Yeah, I've never really understood people who are always complaining about what a useless character Steve is. I think they're confusing him with the Silver-to-Bronze-Age Steve, who WAS pretty useless - he was basically a testosterone-fueled male version of Lois Lane. Golden Age Steve, on the other hand, is a two-fisted, pipe-smoking manly-man who nonetheless has no problem with the fact that his girlfriend is so much better than him at practically everything - in fact, that's one of the reasons why he loves her. He has his jealous moments, as was probably inevitable, but overall, he's a peach of a fellow.
