“The Future”

About this Collection

This collection presents the first issue of Marvel's limited series exploring an alternate history where a Black man is subjected to the super-soldier experiments that created Captain America. Written by Robert Morales with art by Kyle Baker, the story examines themes of racism and patriotism through a gritty, revisionist lens. It serves as a standalone opening chapter to the controversial and acclaimed miniseries.

In "The Future," Faith Bradley shares the painful truth about her brother Isaiah’s ordeal with Captain America—how, despite his heroic mission and escape, he was imprisoned for 17 years at Leavenworth after being falsely accused of stealing the Captain America uniform. Now living in a child-like state due to the serum’s effects and years of abuse, Isaiah remains a quiet testament to a legacy built on sacrifice and injustice. Written by Robert Morales and illustrated in bold, expressive style by Kyle Baker—whose work defines the cover and interior—this powerful issue deepens the emotional weight of a story that refuses to let the past fade.

Faith Bradley tells Captain America that despite Isaiah Bradley's successful mission and escape from enemy lines, he was convicted of stealing the Captain America uniform and spent 17 years in solitary confinement at Leavenworth. He yet lives, but the combined effect of harsh treatment and the experimental super soldier serum have left him in a child-like mental state. Captain America expresses his grief for what the family has suffered (unbeknownst to him, but putatively in his name), and returns the uniform to Isaiah Bradley.
