* ContinuitySnarl:
** A mild one. The Red Skull has broken with Hitler in the movies and formed a third faction in World War II. Here, he's shown to be a member of the Nazis still. The game appears to be set in the midst of the events of ''The First Avenger'', after the breakout of Bucky and the formation of the Invaders but prior to the events of the film's climax. Hydra has yet to completely split from the Nazis, as they do later in the film.
** The events of the game cannot be canon with the MCU proper, which has since introduced drastically different versions of Baron von Strucker, Baron Zemo, and Madame Hydra. It is possible that the figures in the game are previous holders of the titles related by blood or that the modern versions have simply chosen to follow in the footsteps of their forebears.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The game sets up a number of plot points related to ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' without meaning to. First Zola is able to synthesize the Super Soldier Serum from Rogers' blood. This explains how he's able to treat Barnes with his own version of the Super Soldier Serum which allows Barnes to go toe to toe with Rogers in the second film. Second, the helicopters that Hydra uses at the end of the game are reminiscent of the Quinjets Shield uses. They can both hover in a stationary position and their primary armament is a minigun supplemented with rockets, which hints at how Hydra infiltrates Shield over time. Finally, Zola's plan to use Falsworth as a brainwashed weapon against the allies is exactly what he ends up doing to Barnes's character. Using him as a weapon in the service of Hydra. Also Zola in the games has started to experiment with technology that allows him to transfer his mind into machines. Something that he does successfully 40 years later at Camp Leheigh.

* AffablyEvil/ FauxAffablyEvil: Arnim Zola starts off sounding civil-sounding, even ordering Madame Hydra to stop slapping Captain America and [[WeCanRuleTogether how they should work together, since while Zola aspires to reach greatness, Cap himself embodies it]]. As Zola's plans slowly go to waste, he [[DissonantSerenity maintains the same civil tone while also threatening to transform Falsworth into a super soldier after draining Cap's blood]]. Funnily enough, this is alongside the fact that Zola becomes more of an EvilutionaryBiologist once he begins possessing his robot bodies.

A 2011 video game adaptation based off the Marvel Studios film ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger''. It takes place during the film, expanding on the adventures of Captain America against HYDRA. The gameplay is deliberately styled after ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum''. Despite this (or, possibly, because of it), the game is generally decent, with most of the fun relying on the fact that you play as the shield-slinging Captain.
