Captain America keeps finding new ways to break our hearts this summer.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Captain America: Steve Rogers #5 and Civil War II #5!
Steve Rogers is continuing his descent into villainy following the reveal that he's secretly been a Hydra agent his whole life. Since that initial twist, we've seen Steve apparently murder Baron Zemo and the Red Ghost and plot to overthrow his new master, the Red Skull. What is a Star-Spangled Avenger to do for an encore? What about killing the Hulk?

Today's new issue tied more directly into the events of Civil War II. Fearful that the Inhuman Ulysses might use his powers to predict Hydra's actions, Cap initially tried to murder Ulysses in his sleep. But he quickly decided that it would be easier to simply ensure that Earth's Mightiest heroes are too busy fighting each other to notice Hydra. This issue shows Cap repeatedly stoking the fires of war, including mailing a letter to Bruce Banner that reignited his interest in gamma radiation and led to Banner's death in Civil War II #3. That's right, Cap is indirectly responsible for the death of the Hulk.
However, Steve was in for a few surprises himself. Red Skull now views Ulysses as a valuable tool for Hydra and ordered his new servant to bring the Inhuman into Hydra custody by any means necessary. But that may be easier said than done thanks to the events of Civil War II #5. This issue wrapped with another glimpse of Ulysses' vision about Spider-Man killing Captain America. Is this more evidence that Miles may attack Cap after learning about his connection to Hydra?
We'll find out just how low Cap can sink when Captain America: Steve Rogers #6 hits stores on October 26.
