Captain Hydra

I said this is a ‘controversial storyline’, but honestly, it was a bit more than that. When Hail Hydra started, and Cap was shown to have been a turncoat, there was downright rage from fans. Of course, he’s not actually a traitor.

Revealed shortly after the start, Cap has actually been manipulated thanks to the living Cosmic Cube that’s running around the Marvel U. A living Cube by the way, that loves Red Skull and wants to do anything to make him and Hydra happy. Hence making the Sentinel of Liberty into a Hydra sleeper.

Here in Cap #7, we see things picking up, which probably means that were getting closer to the moment that Cap is going to actually realize what’s happening. I doubt he’ll stay a secret villain forever, so you know that reveal is coming. Though I will say that it’s probably a ways off. If we know anything from similar Marvel tales like Superior Spider-Man, it’s that the publisher likes to drag this stuff on for a while.
