Disney/Marvel - Captain America In the Era of Donald Trump - A Hydra (Nazi) Agent All Along

When Captain America was originally conceived, he punched Hitler. In Civil War, he was a voice for civil disobedience in opposing the oppression of mutants. However, as the Republican party under Donald Trump rises to prominence with a message of intolerance and hate, Disney and Marvel re-imagine Captain America to represent America today, as an agent of the Nazi terrorist group Hydra. It is a pretty honest and bold move for Disney and Marvel to embrace the America of today where millions of Americans so willing embrace Donald Trump, a man unapologetically makes racist, sexist and religious based attacks on his adversaries. But then again, since Donald Trump's rise has been compared with rise of nationalists and facists, it would be fitting for Marvel/Disney's character to continue to be an ardent opponent of facism.

So, America, we now have a hero who is the proper face of Donald Trump's vision of America.

Hell hath no fury like a fanboy scorned, as the recent revelations in the new Marvel comic of Captain America have shown. Fans of the movie franchise will know that the WWII super soldier Steve Rogers, frozen solid after sacrificing himself, awakens in the modern world to find his old nemesis HYDRA, an evil Nazi group with ties to the occult and power grabbing, still active and everywhere. But now a twist in Captain America: Steve Rogers No. 1 has revealed one of the biggest twists in comics history – Captain America has been a HYDRA sleeper agent all along.

Plot twists like this are the bread and butter of the comic book industry, but fans have not been taking Captain America’s secret very well. Mostly down to the fact that HYDRA has undeniable ties to fascism and Nazi Germany. Even Chris Evans, the US actor who plays the Captain in Marvel Studios' billion dollar cinematic universe franchise, weighed in on the twist on Twitter:

In all the online sound and fury over the plot turn, a surprising response emerged among disappointed fans to challenge the comic: donate the price of the issue to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Rockscanfly, the name of the Tumblr user who came up with the idea, saw it shared far and wide across the Internet, finding favour among fans of the comic book character created by two Jewish cartoonists in the middle of WWII – whose very first cover saw him knocking auld Adolf’s blocks off with a single punch.
