10 Things Everyone Always Gets Wrong About Captain America
8. His Role In Civil War
Captain America: Civil War was only a single movie, but it was based on a yearlong event that flipped the entirety of the Marvel Universe on its head. In the movie, the response to the Ultron event led to an international agreement called the Sokovia Accords, but that's not how it went down in the comics.
Instead of Ultron and Sokovia, the government reacted to Nitro's explosion in a small town that killed 600 civilians. That event led to the Superhero Registration Act, which, like the Sokovia Accords, split the superhero community in half.
Tony Stary took the pro-government side of the debate while Steve Rogers went anti-Registration, and a superhero civil war was born. The movie only managed to have one big battle between the two sides as well as a final confrontation between Cap, Iron Man, and the Winter Soldier. In the comics however, there were dozens of battles spanning the entirety of the event.
Stark created a clone of Thor who killed Goliath, and things got out of hand from there. Cap went full-rogue and led his band of anti-registration forces much like a terrorist cell, only they didn't attack civilians, and worked only to free those captured by Stark and his cronies.
