* SmurfetteBreakout: Few were expecting ComicBook/PeggyCarter to be the surprise star of ''Captain America: The First Avengers'', especially since her character in the comics is at best an important footnote and DoomedByCanon to die of Alzheimer's. But Creator/HayleyAtwell's strong depiction of Peggy's independence even in TheFourties coupled with great chemistry with Chris Evans left fans clamoring for more of her, resulting in her getting her own TV show, of all things.

* WarHero: Steve is set up as a PropagandaHero by the US goveernment, but he becomes an actual war hero after liberating 400 [=POWs=] from a Hydra facility, for which he receives the Medal of Valor.

to:

* VillainRevealsTheSecret:
** In ''The Winter Soldier'', Armin Zola gleefully admits that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by HYDRA, all to rub it in Captain America's face seventy years after they first met. [[TakingYouWithMe This also serves to distract him and Black Widow from a HYDRA missile that is intended to take out everyone present]].
** In ''Civil War'', after striking a truce after a misunderstanding, Iron Man, Captain America, and Bucky work together to stop Helmut Zemo from releasing the other Winter Soldiers. But when they get to the room, Zemo reveals that he never intended to release the soldiers and killed them all. His ''real'' plan was to get them in the same room together so he can show them a footage of Bucky killing Stark's parents in 1991. Rogers is forced to reveal to Stark that he knew about his parents' death and kept it a secret, which results in Tony trying to kill Bucky and a near-lethal fight between Cap and Iron Man. The end result is the Avengers being disbanded, [[Film/AvengersEndgame seemingly]] for good.

* AirborneAircraftCarrier:
** ''Captain America: The First Avenger'' features an odd example with the Valkyrie, a massive airplane with rear facing propellers on its wings built by the Red Skull and HYDRA. It turns out that each "propeller" is actually a detachable mini-fighter plane, with either jet engines or rockets keeping it aloft. Based on real-life designs, however -- see below.
** ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'', shows that S.H.I.E.L.D. is trying to extend its reach by launching three new helicarriers that Tony Stark fitted with his repulsor technology after his experiences in ''The Avengers''. But [[spoiler:it turns out HYDRA designed them to eliminate all possible dissidents and the Cap had to destroy them.]]
* AnachronisticClue:
** Late in ''Captain America: The First Avenger'', Steve awakens in an unfamiliar room and hears a nearby radio playing the broadcast of a baseball game. A young woman in 1940s period clothing enters the room, and he demands answers from her, informing her that it can't be 1945 since the game on the radio was played in 1941 [[spoiler:and he knows this because he attended that game]].
** In ''Captain America: The Winter Soldier'', when Natasha and Steve are investigating the old SHIELD computer room, Natasha sees the modern USB hub amidst computer equipment that appears to be from the 1980s and earlier.
