Not YMMV. Must be definitely intentional.


* TakeThatCritics: The Bombshells' over-the-top "social justice warrior" actions ''could'' be construed as a jab at those who considered the "Captain Hydra" plot twist to be in poor taste. On the other hand, it's more likely the issue is simply an attempt at political balance.


* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: Extreme right-wing conservatives, especially those who espouse racist or xenophobic opinions, and Wall Street. This isn't exactly new for a Captain America book, but Spencer's run has the themes be a lot less subtle, with the speeches of the supervillains sounding more and more like ''actual'' speeches from politicians. With that said, far-left wing progressives not necessarily exempt from scrutiny either as seen in ''Captain America: Sam Wilson'' #17. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on the reader's perception]].

** IronWoobie: Rage. The young man goes through ''so much'' trying to stand up for what's right. He even becomes a symbol for many, especially those in Marvel Universe's African American community -- including Rayshaun Lucas, the soon-to-be new Patriot. Even in spite of his trademark [[AngryBlackMan Rage]], Elvin actually remains consistently stoic and tempered in his anger, even facing his eventual arrest and trial (for a crime he was not guilty of) with a level of resolute maturity that is both belies his age and past actions and is entirely humbling, even to Sam who's desperately trying to provide the evidence of his innocence. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he ends up getting convicted and thrown in prison, before getting mauled by a prison mob and ending the series in a coma...]]
