Steve Rogers has, for almost 80 years, stood as the longest-serving hero in the Marvel universe (in terms of publication), carrying the company through the Golden Age of Comics, before returning to help usher in Marvel’s resurgence in the 1960’s, to his modern adventures and popular adaptation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Which… makes it all the more strange that at one point in the character’s history, Steve Rogers almost found himself on a new battlefield, fighting strange new foes in the form of the DC Universe. I’m aware of how crazy and far-fetched that sounds, but during Marvel’s darkest moments, the possibility of Captain America being sold away to their biggest competitors was actually real, and in this video, we’re going to discuss the factors that led up to this deal ever being put on the table, and how its refusal by Marvel boss Martin Goodman, may have saved the company altogether.
