steven grant rogers // captain hydra
"hail hydra. for order, for strength, for peace-whatever it takes."

once, he was america's greatest soldier - 
a man out of time who stood for freedom, 
compassion, and unyielding hope. but the 
cosmic cube's distortion of reality reshaped 
steve rogers into something else entirely: 
a believer in hydra's vision. in this rewritten 
world, hydra nurtured him from childhood, 
shaping his ideals, convincing him that 
chaos was humanity's true enemy - 
and that control was mercy.

now, captain hydra stands at the forefront 
of a new world order. draped in a darkened
 uniform that blends the iconography of hydra
 and the stars and stripes, he commands armies
 with the same authority he once used to rally 
heroes. his shield bears the serpent's insignia 
- a symbol of twisted patriotism and corrupted loyalty.

he still speaks of peace and unity, but his version is 
absolute. his hydra is not born of hate - it is born 
of order. to him, hydra's dominance is not tyranny, 
but salvation. and in that conviction lies the tragedy: 
a man who truly believes he is saving the world, 
even as he destroys it. cut off one head, two shall
takes its place.
