10 Characters Who Replaced Captain America

9. Danielle Cage

Bucky Barnes as Captain America
Marvel Comics

Sadly, this is not about the time Captain America handed his shield over to a baby.

Danielle is the daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. In one timeline she grew up to find that she had both of her parent's powers and became a superhero. Once Steve Rogers retired, he passed the mantle of Captain America on to her.

This version of Danielle Cage first appeared as part of a group of Avengers plucked from various points in the timestream to fight against Ultron. She then appeared again as part of a group of future Avengers who travelled back in time to stop a demon that had possessed Wiccan before he became powerful enough to destroy the world.

More recently, the future version of Dani came to the present again while chasing after her nemesis the Golden Skull. Golden Skull had travelled back in time from their dystopian era to rob a wealthier time period of all its valuables. Dani was able to apprehend the Golden Skull with the help of the U.S.Avengers and returned to her time period.

The story also revealed that Danielle Cage becoming Captain America is a common occurrence across most timelines in the Marvel multiverse.
