Hehe, he even has a Hydra tattoo.

Now I wanna see Bucky be the one who helps restore's Cap's memories, in the same way that Steve did to free Barnes from the Winter Soldier programming.

It's washable!

I knew Kubic screwed him over especially when I saw Red Skull impersonating as a priest in the Pleasant Hill arc. However it kind of diminishes him as I would think not even a cosmic cube could manipulate his memories unless it just altered his past making him born in a different country but even then I would think he would eventually fight for truth justice and the American way or am I just overestimating his core moral strength as no one is immune to cosmic entities screwing you up.

It's a cosmic f*cking cube. ANYONE would be susceptible to it. And I'm sure the whole point of this story will be that he "eventually fights for truth, justice and the American way."

Even so, given what we went through with Spider-Man a couple years ago with Superior, I can understand what Captain America fans must be going through. These kinds of character study mega arcs can really get to be annoying to have to sit through. Here's hoping that there's at least some kind of satisfying conclusion once everything is said and done and the smoke clears.

The cosmic cube has altered events of the past, not just Cap's memories. Somebody will have to correct those changes to fully "fix" him. A cosmic cube can do pretty much anything the user wants it to.
Before the Infinity Gems were invented, it was the most powerful thing in the MU. Thanos used one when he first took over the universe.

How he would hide that from anybody, especially his girlfriend Sharon, is beyond me.

Dressed sex.

Maybe he should have refused her offer to make him young again as such miraculous wish fulfillment always have their own monkey paw ramifications to consider. He perhaps should have accepted his death although at crossbones hands rather than trust such a deluded powerful cosmic entity although if Crossbones was working for Red Skull then the plan must have been to just give him a debilitating beating which would perhaps make him take her up on her offer as Steve generally had made peace with his condition having led a long and eventful life fighting the good fight. Maybe there was a psychological moment where he had weakened not just physically but mentally also due to the being near death experience and it allowed the cube to manipulate him and his mind. By the way the serum had been expurged before but he had not been transformed into a old man so why did it happen this time other than plot requirements?

I think Bucky will be involved, but I believe this will be Sam's test as Captain America.

Wait the article was saying that the Red Skull used the Cube to manipulate his mind implanting false memories and not altered his past ala professor zoom or am I missing something?

Anyone who's been following Marvel comics wouldn't be surprised by this, especially if they've followed Cap in the past few months. There's no way Cap would have been evil unless he was altered. Even a casual fan could have guessed that the cosmic cube was involved. That's why I found the outrage with last issue's reveal so annoying. It was all coming from non-fans who just wanted to be angry at Marvel for something.
