However, these strong morals have brought Captain America into opposition with other members of the Avengers. His strong beliefs butt heads with those of other superheroes, which has caused moments of tension and conflict. This has even led to blows between Captain America and others, as they have clashed due to beliefs and personal moral codes. This has shown that while it can be good to have a strong moral code to stand by, sometimes that code can cause friction with others who also strongly believe in an ideal of their own.
These are 4 examples of moments in Marvel lore where Captain America has had to take a stand… against his fellow Avengers.
4) Operation: Galactic Storm
The “Operation: Galactic Storm” storyline sees the Avengers intervene in an intergalactic war between the Kree and Shi’ar empires. In the aftermath of the war, Captain America is disappointed in his teammates and the Avengers team concept as a whole. This fallout creates a schism between Captain America and Iron Man, with the latter leaving to start his own group. This is a good example of Captain America giving orders and having them disobeyed, leading to conflict between Cap and the rest of the team.
3) Standing Against Marvel’s Illuminati
The Illuminati was a secret group that included a number of the Avengers, such as Iron Man and Captain America. The group operated as a sort of inner-circle group that made a lot of decisions behind the scenes, including the building of a doomsday machine. However, that decision rubbed Captain America the wrong way, as he felt that the conversation would shift from whether they should build it to whether or not they should use it. This brings Steve Rogers into opposition with the rest of the Illuminati, who take action against him. The group kicks Captain America out and wipes his memory of their existence, showing what happens when one causes friction within the cabal.
