Hands up who was surprised with how good 2011's
Captain America: The First Avenger was. Being a
Marvel Comics (and
Chris Evans) fan I was worried that the star-spangled
Avenger wouldn't live up to the expectations of his big screen
Marvel predecessors like
Iron Man and
Thor, or that his onscreen debut may be a corny, patriotic mess. Fortunately my fears were proven wrong and I loved every minute of
Cap's World War II origin and action romp.
Original motorcycles, costumes and props from
Captain America and The Avengers movies
The Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibition at
The Reagan Library had these original motorcycles used in the movie on July 17, 2012, plus
Captain America's shield and modern day uniform from
The Avengers on display.

I don't believe this updated costume designed by
Alexandra Byrne was actually worn by
Chris Evans in 2012's
The Avengers, but the whole thing is instead a prop from
Cap's ready room locker set from the
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

It's still pretty cool though and provides great detail of the patriotic uniform, especially if you plan to make it yourself for
Halloween or
Cosplay purposes. Obviously it goes without saying, where
Captain America entertained,
The Avengers simply blew me away and totally exceeded all my expectations.

'Steve Rogers' 1942 WLA motorcycle, driven by
Chris Evans in the titular hero's solo movie, is a modified
Harley-Davidson 'Cross Bones' motorcycle.

The other motorcycle on display is a modified
Honda CRF250X Motocross bike complete with
Hydra emblem, used by the
'Red Skull's' personal
Hydra army against
Cap and the
Allied Forces.
