Years ago, superheroes like Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Professor X created a group called The Illuminati to discuss potential threats in the future. Since the group have to sometimes get their hands dirty for the greater good, The Illuminati keep their discussions secret from other groups like the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.

When Captain America learned of the Illuminati, he felt like Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and the others betrayed his trust. Eventually, Cap realised that the group's secrecy was necessary as there are some matters that can't be made public without causing mass hysteria.

After Cap joined the Illuminati, the group learned of an Incursion; a collision of two universes, which results in the destruction of both. When they learned that a universe was about to collide with theirs, Cap used the Infinity Gauntlet's power to destroy it.

When The Illuminati learned that other Incursions were imminent, Cap refused to take part, stating that the Illuminati were killing trillions to guarantee their own survival. He said their actions were no different than the supervillains they have faced over the years. Realising that he wouldn't listen to reason, Doctor Strange erased Cap's memory of The Illuminati.
