Summary
- Steve Rogers becomes the cosmic Captain Universe in epic fanart and trades his legendary shield for a real galaxy.
- Captain Universe played an important role in the comic book prequel
Secret Wars
. - Giving Captain America this cosmic upgrade is the perfect way to bring Chris Evans back to the MCU.
Steve Rogers’ Captain America is an iconic hero who always finds a way to win, no matter how powerful his enemies are. How invincible would the ultimate super soldier be if he had the powers of Captain Universe? Fans don’t have to imagine the answer, as Captain America trades his shield for an entire galaxy.
Stunning fanart from creator Bosslogic shows Captain America gaining cosmic powers as the new Captain Universe, with his iconic “A” replaced with a “U” but his chest star remaining intact and now part of the Captain Universe constellation logo. The coolest detail is that Steve Rogers’ shield is replaced with a swirling galaxy crackling with cosmic power.
The image will certainly get fans thinking about the potential for a Captain Universe in the MCU and Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers becoming the intergalactic hero. The title of Captain Universe is traditionally passed from person to person, making them a god-like being regardless of their previous power. It would be a great way to bring Evans’ “Old Man Steve” back into the fight for the multiverse – especially because Captain Universe played a significant role in the lead-up to the comic Secret Wars.
Since Captain Universe’s power is based on the use of cosmic energy, Steve Rogers’ advanced age would not be a problem in the MCU…
Marvel should seriously consider the cosmic return of Chris Evans
In Marvel lore, Captain Universe is the combined product of a mortal host and the cosmic Enigma Force – an energy being that embodies the primal essence of life and light. Captain Universe’s role is to protect all of reality, and he often chooses hosts suitable for a particular crisisIn fact, the Enigma Force has in the past transformed heroes such as Spider-Man, Hulk, Deadpool and Venom into their latest Captain Universe. During the Avengers’ “Time Runs Out” era (leading up to the 2015 Secret Wars Event), waitress Tamara Devoux became Captain Universe and worked with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to prevent the collapse of the multiverse.
Captain Universe is also the equal and opposite force to Knull, the God of Symbiotes, also known as the fearsome King in Black. With a Secret Wars Film on the horizon in 2027, and Knull’s existence in film history established in Thor: Love and ThunderCaptain Universe would fit perfectly into upcoming MCU projects as the entire universe is under attack due to Incursion events.
In
Thor: Love and Thunder
Gorr wields a mysterious sword that he took from a fallen god. In the comics, that god was the exhausted Knull and the sword was one of his most powerful symbiotes.
Marvel introduced Captain Universe earlier than “The hero you could be” because the Enigma Force can transform anyone into one of Marvel’s most powerful heroes. Since his power comes from the use of cosmic energy, Steve Rogers’ advanced age would not be a problem in the MCUand his wisdom and desire to fight for what is right would make him an ideal Captain Universe. While Chris Evans’ character had a great farewell in Avengers: Endgamethe return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU as Doctor Doom shows that anything can happen, and Captain UniverseLink to Secret Wars offers an incredibly tempting opportunity Captain America a final lap of honour in the film universe.
