10 WHAT IF…? Comics Marvel Needs To Adapt For Season 2

10. What If... Captain America Had Been Elected President?

This one seems like a no brainer, after one of the universes that the Watcher and Ultron's fight led through saw the exact moment Steve Rogers was being sworn into Presidency. It is already established that this has happened somewhere in the multiverse, so why not tell the story?

Once elected, Steve Rogers began making good on the promises he built his campaign around. He freed the US from dependency on foreign oil, he aided freedom fighters in their battle against tyranny in South America, and he even managed to dodge an attempt on his life.

Unable to truly let go of being Captain America, Steve went south for a meeting with San Pedro's new President, the man he helped overthrow the country's dictator. However, this turned out to be the Red Skull working a ruse to get to Rogers. The two fought before a solar beam from outer space was shot by the Red Skull, killing them both instantly. In death Steve Rogers was honoured as Captain America and as a great President of the United States.

It has been reported that season two of What If...? could focus more on character driven stories rather than the darker, action fueled episodes that led to the Guardians of the Multiverse in season one, making this story a perfect candidate to base an episode around.
