Differences[]
- Nick Fury is stylized like his classic Earth-616 counterpart while still African American like Ultimate Marvel in a similar way to The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, most likely done to deviate from the Samuel L. Jackson-inspired design used nowadays.
- Sharon Carter, for a chunk of the series, was a brainwashed sleeper agent for Hydra until Steve broke her free from her state.
- Sin is Red Skull's granddaughter instead of his daughter and currently leads Hydra.
- The Red Guardian is shown to be highly more antagonistic, still believing in communism and finding Captain America as his perfect match.
- Yelena is referred to as Crimson Widow rather than Black Widow to avoid confusion with Natasha.
- The Red Room is connected to Hydra.
Issues[]
- WWII - a brief flashback issue following Captain America having his final confrontation with the Red Skull during WWII.
- Welcome Back Captain America - Several decades have passed since Nazi Germany was defeated as a S.H.I.E.L.D. group finds out the location of Steve's body, leading to him being revived by them and, as a result, he starts to learn about the TBD.
