In the late 1970s, Universal Television optioned the rights to make TV shows based on characters from the Marvel Comics library, and created a number of pilots based on heroes such as the Hulk, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. In retrospect, The Incredible Hulk was by far the most successful of these - it's arguably still the definitive version of the character on screen, outside of last year's Avengers Assemble.
Even though it never led to a series, 1978's two Captain America TV movies came second-closest to success, by the virtue of even getting as far as a second movie. The first, known as Sentinel Of Liberty, establishes a different origin story for Steve Rogers, while the second,...

And I thought I knew everything about superhero movies…
Shout! Factory has released a press announcement that on October 18th, to coincide with Captain America: The First Avenger‘s Blu-ray/DVD release, are releasing a Captain America double-bill DVD of the two rarely seen late ’70s TV movies on the Marvel Comics character.
Captain America
When former Marine Steve Rogers is in an accident, his only hope for recovery is an injection of the Flag superserum — created years ago by his own father — which enhances each of his senses, as well as gives him great strength and fast reflexes. And to help him bring his attackers to justice, a government agency outfits him with a motorcycle and powerful shield, then turns the newly formed Captain America loose on the nation’s enemies.
It stars Reb Brown (Yor, The Hunter From The Future) and Len Birman!
Captain America II: Death Too Soon...
