What what if Captain America was actually... a Skrull?
Now, before everyone jumps all over this as to why this couldn't be possible (since he didn't actually turn into a Skrull when he died). Who is to say that he actually died on the steps of the courthouse?
What this was... basically an elaborate ruse formulated by the Skrulls, forcing hero to take up side against hero, and then weakening the position of those self-same heroes... because they are divided, and not a unified front against the Skrull menace.
What does this mean?
Iron-Man = Skrull
Cap = Skrull
Two key cogs in the machine, and friends take up sides against one another... but they are actually "dopplegangers" (a.k.a. Skrulls), with nobody is the wiser... until it's too late!!!
Doesn't anyone find it amazing that someone who survived all the perils of WWII, numerous attacks from "uber-powerful" supervillians of every make, model, and description was finally done in by... an assassin?
Far too convienient for me!!!
