10 Characters Who Proved Captain America WRONG

Captain America has always stood as the paragon of virtue and the personification of everything that makes America great. He's one of the most important characters in the Marvel Universe, and while he can go toe-to-toe with anyone he meets, one of the most important aspects of his personality is his strong moral compass.

The guy never stands on the side of the bully, and will always take up a fight when he sees someone throwing their weight around. It's what makes him who he is, and this has helped him develop into a leader of superheroes, and someone people naturally take orders and guidance from.

Rogers is just one of those guys you can't help but respect, but even he isn't right all of the time. Everyone gets something wrong at least once in their lives, and Captain America is no different. Granted, it doesn't happen often, but there have been moments in his 75+ years of publication, where he's been proven wrong.

Typically, this doesn't warrant any sort of disastrous outcome, but it has happened from time to time. Sometimes, standing for what you believe in without giving a second thought to another person's point of view puts you in the wrong, and that's certainly been the case with Cap, every once in a while.

There were a few moments in Marvel's Civil War that put Captain America to the test. One such event involved Frank Castle, aka, the Punisher, and it wasn't your typical ordeal where one man proves the other was wrong through their own actions. Rather, they take a beating in an expression of irony.

When Cap is beginning to marshal his forces for the coming conflict, he is approached by a couple of guys named The Plunder and Goldbug. They were villains who sought to reform themselves by joining up with Cap's band of superheroes who opposed the Superhero Registration Act.

Before they had a chance to do anything, Punisher unloaded on them, killing both men instantly. After all, killing bad guys is what the Punisher does, and when two walked right up and presented themselves, it was like serving them up on a silver platter to the bitter soldier.

Cap didn't appreciate what happened, and he immediately turned on Castle. He beat him relentlessly, but Castle refused to raise a finger in his defense. Captain America is a hero to Castle, and he was more than happy to take a beating from the man. The thing is, Castle was unarmed at this point, which means Cap was pummelling an unarmed man, nearly to death, all the while calling him a "Murderous piece of trash."
