10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Captain America You Won't Believe Exist
2. Captain Colonies
Marvel Comics
Ever wondered what would've become of Captain America, had the nation in question never come into being? The answer (perhaps unsurprisingly), is Captain Colonies, a member of the Captain Britain Corps who hails from Earth-4103.
Called Stephen Rogers, this version of the Captain looks to be an amalgamation of Brian Braddock (Captain Britain) and Steve Rogers (Captain America). He features sporadically in the comics, having first appeared in 1991's Excalibur #44, but so far hasn't been the focus of any major story after the fact.
Whether or not that's an issue in itself is up to each reader's discretion, but still, there's no denying how strange a premise it actually is, and how in one version of the Marvel Universe, the Founding Fathers never went on to found anything.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
