Sam Wilson's Captain America: 10 Things Fans Need To Know
7. Taking On Evil Captain America
The concept of a new Captain America is recent. Sam Wilson has been holding the shield for only a short time.
During his time in the role, one of his most iconic moments came during the Secret Empire run. Sam Wilson gives up the role of Captain America after Steve Rogers reveals his connection with Hydra. The shock of the moment levels Falcon’s confidence in the position he took on as a friend of Steve’s.
He instead operates an underground operation that helps moves United States citizens out of Hydra’s control and into border countries. Sam Wilson later begrudgingly takes up the name Captain America again and works with a group of heroes to stop Hydra. His role in preventing evil Captain America is vital, and he’s a huge reason the heroes win. Don’t expect Steve Rogers to turn evil anytime soon, but do expect Sam Wilson to find challenges while filling in this role.
