Erskine's name

edit

Assuming the True Believers reprint is accurate to the original, Tales of Suspense #63 gives his name as Dr. Erskine a decade before Roy Thomas retconned Reinstein into an alias. I don't know when he got his first name though, or if this is the first time Erskine is used. Reach Out to the Truth 04:53, 17 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

This page doesn't specify the issue, but includes a panel of Cap calling the character Reinstein from 1941. Does that help? Argento Surfer (talk) 12:46, 17 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
That I did know. Captain America Comics #1 is included in the reprint released yesterday. That's when he was first called Reinstein. Tales of Suspense #63 gives him the new name Erskine, then apparently Roy Thomas later makes Reinstein an alias instead of a real name. I've added this information to the article and removed questionable claims. Reach Out to the Truth 19:25, 17 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
