The festivities are short-lived, once the heroes start asking exactly how the Inhumans knew that the Destroyer would appear without warning. Once the opening battle of 'Civil War II' was concluded quickly and concisely - basically every Marvel hero united against a Celestial Destroyer - the victorious celebrated in the only way they know how: a party at Stark Tower.

And as it turns out, Cap's strike was a lot closer to happening then 'Civil War 2' readers ever realized. The idea of Cap wearing a disguise when making his final strike is brushed aside quickly, and the only real move forward is to shut down HYDRA operations until Ulysses is dealt with. well, an unnecessary risk when you're deceiving most of Marvel's heroes and superteams. Issue #5 shows Steve and Selvig dealing with the emergence of the Inhuman Ulysses, since a boy who receives visions of upcoming attacks, betrayals or murders is.

Later issues showed him working with Selvig, consciously or subconsciously pursuing his own mission. Erik Selvig in 'Captain America: Steve Rogers' #1 - uttering the infamous 'Hail HYDRA' - he showed that he was much more than a puppet for Red Skull. It could be forgiven, since Steve plays an admittedly small role in the 'Civil War II' plot (it really is a battle between Iron Man and Captain Marvel).

Readers may have been caught up in all the hero-on-hero arguing of 'Civil War II' to remind themselves that the Steve Rogers in the heroes' midst is up to a secret mission of his own. Civil War's Cap is Still Working For HYDRA But now that 'Captain America: Steve Rogers' #5 has arrived, readers finally know just how instrumental Steve has been in the events - and how one of the devastating deaths was a direct result of his own plotting and betrayal. We've already gone into detail on exactly how and why Steve Rogers became a HYDRA operative, and how the Cosmic Cube that brought Thanos to Earth - and kicked off 'Civil War II' - is the same one responsible for the hero's current state.

But those assuming the twist wasn't a total blaspheming of the character turned out to be right, with it all revealed to be part of Red Skull's larger plan to rewrite Captain America's own history. With 'Captain America: Steve Rogers' #1 revealing Cap to be a secret agent of HYDRA, fans were shocked, outraged, and infuriated (and some got creative with the twist).
