Captain America Turns On One Of His Closest Allies With One Chilling Threat

Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, is one of the most beloved superheroes in the Marvel Universe. His efforts during World War II with the other Invaders were integral to the Allies achieving victory over the Axis Powers, and he more than earned his status as a symbol of hope and the American spirit. Steve continued his noble efforts decades later after being thawed from suspended animation, this time with allies like the Avengers.

Yet, all this isn’t to say that Captain America always gets along with his fellow champions of peace. Even excluding instances of brainwashing and mind control, there have been multiple instances where Steve has found himself on opposing sides with friends and comrades to stand up for his principles. The Civil War event is arguably the most famous example of this, as Steve led the anti-Superhero Registration Act movement against Iron Man’s pro-Registration forces.

Now Steve once again finds himself at odds with a close ally in the ongoing Captain America series. Though Steve’s body was out of commission during the Avengers: Armageddon storyline while his consciousness was transported to Hell and helped Doctor Doom overthrow Mephisto, he’s already been swept up in its aftermath.

The preview for Captain America opens with Steve watching TV to catch up on everything he missed while unconscious, from the thousands who died during the Avengers’ battle with Red Hulk, to how the United Nations has passed a resolution banning superpowers. Only the United States abstained from this, because, unofficially, there’d be no way to enforce this measure given how many superpowered people live in the country. Steve eventually hears enough, and rather than wait for Sharon Carter to pick him up from the hospital, he leaves on his own.

After leaving Tony Stark a voicemail, Steve is found in the nearby park by Nick Fury Sr., who fills in some of the blanks left out of the news reports. Thunderbolt Ross and Bucky Barnes are both presumed dead (the latter is actually still alive and will return in Immortal Soldiers), S.H.I.E.L.D. is helping the U.N. enforce this superpowers ban, and the inactive Avengers will be restricted to the United States should they reform. Steve is unsurprisingly not on board with this, pointing out to Fury that “good and evil don’t recognize borders.”

Then Steve learns that Vic, i.e. the young clone of Victor von Doom he met in Latveria before he was put into a coma, is actually still alive. That’s enough for the star-spangled hero to threaten Fury, whom he’s been working alongside for years, to “drop it.” Steve demands that he stay out of his way and stick to his lane of patrolling the skies in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, just like Nick Fury Sr. did, and “try to keep the peace with an iron fist like every fascist fool” before him, then angrily walks away.
