Captain America fans and Marvel Legends collectors can look forward to a version of the character getting the ML treatment by Hasbro - as the Secret Empire era Cap aka “Hydra Cap” now has a 6” figure being previewed in the In Demand Toys 20th Anniversary Celebration!
As reported by ItsDanWho and MarvelousNews, this Hydra Cap will be a Walmart exclusive - and comes with the new costume and shield he wore first in the “Steve Rogers: Captain America” series that ran during Secret Empire.
After recently releasing a trailer that detailed the new Hydra status quo of one reinvigorated yet tainted Steve Rogers, Marvel Comics has released an image of what appears to be their next big event storyline called "Secret Empire" - which puts Captain America in the middle of things as in the current "Captain America: Steve Rogers" comic book - he is an Agent of HYDRA who is manipulating things from behind the scenes and is working to a big endgame. Reported by Bleeding Cool, it's still up in the air as to how this event will play out in the bigger Marvel Universe, but as CBR points out the term "Secret Empire" also harkens to a division of HYDRA that has existed in stories before... And this new division could be Hydra Cap's own brainchild to put his plans in motion.
No release date has been given for Secret Empire, but expect it sometime in 2017 for sure.
2016 has certainly left a lot of shockers and unexpected things in its wake... And one of those in the popculture and comic scene was the big switcheroo that happened in the pages of the new series "Captain America: Steve Rogers" - which puts the newly restored Steve Rogers back in the uniform and wielding a new shield, but also with the revelation that he is an agent of Hydra. Anyone who follows the Nick Spencer and Jesus Saiz series knows that this was due to the machinations of the Red Skull - who manipulated the sentient Cosmic Cube entity known as Kobik to restore Rogers but also implant new memories of his past being laced with a history of being raised by the evil organization he fought since World War II.
