History ComicBook / CaptainCarter

* CaptainPatriotic: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Prime Minister Harry who wants Peggy to be Britain's "greatest hero" in which Harry complains that nearly all the superheroes are [[{{Main/Eagleland}} American]] and that having her in Britain's hour of need would signal the nation's return to global significance.

* CyanidePill: The Hydra assassin takes one after the attack on the bus, preventing Peggy from interrogating him.

''Captain Carter'' is a limited series from Creator/MarvelComics, written by Creator/JamieMcKelvie (who also contributes the cover art) and illustrated by Marika Cresta.

* ComicBookTime: Downplayed, as the montage of present day newspaper stories opening the second issue are clearly dated April and May 2022, but captions within the story itself are more generic.

* AlternateUniverse: The story is, at least initially, set in one. The Prime Minister offhandedly mentions a Fantastic ''Five'' instead of Four. It is not set in the ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' series' universe either, as she goes from WWII to modern day as a HumanPopsicle (just as regular Captain America) and not by crossing an interdimensional portal.

* ComtinuityNod: The newspaper montage opening the second issue includes a "Carter Vexes Vixen" headline. Vixen was a recurring villain in the Marvel UK ''ComicBook/CaptainBritain'' stories.

* AlternateUniverse: The story is, at least initially, set in one. The Prime Minister offhandedly mentions a Fantastic ''Five'' instead of Four. It is not set on the ''WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021'' series' universe either, as she goes from WWII to modern day as a HumanPopsicle (just as regular Captain America) and not by crossing an interdimensional portal.

* AlternateUniverse: The story is, at least initially, set in one. The Prime Minister offhandedly mentions a Fantastic ''Five'' instead of Four.

* CompoundInterestTimeTravelGambit: It’s the popsicle variant rather than time travel, and it’s not intentional, but Peggy wakes up to find her bank balance is looking pretty good.

* CaptainPatriotic: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Prime Minister Harry who wants Peggy to be Britain's "greatest hero" in which Harry complains that nearly all the superheroes are [[{{Main/Eagleland}} American]] and that having her in Britain's need would signal the nation's return to global significance.

* AlternateUniverse: The story is, at least initially, set in one.

* CyanidePill: The Hydra assassin takes one after the attack on the bus.

* AlternativeSelfNameChange: A minor one for a supporting character. Lizzie Braddock rather than [[Characters/MarvelComicsPsylocke Betsy Braddock]].
