue cami and scrunchie as accents to match the blue bird on his chest.
Outfit inspired by Winter Soldier
Winter Soldier: Making a comeback from serving in World War 2, Bucky Barnes finally got to experience what it’s like to be in modern society. Winter Soldier was such a fun outfit to create. I wore a grey sweater to match his signature arm along with black leggings and combat boots to show the historical background in the outfit. Special shoutout to two of my closest friends for the addition of the leather jacket. For the final touch, I wore a red scrunchie to accent the red star on his arm.
Outfit inspired by Batman
Batman: Straight from Gotham City, the next superhero I was inspired to find an outfit was based off of Batman. Similar to Nightwing, Batman also follows a very basic color scheme. This was the easiest outfit to make because I wore black leggings, converse and cardigan to match the black of his suit. I added a yellow t-shirt to match the symbol of his bat in the center of his suit.
Outfit inspired by Daredevil
Daredevil: Based off of one of my personal favorite superheroes, I did an outfit inspired by the “Man with no fear” or otherwise known as “The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.” The character of Daredevil has a strong red color scheme with some accents of black, so that was the main focus of the outfit. I wore a red and black flannel and red leggings to embody the suit. The black converse matched the same color as his shoes. The black cami underneath serves as more toward the accents of his suit. To top off the outfit, I added a red scrunchie and red sunglasses to represent his cowl.
Outfit inspired by Kid Flash
Kid Flash: To match “The Fastest Man Alive,” Wally West aka Kid Flash was one of the easiest outfits to create from my closet. His suit follows a simple yellow top and red bottom. I matched the same outfit as he did. I also decided to make this look a little more sporty than my other ones because Kid Flash is a runner. I personally don’t own any yellow shoes so I added the white converse as a neutral tone to bring the outfit together.
Outfit inspired by Wanda Maximoff
Wanda Maximoff: The outfit I inspired my look on is from the Scarlett Witch herself in her first MCU movie- “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” This look can follow along the lines of “disney bounding” but could also be used for cosplay. To bring Wanda to life, I simply used a black dress similarly to the one she is wearing in the movie. To represent the red jacket, I added a red cardigan to the dress. Finally, I brought the piece together by wearing some knee high boots very similar to the knee highs she also wears in the movie.

As “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” finally made it’s debut on Disney+, the show took the internet by storm.
We finally got to see where both Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes has left off after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.”
Sam Wilson aka The Falcon is working alongside the US government and also helping out his sister and nephews.
Bucky is seeing a therapist in order to find a sense of peace and make amends with all those that he has put in the wrong.
The episode follows each character by themselves to give the audience a sense of how exactly each character is doing. Both are learning how to navigate life post “blip” and how to move on from the loss of their friend.
Towards the end of the episode, the news revealed that the country is in need of someone to look up too and see as a symbol just as Steve Rodgers once did.
The hashtag #NotMyCap starting trending on Twitter as the fans spoke out their feelings of the reveal.
Other fans started tweeting in defense saying that the fans were overreacting. They said that it was only a 30 second clip that we saw and we haven’t even truly met the character yet.
With the episode only coming out a few days ago, it seems like the internet will be occupied with a new meme until we can finally meet this new Captain America.
*Spoilers Ahead* A new show is getting ready to soar its way into the homes of millions. This Friday, March 19th, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will be making its debut on Disney+. “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” takes place […]

This Friday, March 19th, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” will be making its debut on Disney+.
“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” takes place roughly six months after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” It starts following both Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as they navigate their life after being “presumed dead” from Thanos’s snap and taking over Steve Rodger’s iconic shield.
With just a few days leading up to the premiere, here’s some of the movies and films to watch to get caught up!
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”: This is the movie in the MCU where Sam Wilson is first introduced and how he played a huge part in Steve Rodger’s life. This movie also introduces the character of “The Winter Soldier” who ends up being attached to Steve Rodger’s past. While we did meet Bucky back in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” this movie acts as an origin story for both The Falcon and The Winter Soldier that we see now.

“Captain America: Civil War”: This movies goes more in depth and develops both Wilson and Barnes’s character even more. By this movie, we learn that Bucky is now being charged with the bombing of a United Nations building in Vienna. But we soon learn that Barnes is being framed. This puts a wedge into the Avengers signing a treaty that they would now work under the United Nations rather than by themselves. Toward the end of the movie, Bucky decides to refreeze his body so that once he wakes up, he’ll be able to control his actions.
“Avengers: Infinity War”: In the epic adventure, all the Avengers team up together to try and prevent Thanos from collecting all the Infinity Stones. When we first see Bucky, he is in Wakanda along with Black Panther. Captain America, Falcon and many others meet up with them in efforts to protect the stones and stop Thanos from wiping out half of the Earth’s population. In the end, both Falcon and Winter Soldier fall victim to the snap.
“Avengers: Endgame”: The grand finale to the Infinity Saga in the MCU. “Endgame” shows the aftermath of those that were remaining after Thanos and how they were coping with everyone they lost. The last remaining Avengers decided that they will do “whatever it takes” in order to reverse what Thanos did and bring all their friends back to life. In an epic battle, every single member who has been seen in an MCU movie unites on screen to take down Thanos once and for all.

“Marvel Studios: Legends”: Disney+ puts out little 7-8 minute clips of each of the characters and gives each of them a small highlight reel. Each episode showcases one of the Avengers and their parts in the MCU. Recently, Disney+ put out episodes for The Falcon, The Winter Soldier, Zemo (who can be seen in “Captain America: Civil War”) and Sharon (who can be seen in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier’). It’s a simplified version of watching all the movies. It’s also a faster way to get caught up in time for Friday’s premiere.
