They look HDR'd to me which is all the rage these days. I too thought the article interesting though. Although the narrative of Captain America is that he enlisted in the 40's so chances of him having a turban and a beard are really really low, but it the dissonance effect is one that can be used to great advantage by artists to surface presumptions we don't know we are holding. |

Interestingly, one of the first known Sikhs in the US army was Bhagat Singh Thind[1] during the first world war. He was also involved in a legal battle[2][3] for naturalization which eventually lead to the landmark decision to allow "non-whites" to naturalize as US citizens.
