“What If Captain America Had Formed the Avengers?”

In *What If...? #29*, a chilling alternate timeline sees Steven Rogers rise to power as a fascist president, until the real Captain America is thawed from ice and must rally a new team of heroes to reclaim a nation gone dark. Written by George Caragonne and brought to life by Ron Wilson’s art, Ralph Cabrera’s inks, and Tom Vincent’s colors, this gripping story explores the cost of power and the enduring fight for freedom. The cover by Ron Wilson and Ralph Cabrera captures the weight of that moment—where heroism must rise again.
