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

The series is set in an [[AlternateUniverse/MarvelUniverse alternate universe]] where ComicBook/PeggyCarter became a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII superhero, taking the super-soldier role normally occupied by ComicBook/CaptainAmerica (Steve Rogers).

Although this [[ComicBook/Exiles2018 isn’t the first comic series]] to imagine a world where Carter takes Rogers’ place in some way, the series was announced not long after the Disney+ series ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What if…?]]'' episode "What If… Captain Carter Were the First Avenger?" introduced a Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse version of the concept, and it follows some aspects of that story.

The first issue was released March 9 2022.

* MythologyGag: The first issue shows Peggy in a red jacket, standing out in a crowd of grey, echoing the red hat crowd scenes in ''Series/AgentCarter''.

* PredecessorVillain: Baron Von Strucker and Zeno are initially positioned this way. The modern Hydra is continuing their war and using Zemo's technology for weapons.

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Peggy's shield, as you might expect. Batroc initially thinks she's thrown it away in response to his challenge. Then it hits him in the back of the head.

* WriterOnBoard: Carter's version of the UK reflects a lot of the nation's real 2022 political challenges, including nationalistic nostalgia, the 'hostile environment' for asylum seekers and the UK's post-Brexit approach to international cooperation and world politics. Jamie [=McKelvie=] has been outspoken about much of this on social media, and the alternate world setting gives it a little distance from real events.

** More broadly, the post-war end of the British Empire is handled this way, with references to Operation Legacy, the Windrush and the Partition of India all airbrushed out. The narrative is that the Empire benevolently granted independence to the colonies. As Harley points out, the reality is more complicated.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The alternate Britain has a few elements that mirror the real one.
** This version of S.T.R.I.K.E. split from S.H.I.E.L.D., ostensibly to allow the UK government to make its own decisions and reduce red tape. In practice, it's making it much harder for them to work with foreign intelligence agencies. Brexit is never directly mentioned, but it's very familiar language.
** Legal routes to seek asylum are obstructed and the law is changed to allow internment and deportation of any asylum seeker who uses other routes. Which is, arguably, a ''barely'' fictionalised version of the real 2022 UK government policy.

* AliensImCardiff: Batroc in Immingham, a rather small [[UsefulNotes/TheMidlands Lincolnshire]] town.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The electronics shop seen in the second issue is part of Stark Industries.
