Americans today are celebrating Independence Day – and what better way to honour July 4 than by praising the behind of Captain America?
As well as July 4 being an important patriotic day in the States, it's also a special day for the superhero - his birthday! (His actual age might surprise you, though.)
Fans of the Marvel character, played by Chris Evans, have taken to Twitter to pay tribute, but many have focused on one of his, er, other assets – his behind.
Fellow Avengers: Endgame actor Mark Ruffalo led the tributes by posting a video to Instagram in which a young Evans walks over to a framed picture of Cap's rump and nods approvingly.
Mark captioned the post with a simple "Happy #FourthofJuly!", alongside a peach emoji (very fitting).
Other fans took to Twitter to wish Captain America a happy birthday, as well as honour his famous derriere.

One fan even baked a really delicious looking cake in shape of Cap's bottom, so there's clearly all sorts of ways to celebrate his contribution.

The focus on Steve Rogers' bum comes from a joke in Avengers: Endgame, when Tony Stark/Iron Man pokes fun at the costume worn by Captain America in 2012, pointing out that the attire isn't very flattering.
Scott Lang/Ant-Man defends him, calling it "America's ass." Later, when Steve has a scrap with his past self, he spends some time having a look at his butt and agrees with Ant-Man, saying: "That IS America's ass."
Looks like plenty of others agree. Happy Independence Day!
Avengers: Endgame is out now.
