Madcap may refer to:
Madcap is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared as a foe of Captain America in Captain America #307 (July 1985).
Madcap first appeared in Captain America #307 (July 1985), and was created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary.
Most of the villains Gruenwald introduced in Captain America were created to symbolize aspects of contemporary American culture and the world political situation. Gruenwald stated, "Madcap represents purposelessness, the disaffected youth of today who thinks 'What's the reason for doing anything?' The ultimate dropout generation."
Madcap (true name unknown) was originally a deeply religious young man. On the way to a picnic with his family and church community, their bus collides with a tanker truck full of Compound X07 (an experimental nerve agent developed by A.I.M.). Everyone aboard the bus, including his parents and sister Katy, are killed, leaving him as the only survivor, his body mixing with the Compound. When being told of the deaths of all his friends and family, his mind shatters, his belief in a rational universe swept away.
Madcap is an American pop punk band from Southern California, which loosely formed in 1994. After several line-up changes a solid group was formed in 1999, with original members Lee LeBaigue, Johnny Mastantuono, Alfredo Gonzalez and new member Jake Margolis. In 2002, Ace (J. Johnson) replaced singer/guitarist Alfredo Gonzalez. Madcap currently has three albums, and one split/EP: Stand Your Ground (Side One Dummy Records), Mighty Mighty Bosstones/Madcap split; released on Chunksaah Records (2002); East To West, released on Side One Dummy Records was produced by Ted Hutt (2002); and Under Suspicion (2004) released on their current record label Victory Records, also produced by Ted Hutt. Madcap went on hiatus in fall 2004.
Singer Alfredo Gonzalez has formed a new punk band called The Plexikill. Members in the Plexikill are Alfredo Gonzalez, Steve Vallera, and Rosie Gonce. Lead singer Johnny Mastantuono has a new band called Johnny Madcap & The Distractions.
In a bar in downtown Dale an old man tells a tale.
He screams of a day of poets where
the streets are ours not theirs.
He screams piss on everything.
na na na na na na na hey!
My leather jacket is zipped up and ready.
The boots on my feet, they keep me steady.
I want to join the gang and sing.
Na na na na na na na hey!
Bright lights, big city
Bright lights, big city
we want the streets [x3]
Bright lights, big city!
Old men say, they say son
It's going to be hard to get older.
Give it time and you will see see.
Well now that time has come and gone
its gone, yeah!
I may be young but I know nothing
nothing really matters
except what's in your heart.
No good, no bad, no wrong, no right.
Na na na na na na na hey!
Bright lights, big city!
Bright lights, big city!
(we want the streets [x3])
Bright lights, big city!
Meet us on the street
Underneath bright lights, in the city.
There we'll find our hearts,
our souls,
our dreams
Meet us on the street
underneath bright lights, big city.
Nothing hold us back
when we believe our heart's
the size of buildings.
Yeah!
Bright lights, big city
Bright lights, big city
(we want the streets [x3])
Bright lights big city
Bright lights big city
(we want the streets [x3])
