It hasn't happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, but sometime in the not too distant future another character will pick up the vibranium shield and mantle of Captain America, taking over for Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). In the comics, the most iconic example of this was after the events of Civil War when Bucky Barnes - who at the time had recently returned from the "dead" - became Captain America.
This pivotal moment happened in August 2009's Captain America #600 and represents one of the significant events in Marvel Comics history. And with that moment came the amazing cover art by the legendary Alex Ross.
