One at the hands of the X-Men's Sentinels, another as a result of another Ultron, and finally a Thor-themed take on Ragnarok. Ulysses found himself pulling the heroes present into another shared vision - or visions - of possible futures in store for the Marvel Universe. With one devastating blow to Tony's hulking armor after another, the suit eventually gave way, shattering into pieces and sending Tony, unconscious, to the ground below.įrom that point on. The cover image of Issue #8's finale teased the fall of Iron Man, and in the issue itself, that exact outcome came to pass. Tony refused to let Spider out of his protection, and Carol saw it as yet another reason to fight Tony with everything she had, in the name of the future (and more than a little sick of his ego). And in Issue #7, Cap and Spidey arrived at the scene of the (future?) crime - with Captain Marvel and Iron Man close behind. But when one vision showed Spider-Man Miles Morales standing over the dead body of Captain America, the line in the sand was drawn.
Initially motivated by the death of his best friend, James "Rhodey" Rhodes in one of these anticipated battles, Tony came to embrace the science of the future visions, noting they were just a glimpse of the possible future. Even when those suspects shown to be terrorists in premonitions turned out to appear completely innocent, Carol wouldn't budge - and with every step, Tony Stark dug his heels in a bit farther.

Marvel had actually teased the outcome ahead of time, with Captain Marvel a.k.a. And with the final issue now released, detailing the climactic battle between Captain Marvel and Iron Man, we finally have our winner. Betrayals exposed, heroes killed by their former friends, and moral lines crossed in the name of safeguarding the future for (or from) Earth's citizens.
While the clash underpinning Marvel's current "Civil War II" hasn't received as much critical praise as its predecessor, there have still been plenty of shocking moments in the event so far. and the fallout stretched to the present day. In the end, Cap's morality meant he had no choice but to surrender to the will of the people. It was a clash that rent the entirety of the Marvel Universe in two, with heroes picking a side on the Superhero Registration, and plenty of villains being recruited to help bolster the ranks. The first time that "Civil War" came to the Marvel Universe, it did so anchored in timely, relevant social issues on the mind of most Americans: Tony Stark favoring national security over personal privacy, and Captain America standing up to defend civil liberties above all else.
