==Characters==
=== Main Characters ===
* Samuel "Sam" Rogers/The Captain - the son of Captain America and Black Widow. A member of the Marine Corps turned MMA fighter, Sam was inspired to become a hero similar to his parents, wielding his father's old energy shield. However, his parents' identities and his status as leader of the Avengers has put a lot of pressure on his shoulders as well as painting a target on his back. Despite the negatives, he is determined to make the world a better place. His biology combines both of his parent's versions of the Super-Soldier Serum, granting him increased speed, strength, agility, and senses. He was named in honor of his father's friend, Sam Wilson.
* Clover Rogers/Bucky - a fourteen-year-old girl who is Sam's long-lost sister, also born of Captain America and Black Widow. Her mother was killed by the Red Room, with her being taken by them. Steve hunted for her but could never find her, and she was raised in secret by the Red Room to become the newest member of the Black Widow Program. However, she used her training to escape at only ten and has been on the run from them ever since before being found and taken in by Sam as his partner.
=== Supporting Characters ===
* Steven "Steve" Rogers - the father of Sam and Alex who currently resides in his own superhero retirement home called the House of Ideas. He is depressed due to the loss of two lovers in his past, but still does his best to keep optimistic and light-hearted. Despite his old age, he is still a threat with all of his powers and training before retirement.
=== Villains ===
* The Skull - an enigmatic self-proclaimed supervillain and terrorist whose true identity is unknown. He is a younger man, around Sam's age, who wears a metal mask that resembles a skull and is obsessed with the supervillains of old and hopes to recapture the anarchy they wreaked. He models himself after the Red Skull, who was the primary contributor to his ideology that all people are evil by nature and thus evil must be nourished rather than fought/suppressed. He is a scientific genius, a master marksman, and due to chemicals in his blood is nigh-unkillable, regenerating from almost anything.
* The Secret Empire - a terrorist group formed from what used to be Hydra. Unlike Hydra, the Secret Empire has beneficial goals, wanting to conquer the world under the belief that they will make it a better place.
**Alexander "Alex" Rogers/Number One - Sam's half-brother, born to Sharon Carter and Cap, who took over Hydra and reinvented it. He was kidnapped as a baby and his parents were told he was stillborn, which led to the death of his parents' relationship. He has a complicated relationship with Sam, as both of them are constantly trying to convince the other to join their side and both refuse to kill the other. He is a master martial artist, a strategic genius, and an expert in several forms of science.
**Vanessa Cartright/Serpent Queen - a high-ranking member of the Secret Empire who often works with Number One, though she is secretly plotting to overthrow him. She is a sadist and a sociopath who is fascinated by snakes, also being able to telepathically control them. Unlike her appearance in Avengers of Tomorrow, her personality incorporates dominatrix-type elements and she is physically attracted to both of the Rogers brothers.
**Isaac Queen/Winter Soldier - a friend of Sam's and a former member of the Marine Corps, stationed alongside both Sam and the hero Iron Sentinel. Becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent afterwards, he became a close ally to Sam but was eventually kidnapped and brainwashed by Number One, turning him into an elite agent sent out on dangerous missions. He was named "Winter Soldier" as a tongue-in-cheek reference to his origin, as both he and the original Winter Soldier were soldiers who were brainwashed.
* Hans Zemo - the son of Baron Zemo and Ophelia Sarkissian who trained for years on end to one day take back Hydra. Due to a combination of his father's constant humiliation by Steve and his parents being murdered by Number One, he has a burning hatred for Captain America and his lineage, swearing to wipe both him and any trace of him off the map. After his parents' deaths, he was taken in by Hydra's greatest scientist Arnim Zola and taught in several forms of combat as well as the sciences.
**Jane Rumlow/Hellhound - the daughter of Sin and Crossbones as well as the rightful heir of Hydra. She is a woman scorned, constantly filled with rage by her legacy being taken away from her by Number One. She is a frequent henchman of Hans' in addition to his occasional lover. The two plan on restoring Hydra and ruling it together.
