Charlton Magnum (Captain Americana) is a villain in the Marvel Comics universe.
The character first appeared in Howard the Duck #5 (May 1980).
Within the context of the stories, Captain Americana lives in Shaker Heights, Ohio. He is an insane patriot who believes firmly that America is the worlds' supreme power. He accuses any Non-Americans as an excuse for "polluting the American home", as he describes Howard. His weapons include a variety of guns he keeps loaded around his home, although a majority of these are shotguns.
He wields a shield like that of the Silver Age Captain America, which Magnum can toss at great length and catch it as it ricochets off an object like a wall. His obsession with American ideals is somewhat disturbing, especially as any foreigners he comes to face with is described as a "Pinko Communist" in the captains' dictionary. He also idolizes Senator Joseph McCarthy, and believes in McCarthys' idea that negotiations are just a waste of time. When Howard the Duck asks who McCarthy is (not having heard of him), Captain Americana denounces him as a blasphemer.
Captain Americana still resides in Shaker Heights, living with his three children (Sissy, Billy and Junior Magnum) and his wife, Emily.
