Cosmic cube shenanigans. That Cap was real, but brainwashed on a reality altering level by Red Skull. It is, with absolutely no social commentary whatsoever, a fictional and idealized version of Captain America created whole from a Cube from Sam’s image of Rogers that beats Hydra Cap but at the moment the “real” Steve Rogers is still a Super-Nazi.
I think. Comics are quite silly.
Edit:. Goddamn it I hate multiverse fuckery, apparently that’s all wrong and he’s not a brainwashed version anymore but a Rogers from a timeline the Cube created where he got groomed into Hydra. And now it was the real/Earth-616 Rogers that Sam brought back? Because no one likes America being criticised as turning into a fascist state, lol.
Comics are dumb and written by cowards this is why no one likes the multiverse.
I believe this was later shown to be undercover work, wasn’t it?
Yeah, it was that, or fake cap, or timey wimey stuff, can’t recall. I just recall all the memes it spawned.
