Captain America is an incredibly skilled hero who can do just about anything, but his experiences with time travel highlight one major weakness.
Legendary hero captain America It can do a lot of things, from leading armies to battle to outsmarting the best Marvel Universe fighters in hand-to-hand combat. However, there is one thing that was bad about it, which is the time travel.
Captain America can be considered one of the heroes who travel through time. It was originally created in 1940 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby for Timely Comics’ captain america comics (who appeared in a memorable cap with a cap punching Hitler in the face) Steve Rogers was one of the many propaganda outlets used by the United States government during World War II. After the conflict ended, Captain America enjoyed nearly two decades of retirement before Marvel Comics brought him back in 1964. In Avengers #4, Earth’s Greatest Heroes retrieve Steve Rogers’ body from a frozen block of ice in the ocean, where he fell during his last mission during the war. Surviving the suspended animation by Super Soldier Serum, Cap was ready to return in the new era of heroes as the leader of the Avengers. His decades-long sleep, a wonderful narrative tool used by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, was a form of time travel, but it wouldn’t be the last time Cap tossed around the timeline.
Sure, spending two decades in suspense animation isn’t the most practical way to move forward in time, but that’s nothing compared to Steve’s later adventures. A story called “A Man Out of Time” appeared in captain America Volume 3 #18 by Mark Wade, Lee Weeks, and Christy Skell shows Cap in the 31st century, a future ruled by the machine god Korvac. Cap Korvac follows there after a time-traveling villain tricks him into killing Red Skull to steal his power that he uses to conquer the future. Steve is clearly fighting against the tyrant, but Corvac’s power allows him to reset time, trapping Cap in an endless loop that continues for centuries before he finds a way to defeat the villain and return to his schedule. That doesn’t change the fact that Steve spends centuries in Korvac’s dystopian future, but this isn’t his worst experience with time travel.
When Captain America is assassinated by the then mind controlled Sharon Carter Civil warbecome his soulLocked in a fixed point in space and timeAs his mind navigates through time, forcing him to relive certain moments of his life, as seen in Captain America: Born Again Written by Ed Brubacher, Brian Hitch, and Paul Montes. He’s risen (albeit one of his worst enemies), but his harrowing experiences with time travel aren’t over yet. While it’s technically not about time travel, Cap does spend a very long time trapped in Arnim Zola’s “Dimension Z”, a place where time and space move much faster than the outside world. Steve spends years there, fighting against Zola and even raising his son Ian to be a hero, and even if he is able to return to his own dimension in the end, it’s still another horrific time experience for Captain America. The story “Castaway in Dimension Z” appeared in captain America Volume 7, Number 1-10, by Rick Reminder with art by John Romita, Jr. and Dean White.
It’s really surprising that while nearly every Marvel hero is able to travel through time and dimensions without any ill effects, Steve Rogers has always struggled and must spend years away from his “normal” life. This is especially intriguing given that Captain America is basically perfect at whatever else he’s doing, so time travel seems like a very strange weakness. Steve Rogers has been nicknamed “A Man Out of Time” due to his original time going from World War II to the present, and given how bad his past record was, it would be better if captain America He stayed as far away as he could from other time travels.
