Notes:

After declaring "Hail Hydra!" in Captain America: Steve Rogers #1, issue #2 detailed how this Steve was different from the original Steve Rogers.

"Evil Steve" was killed by Alexa Lukin and Selene in Captain America (8th series) #8. However, he was later brought back by M.O.D.O.K. and Doctor Stasis to impersonate Captain Krakoa for an Orchis false-flag operation. He was first seen alive again in Free Comic Book Day 2023: Avengers/X-Men, and his identity was revealed in Uncanny Avengers (4th series) #4.

In Uncanny Avengers (4th series) #5, "Stevil" renounced his first name and began referring to himself as Grant Rogers, referencing a previously debunked middle name for Steve Rogers. In Captain America (1st series) #225, Cap uncovered buried memories about his past and origins leading up to Project: Rebirth, including his full name of "Steven Grant Rogers". However, many of these memories were at odds with previous Cap stories, and so issue #247 walked back these revelations, retconning them as the result of a false memory chamber that implanted Cap with a false history in case he was ever captured by the Nazis. Cap specifically recalled that he had no middle name after this.

Alternate Versions:

CAPTAIN AMERICA.
