Cap without powers.
This occurred when the Red Skull was able to use the power of the Cosmic Cube to change the world to his liking, and reverted Captain America back to pre-serum Steve Rogers. Too bad the Red Skull is a punk bitch, because he still got his ass beat.
Cap surrenders.
This happeneds near the end of Civil War, after a huge prison break occurred at Prison 42, a prison built for super villains in mind, and located in an alternate universe (The Negative Zone). The fight spilled out from the prison and into New York, causing a huge amount of destruction.
Cap and prejudice.
I've seen things suggesting that Cap might come out of his freeze unintentionally prejudiced because of the time he lived in, but this panel and the following one shows differently.
Cap and his gay friend.
Cap had a gay friend in the earlier comics and not only was accepting of this fact, but he later helped him overcome being brainwashed by a villain (also, he was breaking out of a force field, not beating the guy up).
Cap and the beginning of Civil War.
This is one of the first actions that lead to the Pro-registration vs the Anti-registration, when Director Hill tried to get Captain America on their side.
Cap and building.
After Stark Tower was destroyed (pretty sure during Secret Wars), Stark was left with financial problems and didn't want to rebuild. Cap wanted otherwise.
Cap and the Civil War Speech.
This is one of Caps more controversial speeches, mostly because you can argue that terrorists and generally shitty people can use the same type of rationalization that can be applied to this speech. Cap is more optimist when it comes to people however. In the Civil War movie he said "My faith's in people, I guess, individuals. And I'm happy to say for the most part, they haven't let me down."
Cap and the government.
Cap isn't merely a pawn of the government. Multiple times he has given up the mantle of Captain America so he could pursue what he felt was right.
Cap and a lost war.
Granted this wasn't the only American war he would have missed out on, but it was a nice touch to see that Cap really does care for the time that he missed while he was frozen.
Cap and the impostor.
After the "death" of Cap, a man named William Burnside tried to become the next Captain America. He even injected himself with the super soldier serum, but wasn't properly prepared for it, and fell into insanity. He tried to model himself as the real Captain America, but it was easy to tell which one the real one was when Cap returned.
Cap and the Dream.
Again, Cap shows that he will always put his ideals and moral above all else.
God Bless Momma America. Nuff said.
Also, Infinity War spoilers below.

Cap vs Thanos.
Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet absolutely destroyed the Avengers with no effort. He literally (actually literally) killed half of the universe with a snap of his fingers. Cap was still willing to fight a losing battle, and die, for an incredibly small chance at victory.

For anybody interested i have the whole civil war comic series posted on my profile.
ak4ty7
Loved that scene between Cap and Hill in Civil War and his subsequent jump from the Helicarrier.
Crowlands
I really like the third one because it shows that Cap isn't racist or sexist, but he comes from a world that was. He's surprised at how 1/2
Crowlands
far America (And most of the rest of the world) has grown, but in no way is against it. 2/2
WHYDIDYOUSAYTHATNAME
As someone who doesn't read Marvel comics, these look waaaay better than the movies.
TargaryenLoyalist
“Or at organizing a cosmic assault, I see.” Damn, Thanos is no slouch in the witty comeback department.
AgamemnonsMemes
Hail Hydra.
Omakepants
Those three panels where Cap silently steps to Thanos... one of my favorite comic scenes.
frackinfracker
Gigantic vibranium balls bruh
Fuckme721
I strive to be like Captain America. Luckily in my family I was the one nicknamed as him. He is everything I wish to be.
narniasreal
Still mad at how they f-ed up Civil War for the movie... movie was okay, but had almost nothing in common with the source
RandoWis
I'm kinda sad my favorite wasn't included. The one where Cap convinces Nuke to stand down with words instead of violence.
fantastapotamus
that run in daredevil is, for me, one of the best I have ever read in comics. DD vol 1 issues 227-233

Thank you. I’m a big fan of Cap, always great to see these tidbits about him now and again.

Hail Hydra
Holinyx05
If Thanos doesn't kill half the universe at the end of part 1 I'm going to ask for my money back
GrimdogX
I used to look at cap as one of the inferior heroes, but after the MCU I started looking into him and damn is he a great character.
Dakralai
If infinity war part 1 doesn't end with that shield being destroyed then I will be very disappointed.
TristanBomb
Man, I want the MCU to end with a real fuckin' downer ending. The Infinity Stones are too powerful. Thanos wins. Game over. The end.
YouSeemLikeAVeryCleverPerson
It's for kids, remember
laboon
If cap doesnt say "I can do this all day" to Thanos i will lose my fucking shit.
Rifneno
Remember how he (or anyone else) died in Civil War?
arubberchicken9
It needs to end with the snap.
XaiaX
It's not "part 1" anymore. They apparently ditched the 2 part idea.
KWJester49
Thought they were just changing the name, not the content
XaiaX
Maybe?
WamsyWoo
He doesn't have his shield in the trailer, he has 2 vibranium arm pads.
TheRabidOcelot
Maybe it's a hard light shield, doesn't he get one of those in some comic somewhere?
squindiggly
They used one on Agents of Shield so it's definitely possible
ak4ty7
"Somebody, get this man a shield" -BP
ShadowScorch
But didn't he give the shield back to Tony? He might still have it.
Dakralai
Yeah but he'll definitely be getting it back in one of the next avengers movies.
Durzaka
The next avengers movie IS Infinity War part 1. So, yeah.
Godsfireworks
It's technically a two part story. so, yeah.
StealinYurPopsicles
If Disney has the sheer balls I hope they do, Cap will die in Infinity War, beaten do death by Thanos. No stones used, no lasers fired. (1)
StealinYurPopsicles
He'll just simply, brutally, bludgeon the symbol of hope to dust. And the cherry on the depressing cake will be Steve falling before he (2)
StealinYurPopsicles
gets to even finish his line. "..I....can do....th-this....all....d-" *WHAM*

Why would Disney want to undermine one of their own characters?
PeterPorkedHer
You must not have seen what they did to Luke in TLJ
ThatSquirrelInTheCorner
If Cap doesn't die in Infinity War I will be disappointed. It will be a huge moment for the MCU
Corrodias
I infer you're talking about a movie, but do these movies not follow the comics, and isn't this a comic story already?
StanielRonathan
He probably will because Chris Evans is supposedly done with the part, like how RDJ is done being Stark. IW will likely be the vehicle to
StanielRonathan
remove all the characters whose actors aren't coming back- and that works because Thanos killed nearly every A-lister during Infinity War
StanielRonathan
I feel the need to be pedantic against myself since we're all talking about The Infinity Gauntlet storyline, Infinity War was a sequel event
numbonvalium
I am not excited about Infinity Wars, not like I was when Avengers was first announced. MCU and I guess Disney wont let the dread build,
numbonvalium
they wont risk their precious heroes disappear without recourse, they wont let Thanos ground down resistance. It will be light-hearted.
MandaloreTheDefiler
I had a DnD character that ended up being practically Captain America. He had a strange set of Morals, but god did he stand by them.
owlest
how did skinny rogers beat red skull? I think thats not very plausible
iHveNoCleverName
He touched his peck, laughed, and let out a beam of light
Decitron
ShrubNinja
As much as I 100% agree with what's being said here, I feel it was a poorly written scene. It sounds like a shower argument.
iHveNoCleverName
Yeah it seems there some context missing
Crowlands
This is the problem with some of the modern marvel stuff. It's focusing too much on a message. Even if you agree, it's still poor writing.
frogjg2003
#13 is Cap tell the crowd that it's not okay to beat up a Nazi just for saying Nazi things. Cap just stopped a Jew from attacking the 1/2
frogjg2003
Nazi. He's just finishing up lambasting the crowd. Immediately after this, he turns around and gives the Nazi a true verbal beatdown. 2/2
AroAce
What is really interesting is that even he says a flag is just a piece of cloth and that reminds of how people got angry when people 1/2
AroAce
burned that flag and people demanded that it should have been a crime to do that. 2/2
Hitsuzen9
You seem to like Captain America alot so if I may ask how did you feel about Secret Empire, I thought it was pretty bad, awesome post btw.
corvettee01
I don't follow it, but I was definitely not a fan of the "twist", especially when it was revealed his mom was actually a Hydra Agent too.
Hitsuzen9
Yeah I did either had a friend he did on principle and he was mighty passed about the whole mom think.
Hitsuzen9
Marvel exs: We will ignore the fact that cap being a member of hydra goes against everything he stands for goes those glorious sales sigh
Lilly64
See, I really like this Cap, while the one in the MCU drives me crazy with his moral absolutism. This one just feels better written over all
NERDRAGEohacat
To be fair, MCU Cap is the same Cap in #10. He wasn't that much of an ass in the other movies.
Lilly64
I think my problem is that in MCU Civil War, Cap's position is never questioned, never challenged. He's portrayed as being right by default
NERDRAGEohacat
I felt like the movie made Tony the rational guy and Cap unreasonably stubborn. Zemo even hints that's what he exploited to tear them apart.
Lilly64
I just feel more pressure should have been put on Cap. Because that movie was very critical of Tony, and doesn't make him look good
Mythaldin
In the movie Civil War, when Sharon Carter gives the speech at the funeral, it’s a direct call back to the speech cap gives in #10.
tx3x
that's because no man can make a positive speech without a woman speaking longer to explain it - or better yet, the woman makes the speech
iHveNoCleverName
Whole shit never realised that
KimBongChill
It's characters like Cap and Superman that really set comics above other forms of media to me. And it's horrible what Secret Empire and 1/2
KimBongChill
Injustice (& the DCEU) did to their characters respectively. 2/2
WHYDIDYOUSAYTHATNAME
DCEU Superman is what got me to pick up Superman comics. And after reading them, DCEU Superman is just comic book Supes in the real-world.
KimBongChill
I mostly meant BvS Superman and the Joss Whedon fucky Superman. I love Man of Steel, and the good parts of Justice League are fantastic.
andergriff
honestly injustice ruined superman for me for a long while.
StanielRonathan
To me, Injustice will always be just a bootleg of Kingdom Come that completely failed to get the message and point the story was making.
StanielRonathan
Fundamentally right out of the gate it was too focused on fanwanking over Batman to care about that.

Idiot. Anybody who believes Trump is a Manchurian candidate taking orders from Putin is a gullible fool, end of story.
dynamiteking
Yet not too busy to point fingers at guns instead of their users?
iHveNoCleverName
Its illogical to keep the same gun rules and expect different results. So something got to give either mental checks or the guns themselves
dynamiteking
Well by all accounts on the shootings, every kid was mentally disturbed and had access to keys and codes to open gun safes
