Where the guide talks about them (7)
Rogers is initially used as a propaganda mascot. He goes rogue to rescue captured soldiers — including his childhood friend Bucky Barnes — and becomes an actual field commander, leading the Howling Commandos against HYDRA alongside Peggy Carter and Howard Stark, who builds his vibranium shield.
- Steve Rogers — will wake in 2011 and lead the Avengers
- Bucky Barnes — is not dead. HYDRA finds him
- Peggy Carter — founds S.H.I.E.L.D. and lives a full life; Rogers's unresolved grief over her drives his final choice in Endgame
- Howard Stark — co-founds S.H.I.E.L.D.; father of Tony
- Arnim Zola — HYDRA scientist, captured, and quietly allowed to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. This is a catastrophe nobody notices for seventy years
Steve Rogers returns the Stones to their original moments — and then stays in the past, living a full life with Peggy Carter, returning as an old man to hand the shield to Sam Wilson.
Sharon Carter is Peggy Carter's great-niece, a S.H.I.E.L.D./CIA agent introduced in The Winter Soldier. She helped Rogers in Civil War by stealing his shield back and was branded a traitor for it. She fled to Madripoor and became the Power Broker — the criminal figure the whole show has been chasing. In the finale she's pardoned and reinstated at the CIA, with full access, which nobody knows to be alarmed about.
Strange takes America to Earth-838, where he meets the Illuminati: Mordo, Peggy Carter as Captain Carter, Blackagar Boltagon (Black Bolt), Maria Rambeau as Captain Marvel, Reed Richards (John Krasinski), and Professor Charles Xavier — Patrick Stewart, in the animated-series wheelchair. Wanda kills all of them.
Worth watching for enjoyment rather than homework: S1E1 (Peggy Carter as Captain Carter, who appears in Multiverse of Madness), S1E3 (a murder mystery among the Avengers), and S1E5 (zombies, which became the Marvel Zombies series).
