8 Strangest Alternate Versions Of Beloved Superheroes

Marvel 1602, as the title might imply, moved Marvel's most popular characters into a British setting in the Elizabethan era. This includes Peter Parquagh as "The Spider", Sir Nicholas Fury, The Four from the Fantastick (take a wild guess who they are) and Doctor Stephen Strange.

As most of the story is set in England, and set a whole five years before the British colonization of America, you would assume Captain America might not survive the transition into the Elizabethan timeline – especially considering there's already a Marvel character called Captain Britain, so they couldn't just straight up cheat in that sense.

Instead, Marvel cheated by just having the actual Captain America (well, not the actual one, but a very similar one, because comics) sent back in time by the Purple Man who now rules over the entire Marvel Universe as "President For Life". This Steve Rogers goes under the pseudonym "Rojhaz", pretending to be a Native American and acting as a bodyguard to Virginia Dare – yes, the real Virginia Dare.

Well, not the real one, because comics, and also because apparently she can transform into animals - but you get the idea.

Funnily enough, this isn't the only time Steve Rogers adopted a Native American persona. In the inventively titled "What If Captain America Fought in the Civil War?", Captain America (spoilers!) fights in the Civil War.

In this universe, Bucky Barnes is a huge dick who orders Steve Rogers to gun down some civilians – which he understandably takes some issue with. After getting shot by Bucky and having some kind of hallucination/prophecy, Rogers is taken in by this universe's version of Falcon and then immediately inducted into a mystical ceremony which is then immediately interrupted by Bucky.

Rogers is then transformed into Captain Native-America, which affords him superhuman strength, a sweet pair of white cutoff jeans and a shield that can turn into a freaking eagle. Oh, and Bucky's face is melted off for some reason, turning him into this universe's incarnation of Red Skull.

Rogers then goes on to prevent the Indian wars of 1870, destroy the KKK, and prevent Abraham Lincoln's assassination – thus, ironically, making him the most American incarnation of Captain America to ever exist
