Oh man' date=' now I'm imagining Clea as a Miss Kitty-esque saloon girl and Wong as a Chinese immigrant railroad worker.[/quote']

 

I was thinking almost exactly the same thing! This could actually be a LOT of fun!

We need us, a Baron Mordo, either as evil land grabbing railroad man, or, man in black gun fighter come ta have words with Doc Strange outside the Co-ral. "Callin yew out Strange! *Spits out a streamer of tobacco juice* Git out from behind yer Chinaman 'n meet's me at Haaagh Noon Varmit!"

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_versions_of_Captain_America#What_If_Captain_America_lived_in_the_American_Civil_War.3F

 

What If Captain America lived in the American Civil War?

A What If comic was published starring Captain America, featuring a continuum where Captain America was made during the American Civil War. His name is still Steve Rogers.

Captain America is a corporal attached to a Northern force called the Redlegs, and led by Colonel Buck Barnes, called Bucky by his troops. Captain America's first mission was supposed to be against soldiers, but he was led against civilians, and refused to harm them. He hid in a barn, and got stabbed in the leg by Southern children with a pitch fork, but still refused to harm them. Bucky ordered him to execute the Southerners and he refused, trying to shoot Bucky unsuccessfully.

Bucky was about to kill Steve Rogers, but Rogers was saved by an eagle, who was shown watching the massacre earlier. Steve managed to get the children onto the colonel's horse, but got shot by Bucky before being dragged off by two runaway horses. While unconscious, Steve Rogers had a dream of We-pi-ahk the Eagle-Chief, he woke up to a black man, Private Wilson, in a Northern uniform, and was brought back to an Indian reserve. Steve Rogers seems to have given up on life after the massacre he saw, professing that "After what I saw today, I... I don't even care which side wins. Blue, Gray... It's all the same. We're all going to Hell by the time this is over." The doctor said he'd be dead by morning.

Wilson starts a ceremony with Steve because he was the man that We-pi-ahk led him to find, the one that would bring union to all people. During the ceremony Bucky comes to the reserve, and demands "the traitor," referring to Steve Rogers. The ceremony was to make Steve Rogers "as you are on the inside, so shall you become on the outside." Bucky kicked in the door at that moment, and saw We-pi-ahk, and became as he was on the inside as well. He now has nothing but a skull for a head.

Bucky ordered his men to open fire and kill everyone in the camp. Wilson rushed at Bucky, exclaiming him a murderer, and was shot quickly. It is hinted that all the Indians were massacred. A streaking light blew away a group of Redlegs, from an unknown source. There appeared Steve Rogers as Captain America.

Bucky attempted to shoot him, but his bullets were deflected by Captain America using his shield. Captain America said he felt no animosity towards Bucky, only pity. When he threw his shield to stop Bucky, it turned into a golden eagle spirit. While it did not seem to act upon its own will, it did fly back and perch on Captain America's arm, before turning back into the shield.

As a side effect of Captain America's involvement, the Civil War ended earlier than in our history, and Abraham Lincoln was never assassinated. He helped the South rebuild after the war, and suppressed the rise of the K.K.K. As a representative of the Indian people, he was able to prevent the Indian wars of 1870. Sadly, Buck Barnes, the White Skull, was not done, and reformed a group even more dangerous than the K.K.K. The descendants of both would continue fighting each other up to the present in this alternate universe.
