Captain America revealed as a secret Nazi in new comic

When fans ran out to grab Marvel Comics’ “Captain America: Steve Rogers #1” on its release Wednesday, they were not expecting this. Captain America discloses in the issue that he is in fact a secret operative of the evil, formerly Nazi organization, Hydra.

The dramatic twist happens right on the last page, as Captain America prepares to throw his supposed ally, Jack Flag, off an airplane, presumably to his death, and exclaims, “Hail Hydra!”

Even Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, most recently in “Captain America: Civil Wars,” was shocked.

Writer Nick Spencer assured readers that this isn’t a gimmick or a trick: Captain America, whose alter ego is Steve Rogers, is going to remain a secret Hydra operative, and the next issue will explore how he came to be a double-agent for the sinister organization.

Some interpreted the twist as a slight to the character’s Jewish creators, Joe Simon (born Hymie Simon) and Jack Kirby (born Jacob Kurtzberg)....

See...Captain America loves America, therefore he must be a Nazi. That’s how a leftard’s noodle works.

[who knows what evil?]

Marvel/Nick Spencer are taking an unbelievable beating over this on Twitter...even actor Chris Evans has weighed in. Fans (to my shock and surprise) are pissed.

Liberal america has long been anti-Semitic. This just shows that they want to throw the Jews in the gas chambers, like their ideological forebears did 70 years ago.

[Holdem Or Foldem]

Look at the bright side, a closet nazi is terrible but a closet Liberal would have been catastrophic.

Love the way the article managed to get the “Trump is a fascist (NAZI)’ meme in play.

They deserve to be in the toilet in trying to make Captain America a fag and a Nazi. Jack Kirby was one of the best action comic book artists around (maybe Steve Ditko was a bit jazzier in his “Spiderman” fights). Jack Kirby could almost create the illusion of motion/action with his drawings.

...and by issue #332, Captain America/Steve Rogers will wake up to find the whole thing was just a dream. /s

Spencer’s probably a homo. A quick search on his name found him tweeting about the joys of gay marriage just a bit too much.

[who knows what evil?]

The obvious next step here was will be to replace the white Nazi Steve Rogers with the more ‘politically-correct’ (and black) Sam Wilson. Spencer will now be known as the ‘Man Who Turned Captain America into a Nazi’. One of Marvel’s all-time bad ideas. Beyond bad.

It’s designed to get people who wouldn’t be talking about a Captain America comic talking. Don’t give them the satisfaction.

This.

Comic publishers have driven away their audience with high prices and uber-liberal writing. I quit because of the prices (back when they were pushing $3 and I was buying at a good discount) but from what I gather now, Captain America is a Nazi, Ms. Marvel is a muslim, there is a gay Spider-Man, a female Thor, a gay Batwoman, a gay Green Lantern, a Korean Hulk, a female Wolverine, a gay Aqualad, a black Kid Flash...

I'm sure I am missing a lot from that list. But the point is they are radically altering their famous properties just to make news, and it does, but it isn't translating into sales. And they probably scratch their heads and wonder why the movie versions make billions and they can't move a hundred thousand copies without something labeled "event."

[Rastus]

Quite a PC checklist. They should be so proud. Hey, we can’t give these away, but we can pat ourselves on the back! The only one I know isn’t quite accurate is the gay Spider-Man. The new guy is black/Hispanic, but not gay. Peter Parker is now a leftist billionaire industrialist, though.

Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in the movies, works out constantly with weights to get the proper bicep bulge for the character. If those comic book writers had their way, Chris Evans would be wearing lipstick and Nazi regalia -- sick mother...(read without the ellipses).

Liberals destroy everything they touch.

I must have gotten the new Spider-Man confused with something else. Peter Parker is now Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark? So much for the guy who had to beg Mrs. Muggins for more time on the rent and Jonah Jameson for an advance!

[Sapwolf]

Stop the panic.

I’m sure Capt. America is pretending to be a Hydra dude so that he can be a double agent, infiltrate Hydra and bring it down from within.

Have Faith. And...Hail ...um...America!

I read a panel online where someone asks him why he doesn’t just buy whatever it was, since he’s the head of a multinational, and he says, “I only accept the level of payment of my lowest paid employee.” Groan. So, they have it both ways. He’s rich, but he’s not.

[LostInBayport]

How very Social Justice Warrior of him. I can see why they changed things. Before, Peter Parker busted his @$$ taking photographs worth purchasing for publication, taught college for a few extra bucks and paid his bills without public assistance.

Such an outdated role model. Is Aunt May on food stamps?

[Mr. Peabody]

They killed off Archie too.
