Knowing that Tony would’ve wanted him to be happy, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, decides to retire and live a life with Peggy Carter in one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s alternate realities. All seems to go well for him, given that he shows up as an old man to give Sam Wilson the shield. However, the rumored teaser for Avengers: Doomsday is changing the narrative a bit, revealing that Cap has one final battle in him. And he apparently won’t just be fighting for his allies and the multiverse, but also for his child back home. Here are all of Steve’s kids in the Marvel Universe, ranked by their likelihood of appearing in Doomsday.
6) Red Skull
The MCU borrows a lot of elements from the Ultimate Universe, but the way it handles Steve’s son probably isn’t one of them. After coming out of the ice in modern day, Steve learns that his girlfriend had a son that the government tried to turn into the next super soldier. The plan failed, with the child murdering many people and becoming the Red Skull. The Avengers face off against the villain, who dies during the conflict. While the MCU never shies away from a tragic story, the franchise has done its own take on the Cap and Red Skull rivalry.
5) Sarah Rogers
Just like the Marvel Studios show What If…?, the comic book series of the same name offers the chance to tell exciting stories that wouldn’t work in any of the main realities. For example, in one issue, Rogue and Cap have a daughter named Sarah Rogers, who chooses the superhero name “Crusader.” She takes after her parents and stands up against evil, including Doctor Doom’s son, Vincent von Doom. As cool as it would be to get some Rogue action in the MCU, Sarah probably doesn’t fit what the MCU is looking to do in Doomsday.
4) Ellie Rogers
Before knowing that being with Peggy again is an option, Steve has a fling with her niece, Sharon Carter. It doesn’t work out for several reasons, but the comic version of Steve doesn’t give up so easily. The Hail Hydra comic, as a tie-in to the 2015 Secret Wars event, introduces Ellie Rogers, a member of the resistance who fights back against the titular organization. She teams up with Nomad, Armin Zola’s “son,” to make the world a better place. Ellie clearly has Steve’s passion for justice, but she’s not the best fit for the MCU.
