I did kindergarten through high school, and then I did a history degree in university, and I also did a bunch of art courses, and an illustration course, and some writing courses, but just on the side.
When and with whom was your first kiss?
Um, I think Winnie and I probably kissed when we were little and didn't know what kissing was, and it was just, like, a friendly thing. But my first actual kiss was when I was sixteen, and it was with my first girlfriend, who was called Alix. She was very cool, but we only dated for a few months. I think she's married to a girl now, but she always dated boys and girls, so I don't it had anything to do with me. That's not how it works.
What is your greatest fear?
It's kind of stupid, but when I was really little and my parents were trying to explain about Dad to me, about how he was asleep for a long time and that's why he's old and not old, I was kind of afraid he was doing to do it again. I didn't really understand that the sleeping was because he was frozen and the serum was keeping him safe. I just thought it was a thing that he did, like it was just part of a disability or something, like how I can't hear out of one ear, maybe Dad just falls asleep as his thing. I remember waking him up a lot when he fell asleep on the couch, just to make sure I could, and then he figured out what was going on and explained to me in better terms and said he was sorry he didn't explain it properly the first time. But I do sometimes still have nightmares where either he's asleep and I can't wake him up, or I'm asleep and I can't wake up. So, I guess that's probably my greatest fear, even if I totally know it's a silly one and I don't spend a lot of my waking hours worrying about it.
What do you have in your pockets?
My phone, a cord to charge my hearing aid when the power's low, some gum, a pencil, and a couple of dog biscuits left over from luring over this puppy I found in an alley near my apartment so I could take it to a shelter.
While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
My Dad's a superhero. I was spoiled for role models. I have a whole great big group of them. But my dad was probably my biggest one. He's awesome, and an actual hero, but also really nice and if I can be a little like him, I'd be really happy.
Do you have any biases or prejudices?
I try not to, because Dad and Mom really drilled into me that everyone is equal and the same and shouldn't be treated badly just because they're a certain way or whatever. And I think I pretty much do that. Except if you're trying to attack the world, then I feel justified in judging you about that. Also if you eat your pizza with a knife and fork. Those are my two exceptions.
What is your most treasured possession?
Uncle Tony gave me one of the Captain America prototype shields his dad made. My dad obviously never used it in battle, but I played with it when I was little, and it's hung on a wall in my apartment, and it looks really close to Dad's, but it's sort of mine, too, I guess? Kind of stupid, probably. I've used it a few times to defend myself, and it works. Better than a trashcan lid, anyway. I've used one of those a few times, too. I once made Uncle Bucky laugh his ass off when I told him that...
