History

Quote1 I was going to make everything right. I even saw it, for a moment, the truth...the world that was. Restored. Renewed. It was beautiful. Quote2
Steve Rogers[src]

When Kobik, a sentient Cosmic Cube, attempted to have Steve Rogers become an agent of Hydra, she created an alternate timeline in which Rogers was proselytized into Hydra when he was a kid and subsequently had this Hydra Steve Rogers supplant the real one.[1][2]

In this new timeline, high-ranking Hydra member Elisa Sinclair forced Steve into joining Hydra when he was six years old in 1926.[3] When World War II broke out and Hydra allied themselves with Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party with the intention to manipulate them to their advantage,[4] Steve was sent to infiltrate the United States Army to kill Abraham Erskine, lead scientist of Project Rebirth. In a turn of events, Steve was chosen to became the test subject of Project Rebirth's Super-Soldier Serum, becoming Captain America. Steve remained loyal to Hydra and acted as a spy within the Allied forces.[5]

Ashomia from Secret Empire Vol 1 0 001

Rogers at Ashomia to protect him from the reality warp

Years into the war, the Allies focused on the creation of a Cosmic Cube with the intention to use it to win the war.[6] Nostradamus had predicted this. Rogers was summoned to the ancient city of Ashomia in Japan, where he encountered the Kraken, Nostradamus, and Hydra's father Sir Isaac Newton. Rogers was submerged into a special pool to be shielded from the imminent alteration of all of reality.[7]

Then, the world was changed into one where Hydra didn't win WWII, and Steve Rogers never served Hydra.[7] In truth, this is the way events naturally occured, until Kobik made it so it could be believed the timeline she fabricated, in which Captain America served Hydra, was the original.[1] Once the Hydra loyalist Rogers secretly resurfaced in the place of the real one,[8] he set out to use Kobik to reshape reality in Hydra's image and restore the world to how it was, or rather, how he thought it was. This plan suffered a major setback when the fragments of Kobik were scattered around the world.[9]

After collecting all but one of Kobik's fragments, Rogers obtained enough power to rewrite reality. As he changed the world to a continuation of his, Rogers caught a glimpse of how other historical events would have differed in his timeline. Steve was then tricked by Sam Wilson into bringing back Kobik, who proceeded to undo all changes in history, and brought back the real Captain America so he could defeat his fascist doppelganger.[1]
