Recently, the comic book community experienced a wave of excitement with the revelation of Captain America saying “Hail Hydra.” This plot twist, which implicates Captain America in the HYDRA organization, has caused significant debate among fans, making them question the integrity of the character more than ever before.
Recently, Marvel released the second issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers, which explains the shocking statement made by Steve Rogers, our beloved Captain America, saying “Hail Hydra” just a few weeks ago. It’s important to clarify that this twist wasn’t unexpected for die-hard fans who had been speculating about it from the very beginning.
According to the storyline, the ties between Steve Rogers and the HYDRA organization are not entirely real. They stem from Kobik, a 4-year-old girl who emerged from the Cosmic Cube. This young girl has implanted this shocking revelation into Captain America’s mind on the orders of Red Skull, aiming to disrupt his reality and alter his perception of the past.
In this new comic issue, the methods Kobik uses to implant this shocking revelation into Captain America are yet to be fully detailed, and the objectives of HYDRA in executing this plan have not been clearly defined. Currently, Steve Rogers is no longer Captain America, as this title has been transferred to another character, Sam Wilson. Therefore, Steve Rogers’ actions do not necessarily mean that he has surrendered the Captain America mantle to Red Skull.
Regarding the character Kobik, we learned from another comic issue that SHIELD created Kobik and used her powers to generate a virtual reality to trap characters in a long sleep. With Red Skull’s control over Kobik, as seen in the recent Captain America: Steve Rogers #2, it becomes apparent that this character has been manipulated within SHIELD to utilize Kobik’s abilities, implanting this shocking revelation into Captain’s mind.
Let’s keep an eye on the upcoming comic issues to understand more clearly the reasons behind Red Skull’s shocking revelation into Steve Rogers’ mind to see how this character’s fate intertwines with our beloved Captain!
