eliyesI am pretty sure they based Howard Stark's look in the cap movie on Clark Gable. And why not? He was The King of Hollywood. He was also a pilot during WWII. Hitler was a huge fan and put out a special bounty, promising to richly reward anyone who could capture Gable alive and bring him to the Führer.
Captain America was also a big Gable fan. Which makes his interactions with Howard Stark interesting, because in addition to being personally intimidated by intelligent, charming Stark, the man looks a lot like one of the handsomest American film actors of the time. Painfully aware of his own inexperience, and body image not entirely caught up to new body, no wonder he figured Peggy would prefer Stark!
Oh, Steve.
eta: Now picturing Cap, Wanda, and (with a great show of reluctance) Clint watching Gone With the Wind.
