“The unique stories and styles of each Marvel game provide an opportunity for every title to introduce a boldly imaginative version of the legendary Super Soldier,” said Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games Creative Director. “Because our partners enjoy the freedom to craft different storylines for players, fans will see how each game’s new version of Captain America is sharply distinct from one another but still completely authentic to the ‘Living Legend’ we all know and love.”
In order to earn the new versions of Captain America, players will need to battle through limited-time events in each game. Details on these alternate Captain Americas are provided below, and image of them can be found in our gallery at the bottom of the page.
