As offended buff grew more and more ashen watch Marvel dredge their submarine ’s report through the clay , the publisher maintained it would all figure out out in the final stage . But lover may be vindicated in the first chapter of Marvel ’s new age , with Steve Rogers learning whatSecret Empire ’s critics claimed all along : happy termination or no , some legal injury just ca n’t be undone .
That ’s a serious STD of meta - commentary for any laughable book account , permit alone one that proved far more controversial than Marvel may have expected . It ’s still intemperate to say if thefan outrage may have changedSecret Empire ’s conclusion , but the idea that Captain America could be resurrected as a wedge and return to who he had been before has been shatter . Which means the Steve Rogers whowasmay be gone for effective .
With the launching ofMarvel Legacy#1 , the first Word of God to set Marvel ’s raw course from here frontwards , the submarine of Earth are still essay to put the world back together . But they ’ll have to do it without Captain America .
The Good Captain America Returned… But The Damage Was Done
Some might accuse Marvel of make their cake and eating it too withthe grand return of Captain America , appearing out of slender tune to give ' HydraCap ' the trouncing he so dearly deserved . He evenraised Thor ’s hammer as proofhe was still a grinder … stillthehero his defeated and demoralize champion once believed him to be . But the cicatrix of Hydra stay , and inthe follow - upOmegaissue , Steve Rogers had a face - to - face conversation with the atrocious villain that had defile his legacy . The bang of victory was short - lived , readers learned , as Steve recounted the accurate moment that he realize the human race would never view him the same .
While turn over through the rubble of the massive , black conflict that head to his resurrection , Steve came upon a untried boy and , as he always had before , prolong his helping hand to help . But the son saw only the monster the world now roll in the hay Captain America to be , unable to grasp the admittedly fuzzy logic of the ' true ' Cap ’s return . And when the boy kick his hand in fear , Steve understand how much HydraCap had take from him . A life spent doing the right matter , being a hero to all , and set up himself as an unchallenged ' good guy ' had all been burned to the ground .

Steve Rogers is Turning His Back on The World
Again , you have to appreciate the verse of that disappointing termination , whether or not you personally agree that Captain America has been for good tarnish by powers beyond the hero ’s own control ( be it Red Skull , or Marvel Comics editor in chief ) . So whether you chance it poignant or but the next step in the tarradiddle , Legacy ’s continuation of dozens of storylines sustain it ’s the most uneasy place for Steve Rogers to maybe exist . His result , it turns out , is to take off his costume , throw on a jacket , and ride his motorcycle into the middle of nowhere .
It ’s not theleastreasonable way to react to finding outthe ' evil you ' sent Deadpool to down Phil Coulson . or that you personallymurdered the Black Widow(and unnumerable thousands of other casualty of global state of war ) . The world has also get down most of its Hero of Alexandria back on guard , include Steve ’s former friend Sam Wilson , returning to his identity element as the Falcon , pairing up with the new Ironheart , and Jane Foster ’s Thor to take on top - level terror . Even so , there ’s no question that the humanity needs Captain America more than ever - need him toanswerfor what happened , or volunteer some kind of account .
Instead , he ’s riding down a long road towards a destination he has yet to choose .
Who Will Steve Rogers Be, if Not Captain America?
For reviewer and devoted fans , Steve ’s real moral state or responsibleness is on purpose toilsome to grasp . The ' good ' Steve was n’t swop out and replaced with an evil doppelganger at a specific decimal point : the Cosmic Cube reshaped reality so that Steve ’s heroic calling rest the same … he was justa Hydra sleeper agent the total clip . The Steve that returned to save the daylight was n’t held wrapped , but raise from a"memory"of the Steve that existed before . What that make believe him is still up in the air , but he knows one matter for certain : being Captain America no longer mean what is used to . With the reliance of the world gone , it appear Steve Rogers must happen a completely young path .
Until he does , the world may have to do without its best - known superhero . And Marvel Comics may have to do without its poster boy . What lies ahead for Steve Rogers , or where he ’s physically head is a secret they ’re keeping for now . The full news , for those infelicitous to see Steve Rogers turn his back on the reality , is that he has n’t left the shield behind just yet .
But when or why it ’s deplumate from his baggage … well , you ’ll just have to keep take to see that question answer .
