Marvel’s What If? 205 What if Captain Carter Fought The Hydra Stomper? Synopsis
Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige
Head Writer: A.C. Bradley
Episode Written by: A.C. Bradley
Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews
Following a mission to retake the Lemurian Star, Captain Peggy Carter and Natasha Romanoff find a still-alive Steve Rogers inside the Hydra Stomper armor. Rogers attacks them both before destroying the vessel.
A briefing with Nick Fury leads Romanoff to deduce that Rogers, who went missing in 1953, was brainwashed by agents of the Red Room. Carter and Romanoff help Brock Rumlow protect Bucky Barnes, who is Rogers’ next target, before incapacitating Rogers and traveling to a secret hideout in Scotland.
Attempts to reboot the suit fail as it is keeping Rogers alive, though each activation reduces chances of survival. Rogers then offers to help Carter take down the Red Room in hopes of finding a cure before escorting her and Romanoff to a former KGB test site. The three survive an ambush by various automated drones before Rogers’ brainwashing is reactivated by Melina Vostokoff, who admits to staging the earlier events.
Carter battles Rogers while Romanoff fends off Vostokoff’s Black Widows. After Carter pleads with him to stop fighting, Rogers flies towards the Red Room and destroys it in spite of her protests. Noticing Rogers move, Romanoff fires her grappling hook to latch onto him and ties it to Vostokoff, who dies in the explosion.
Sometime later, Carter, convinced Rogers is still alive, decides to find him. As she bids Romanoff farewell, a portal opens beneath Carter’s feet and transports her to another universe, where she encounters medieval-era variants of Fury and Wanda Maximoff.
