Ah, the old "moral inversion means that the hero is now going to be a more effective bad guy than the bad guy who triggered the moral inversion" ploy... (Shades of Rhinox in that Beast Wars episode)

[q99]

Using good-person methods to do bad does lead to some issues.

Wait, you mean Hydra are the Natives, and Cap's the Great White Hope who's going to be more Native than they are so he can save them? He's practically the Avatar of Hydra! ;-)

As Elseworlds/What-If stories go, I think this might have worked. As kinda-sorta continuity, um, well... nice to Red Ghost getting work again!

Which, while cute for a one shot episode, is a rather weak premise for an God only knows how long arc...

[coldfury]

Well, I think this issue ended that as an ongoing concern for him.

After seeing what Cap did to the Red Ghost and his Super-Apes, I'm just... y'know, I could tolerate what was going on as long as I thought Cap's inherent moral qualities were still in place, but he's racking up some serious blood on his hands.

But heck, the Red Ghost and the Apes have gotten better from worse in the past.

Until otherwise contradicted, I'm gonna assume Jack Flag survived because someone mentioned Guardians of the Galaxy was getting a sequel.

And lo, the patriotic superhero did cling to life, such was his hatred for "cosmic stuff" that he refused to leave this world before it did!

[coldfury]

Oh, this issue annoyed me.

Not for any of the reasons it would annoy a sane person. (killing off a C-List villain, staining Steve's hands, the solicit that was an outright lie, the tie in cover that was an outright lie.)

No, I'm annoyed because this book retcon'd Quasar's powerset in a way that directly contradicted his book.

I think this qualifies me officially as a grumpy old comic fan. :)

Is it just me or does Hydra!Cap look sassy as fuck showing off the new lab.

Sharon your hand....Sharon your HAND.........YOUR HAND......

[silicondream]

Yeah, that's gonna need more than a band-aid.

[cainofdreaming]

I see Marvel is still dead set on turning Zemo into his father. Even giving him his father's obsession with Adhesive X.

Edit - And even his father's mask, now that I took another look at this.

[kamino_neko]

So...does Sharon have black blood? Is she this universe's Crona?

Also, is that Hydra on Steve's chest a tattoo or just body paint?

[jmacq1]

Yeah...unless Sharon and Steve have ceased their romantic relationship, you'd think she'd have noticed a giant freakin' HYDRA tattoo on Steve's torso.

Then again, there's about a billion ways that could be concealed in the MU, so it's not TOO big a deal...but still.

Stever, no!!!!
