Captain America has taken the lead in numerous teams, including the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., the Thunderbolts, and the Invaders. While many of these collaborations have been highly effective, there are still certain individuals with whom Steve Rogers steadfastly refuses to join forces, even in dire circumstances. However, it seems that Steve may soon have to reconsider his stance and make an exception.
The very act of collaborating with those he has sworn to oppose will likely become a source of profound personal conflict for Captain America, challenging his identity as a hero.
Even Captain America has to draw the line somewhere, and in One World Under Doom #1—written by Ryan North with art by R.B. Silva—Steve adamantly refuses to team up with Baron Zemo or Hydra. Specifically, Steve stands his ground in no uncertain terms with three words: “No. Not ever.”
Steve Rogers is a principled man who does not go back on his word easily or often. However, as the events of One World Under Doom unfold, Steve finds himself eating his own words, leaving him with no other option but to team up with some of his greatest adversaries to save the world from Doctor Doom.
"No. Not Ever.": Captain America Is About to Eat His Own Words
One World Under Doom #1; Written by Ryan North with Art by R.B. Silva
One World Under Doom #1 was released on February 12, showcasing Steve Rogers firmly declaring that he will never work with his sworn enemies, Baron Zemo and Hydra. Both Zemo and Hydra have long been Steve’s adversaries, whom he has defeated time and again. However, the looming threat of Doctor Doom’s impending global dictatorship presents a desperate situation for our favorite heroes, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Given the danger posed by the Sorcerer Supreme, Captain America and the Avengers will need all the help they can get.
The official synopsis for the nine-issue One World Under Doom miniseries reveals that heroes and villains alike must join forces to confront Victor von Doom at the height of his power. With the cover of One World Under Doom #3 featuring villains such as MODOK, Baron Mordo, and Mysterio, it is clear that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will require as much manpower—and superpower—as possible. Steve’s firm statement of “No. Not ever” seems to have been made in haste, and it’s likely to come back to bite him in the end.
The Avengers have faced Doom. But Earth still needs avenging - and it’s not just the heroes who dislike having Doom in charge. And so heroes and villains unite against Doom, intent on taking him down once and for all! But that’s not all: A simultaneous magic attack reveals the shocking truth of HOW Doom took over the world - with terrifying implications for how others might - or might not - take it from him. However, Doom’s mind - vast and cool and unsympathetic - is not the only one regarding Earth with envious eyes...
Captain America Faces His Toughest Moral Dilemma Yet
Steve Rogers Is Nothing If Not Principled
The weight of Steve Rogers’ declaration will undoubtedly hang heavy on his conscience as he is forced to reconcile his unwavering moral code with the grim reality of the world and the dire situation Doom has created. The very act of collaborating with those he has sworn to oppose—such as Baron Zemo and Hydra—will likely become a source of profound personal conflict for Captain America, challenging his identity as a hero. This situation starkly illustrates the sacrifices required in the face of overwhelming odds, forcing Steve to confront the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, in order to protect the greater good, one must make difficult choices that compromise their ideals.
This internal struggle between steadfast principles and pragmatic necessity is poised to be a central theme in Steve’s character arc throughout the miniseries. It will compel him to confront the uncomfortable truth that, at times, the greater good demands actions that blur the lines between hero and villain. This conflict may make his ability to lead a coalition of heroes and villains particularly challenging. Fans can look forward to witnessing Captain America grapple with regret over his firm stance, adding an intriguing subplot to the unfolding narrative
