And it turns out, it hurt enough to turn Sharon Carter into, what exactly? A villain, antagonist, anti-hero? That’s what we discussed with VanCamp herself on an upcoming episode of Collider Ladies Night.ĭuring the interview, VanCamp explained she had the opportunity to read all six scripts and learn about the Power Broker reveal as it would play out in the show. wound up being mighty busy dealing with Thanos, but being completely forgotten like that after sacrificing everything for them has got to hurt - and now we know it did. She was able to find some sense of safety in Madripoor, but that meant having zero contact with friends and family, and being completely cut off from the life she had before. After going on the run for returning the shield to Captain America in Civil War, Sharon was essentially abandoned. However, as we find out in Falcon and Winter Soldier, giving everything she’s got to the government and Avengers came with consequences. Essentially? Sharon was team “good guy” through and through.
In Captain America: Civil War, she chose to do what she thought was right by helping Steve Rogers ( Chris Evans), even though her actions made her an enemy of the state. agent, wholly dedicated to fighting for good. While Sharon wouldn't come out from the cold with him, she does give him the chip and she and Cap salute each other as the issue ends.The Falcon and the Winter Soldierturned out to be the ultimate game-changer for Emily VanCamp’s Sharon Carter.

We learn that Sharon had spent some time on a Tap-Kawi prison camp after she was burned by S.H.I.E.L.D, and Cap helps free the prisoners and in the end. Cap shows up and stops the trade, but not because he actually thinks Sharon had betrayed him, but because he thinks she needs his help. In the final issue of the original Waid/Garney run, Captain America #354 (by Waid, Garney and Koblish), Sharon appears to be willing to share some intelligence she stole from Captain America - a microchip containing all of the information on Cap's mind - to the ruler of the small Asian nation of Tap-Kawi. Her time on the run has definitely left her jaded, just like the Sharon of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and she often mocks Cap for his dedication to the American flag, especially when he is branded a traitor and exiled from the United States (Sharon teams up with Cap to then clear his name). It seems likely, but we don't actually get confirmation until the storyline is over and a CBS news crew shows Cap footage they shot of the scene in Captain America #237, by Chris Claremont, McKenzie, Buscema and Perlin.Īfter both the Skull and Hitler were defeated, Sharon remained a recurring cast member in the Waid/Garney Captain America run. Sharon is with them, but we don't see if she actually was one of those who killed themselves. In #233 (by McKenzie, Buscema and Perlin), the neo-Nazis all kill themselves by setting themselves on fire. In the next issue (by McKenzie, Jim Shooter, Buscema and Perlin), we see Sharon fight against Cap now wearing a fiery swastika armband. liaison with the police and somehow was mind-controlled into following the neo-Nazis.
In 1979's Captain America #231 (by McKenzie, Sal Buscema and Don Perlin), we learn that Sharon attended a neo-Nazi rally as a S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Kirby left the book, the incoming writers also didn't bring Sharon Carter back, so Roger McKenzie presumably had the idea of just writing her out of the book, and, like how these things went back then, that typically meant killing her off. RELATED: Captain America: How One Theory Reshaped the Avenger's Villains There were no interactions with the rest of the Marvel Universe (no Avengers, no Nick Fury, nothing giving off the hint that it was part of a shared universe.) Kirby's Cap run was really like it existed in its own little Kirby-verse.

Sharon, you see, had already pretty much been written out of the series when Jack Kirby took over Captain America and basically wiped out everyone from the book's supporting cast outside of Cap and Falcon (and Falcon's longtime girlfriend, Leila Taylor). Sharon Carter's initial departure from Captain America's comic book had a lot in common with that sort of deal. Gail Simone reflected on it first with her Women in Refrigerators website (referencing Kyle Rayner's first girlfriend, who was murdered and stuffed into a refrigerator). One of the complaints that people often have about the fate of female supporting characters in comics is that so often, since the main superheroes are almost always men, then their love interests are typically women, and so since you can't kill off the main character, you instead inflict misery upon their love interests, meaning that women get a disproportionate amount of cruel endings in the comics.
