Avengers: Infinity War - 8 Biggest Reveals From The Tie-In Comic

4. ...And The Proliferation Of Alien Tech Is A Key Concern

Peter Parker himself may not feature in this most recent comic, but that doesn't mean the events of Spider-Man: Homecoming bear no significance to Infinity War's plot.

That film, centred around the proliferation of Chitauri weaponry in the NYC area, is far from just a one-off, with an unknown faction in Syria having been gifted a care-package of alien tech courtesy of the United States Government. While it's unclear if Marvel are attempting to make any statements regarding U.S. foreign policy in this instance, the fact that the government themselves have been implicated in the proliferation of alien tech is bound to unsettle Captain America, whose allegiances were already beginning to shift by the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

It's a shift not without precedent either, with Cap having adopted the 'Nomad' identity in the wake of Steve Englehart's OG Secret Empire comic, which revolved around Steve responding to a conspiracy within Richard Nixon's government at the time of the Watergate affair.

Chris Evans recently fuelled speculation regarding the Nomad question when he signed a fan's shield with that name, so who knows, it could just be happening.
