Story of a Five Year Old Avenger, Meeting The Avengers

“Evans crouches down next to Edison, who extends his hand and shakes the hand of The First Avenger.  “Can I see your shield?” Evans asks and Edison hands his battered toy shield over.  “Wow, you’re getting a lot of use out of this. You fighting a lot of bad guys with this?” he asks.”

Captain America Motivates The World’s Youngest Avenger 

"I received an email from one Lisa Evans. Yes.  Lisa Evans, aka Chris Evans’ mom. - She spoke kindly about Edison and Jill and talked about her own memories of that day on the set of The Avengers.  She also extended the offer to get what we were unable to at Comic Con — Chris Evans’ signature. […] The new shield was signed “To Edison — Here’s a new one from my collection!!” The picture read, “Thanks for the drawing.”  Finally, the original, beat-up shield had what may be the best message for a young kid to hear from one of their heroes; “Dream big!”  Every morning when he gets up, Edison gets to see these awesome gifts, and read that amazing message that will hopefully inspire him to do great things. My hope is that if he ever comes up against an obstacle or something that seems to hard, he can remember what Captain America told him to do.”
