word of advice : SPOILERS forAvengers of the Wastelands # 2
TheCaptain Americaof Marvel ’s darkest future has finally been revealed , with a controversial line no fan would ever expect from Steve Rogers ' heir . But whether his ancestry story seduce him a scoundrel or a hero , even Cap himself would admit … it send a more knock-down content than his own .
The origin stories of both the present and next Captain Americas , born out of programs design to end an era of warfare , are eerily similar . But where Steve Rogers was transformed into a first-rate - soldier to fight against the ascendency of a fascist despot , the Captain America who has now joinedthe next Avengers of the Wastelandswas create to help fascism win . And just like Steve , he volunteer for the line .
The arrival ofthis hereafter , grizzle Captain America ( shell included)actually deliver the wrench ending of Ed Brisson and Jonas Scharf’sAvengers of the Wastelands # 1 , swooping in to assist the newly assembled heroes . luckily fans are n’t left enquire if Steve Rogers somehow hold out his presumed death , since the 2nd issue confirms that this man is a new holder of the title . And when press to explain his enhanced abilities and ground for taking up the name and uniform of the superstar - spangle Avenger , this new Cap break his blue root as asupervillain , not a superhero .
Inthe Wasteland time to come of Marvel ’s Universe(or one possible Marvel Universe , if you need to get technical ) , the mediocre citizens are often left out of the storey . Especially when it comes to explicate how villains merely ' acquire over ' entire population . This new Cap sheds some light on the mental process by revealing Victor Von Doom ’s strategy for seizing total restraint over his subjects once New Latveria is established . In short , by creating his own US Army of Captain America - subsequence superintendent - soldier . And of the one C of poor souls who volunteered … this future Cap stands alone :
I had no job . No money . I was scarce scraping by . And so I volunteer . Of the thousands who practice , only 400 of us made it past the first rounds of screening . And only 99 of those made it past the second rung . One for each remaining ampoule . And of those … only two of us survived being injected with the first-rate - soldier blood serum . But two Captain Americas – he called us his Lieutenants of Latveria – were more than enough to advance any war .
ab initio hopeless , this Lieutenant of Latveria takes a stand for the innocent , delivering his fellow super - soldier an harm that finally touch off his own rejection of the blood serum , and death ( or so it seems for now ) . trademark a treasonist , the recruit had no pick but to flee … and discover the heart of Captain America instead .
The tactile sensation of " kinship " that emerged in this would - be Doom - super - soldier makes perfect sense . Just like Steve Rogers , their desire to become something warm , something good , and something more is what begin their journey towards becoming Captain America . But where Steve ’s was simply a desire to do trade good – the form of noble spirit he was born with , and simply lack the strength to habituate it – the journey of this next Cap is something rich . nonplus down by the ascension of villains , fascism , and desperate times , he offer out of essential . And as a event , was uncoerced to believe the orders he was given .
Only when the accuracy about war and Caesarism became readable did he opt to become a hero , and a defender of the innocent . For Steve Rogers , no such choice to be a Hero of Alexandria , or even a good man was ever demand . Which means it is n’t just meet that he adopted the bequest of Captain America as a result … he in reality has the more impressive Captain America origin story . Here ’s hoping he can lead the Avengers of the Wastelands just as well .
