10 Unbelievable Marvel Plot Twists That Shocked The World
1. Captain America Was Hydra All Along
There's fan backlash to a storyline and then there's the full-on meltdown that a vast majority seemed to experience when Secret Empire came around.
When Steve Rogers was revealed to be a secret Hydra agent all this time, it caused a nuclear explosion of hatred that was aimed at all those involved.
It didn't matter that this was a clone of Captain America, nor did it matter that our Steve Rogers was still red, white and blue down to his core, the fact that Marvel had the nerve to take a long establish character and change him at such a fundamental level just blew so many minds.
The whole point behind any plot twist is to reveal something that you didn't see coming and nobody - nobody - saw this happening until it dropped. If you did, then congratulations, because you must've worked on the comic.
Eventually, the original Captain America would find his way back to the world -even if he was a lot younger when he finally returned - but for a short while, the man who once punched Hitler in the face, was the poster boy for evil.
