Is That You, Nick Spencer?

There’s no time machine involved dumbass.

Yeah, the term comes from the supervillain group called the Secret Empire, you stupid idiot.

The one problem with your scenario is the fact that that Kobik changed history and Steve was with HYDRA since he was a child. You also seem unaware that in the comics, Bucky only met Steve when Steve was already Cap, he never met pre serum Steve.

Wow, someone really didn’t like my idea for how to redeem Steve Rogers. If this was twitter, I’d be absolutely sure this was Nick Spencer, but I’ll have to remain in a state of wonder, you incredibly polite anon.

1. I know there’s no time machine involved in the Red Skull’s plot. But there’s plenty of time machines in the Marvel Universe that could be used to bring back the real Steve Rogers – I just used Beast’s because of the link to All-New X-Men, and because the FF are busy rebuilding the multiverse.  
2. I’ve written about the Secret Empire, I know who they are. But if you  don’t understand who Jack Kirby was referring to when he created an evil organization of people who all wear hoods and robes and want to overthrow the U.S government, and why Englehart making Richard Nixon their leader was a big deal, you need to do some reading up on the Klan. 
3. Leaving aside the way that Nick Spencer has played fast-and-loose with whether it’s history or his memories that have been changed, so what? Cap’s still been pretending not to be a Nazi, so that’s the Cap Bucky knows and loves. Or hell, it can be a Bucky from an alternate universe – this is comics, there’s always a way to write around.
