With Marvel Studios’ latest live-action outing, Captain America: Brave New World, being a bit underwhelming both critically and commercially, many fans have found themselves let down by the adaptations of certain iconic characters in the film. After three excellent entries in the Captain America film franchise were released to great acclaim over the years, the first to feature Sam Wilson taking on the shield should have been another easy win for Marvel.Unfortunately, the choice to combine aspects of Captain America’s comic book storylines and history with those of Bruce Banner, aka the Incredible Hulk, muddled the film’s narrative and confused fans. Brave New World practically operates as a sequel to The Incredible Hulk from 2008 as much as the previous Captain America films. It’s an odd choice, and it also meant that Hulk villains like Red Hulk and the Leader had to have their backgrounds, motivations, and storylines changed drastically to fit this new adaptation, a fact that, particularly with the Leader, left fans disappointed.After amassing enough intelligence and knowledge of the world, Sterns gave himself the name the Leader and began trying to form a spy network around the world, which he would use to manipulate global events to his own ends. During his escapades, however, the Leader stumbles upon the Hulk, a creature he becomes utterly fixated with. Their connection through Gamma is enough to send the Leader spiraling down into obsession with the Jade Giant, and thus began their epic rivalry, a battle between brain and brawn centered around Sterns’ unquenchable thirst for knowledge and power.
