There has never been any question as to what values Captain America holds dearest, just as there has never been any doubt as to how far he is willing to go to uphold them. Whether it means putting his life, reputation, or legacy on the line, Steve Rogers has never faltered in his pursuit of truth, justice, and freedom. Unfortunately, his unwavering belief in those very same ideals might also be Captain America’s biggest weakness, and his latest adventure is about to prove it.Captain America #6 (by J. Michael Straczynski, Lan Medina, Belardino Brabo, Espen Grundetjern, and VC’s Joe Carmagna) finds the titular hero caught in one of the most explosive fights of his life as he squares off against an enigmatic foe imbued with quite literally demonic strength and power. Despite being objectively outmatched, Captain America is unyielding in the face of his infernal foe. This is in large part because Captain America is well aware that backup is on the way courtesy of none other than the Sorcerer Supreme. While Doctor Strange does indeed provide Captain America with the tools he needs to excise the demon from their world, he is also reticent to suggest that as a course of action. As Doctor Strange points out, defeating the demon who has been terrorizing their world will only create a power vacuum in Hell that will assuredly be filled by even worse threats. Though Captain America hears and understands that warning, it isn’t one that he decides to heed, and all because he can’t come to terms with the idea that sometimes the cost of doing the right thing is far more than it is actually worth.Still, whether it be live-action or animated, no adaptation of Captain America has been devoid of the character’s most endearing truths. The vast majority have escaped many of the complex, overtly political storylines that have come to define Captain America in the comics, but they have still leaned into the basic morality that the character embodies. All the same, most of these adaptations of the character have avoided falling into the sort of jingoistic trappings that similarly define many of Captain America’s worst enemies. Of course, by consistently looking toward a better future, Captain America has inadvertently lent himself to being frequently betrayed by those he works with. And, by always being willing to serve someone a second chance, he has also inadvertently opened the door for further betrayals to be suffered.
