- Peggy Carter drives up to Natasha Romanoff, who is running around the reflecting pool at the Washington Monument. Romanoff remarks that Carter should join her, but Carter refuses, saying that running in circles is not her style. Romanoff jumps in upon Carter saying that Nick Fury has a mission for them.[5][2]
- Captain Carter briefs S.H.I.E.L.D.'s STRIKE team about the Lemurian Star, which had been taken by twenty pirates led by Georges Batroc. STRIKE is ordered to gear up, and Romanoff asks Carter if she is available to go on a date with Bernard, and Carter opens the door to the plane. Romanoff teases her about her feelings for Steve Rogers, and the pair exchange glances before Carter jumps out of the plane.[5][7]
- Hijacking and Retaking of the Lemurian Star: Carter boards the Lemurian Star and incapacitates one of the hijackers and fights others, drawing Batroc's attention. Batroc aims his gun at her, and Carter readies her shield. Batroc mocks her, saying that she is supposed to be more than a shield, putting down his gun. Carter puts down her shield and the pair engage in a fist fight. However, Carter becomes distracted as she notices The Watcher appear. She asks Batroc if he sees the Watcher, who tells Carter that she has been chosen for a mission and removes her from the universe.[5][7]
- Hijacking and Retaking of the Lemurian Star:
- Captain Carter is returned the the exact moment she was taken from and gets punched by Batroc, who brags about his speed. Romanoff shocks him, causing him to faint. Carter happily embraces Romanoff, as Romanoff asks if she is okay. Romanoff says that she will need to have a clear head for what Romanoff found.[5][7]
- Romanoff takes Carter to show her a discovery within the Lemurian Star's cargo haul, a frozen HYDRA Stomper Armor: Mark II, with someone still inside.[7] Before Carter can comprehend, the HYDRA Stomper turns on and shoots at the duo as they lunge back, leading Romanoff to believe it is not Rogers in the suit. They then escape as the Stomper continues to fire at them. They run to the deck and watch as the assasilant flies up into the air and then back towards them. Carter throws her shield, hitting the armor and causing the mask to fly open. Carter watches as a bearded Rogers looks her in the eye as he flies past.[5][2]
- Rogers then flies up towards the Moon, where he gets enough space away. He then launches many missiles at the Lemurian Star, destroying it as Carter and Romanoff jump into the water, where they are later rescued.[5][2]
2nd[]
- At the Triskelion, Captain Carter has an angry argument with Nick Fury regarding Steve Rogers' whereabouts. Fury confirms that for all they know, Rogers died taking down HYDRA bases. However, he does admit that there have been rumors of HYDRA Stomper since the 1960s.[5][2]
- Carter gets angry that she was not debriefed, but Fury says that they did not debrief her on Big Foot either, confusing Carter. Fury tells her that HYDRA Stomper is responsible for horrific acts of terrorism and deaths, including S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.[5][2]
- Carter claims Rogers would never do such a thing, but Natasha Romanoff speaks up, saying that he would if he was being mind controlled by the Red Room. Carter then got sad, realizing Romanoff knew and did not tell her. Romanoff said she did not want to break Carter's heart a second time.[5][2]
- Fury tells Carter that they have intel on Rogers' next mission due to the Hijacking and Retaking of the Lemurian Star, so Carter starts ordering a team. Fury tells Carter to sit this out, but she refuses.[5][2]
- Secretary of State Bucky Barnes talks to the World Security Council about a Sokovian aid package. Barnes refuses to let it through unless it covers hospitals, schools and new roads because he does not want Sokovia torn apart by a civil war.[5][2]
- Attack on Bucky Barnes:
- Suddenly, STRIKE charges into the office. Brock Rumlow tells Barnes there is an attempt on his life. Barnes claims he can take care of himself. Suddenly, HYDRA Stomper arrives outside of the window, armed and ready. STRIKE covers Barnes as Rogers shoots. Carter suddenly arrives and blocks the bullets with her shield as Barnes escapes.[5][2]
- Meanwhile, Fury orders jets in the sky and Romanoff asks if he wants to use lethal force. Fury says that Rogers is a terrorist trying to take the life of a US official, so do what she thinks is right, hinting to allow killing. Carter meets Barnes on the stairs and tells him it is Rogers. They talk and Barnes says the new red power source is a mix of plutonium and pomade. This delights Carter as she realizes she could break it.[5][2]
- Rogers then breaks into the stairwell and flies to Barnes. Carter jumps towards Rogers and the two fight in the air. They break through into the main lobby, where Carter loses her grip and flies off of Rogers. Rogers then flies back to Barnes. Romanoff and a team of Quinjets attack Rogers in the air, so Rogers punches a Quinjet out of the sky, causing it to fly towards Barnes, forcing them off of the roof.[5][2]
- HYDRA Stomper comes face to face with STRIKE in the hallway. Romanoff and her Quinjet approach at the window, ready to fire. Suddenly, Barnes stands up in the way of Romanoff and tells everyone that Rogers would do the same for him. He then tries to get through to Rogers and talk him down. This works for a second as Rogers lowers his weapons, only to put them back up again.[5][2]
- This buys Carter time to get back to the floor level and hit the Stomper away. They engage in hand to hand combat until Rogers finds it too much and flies to the sky with Carter on his back. While they continue to fight, Stomper shoots Carter, causing her to fly off. However, Carter throws her shield, knowing Rogers unconscious. The two fly through the air as Carter tries to get Rogers to wake up. Suddenly, Romanoff arrives and catches the two in her Quinjet before taking off. Barnes watches and wishes Carter luck while Carter thanks Romanoff.[5][2]
- Romanoff, Carter and Rogers arrive at a lighthouse in Outer Hebrides, Scotland. They do testing on the unconscious Rogers and find out the suit is preserving his age and keeping him alive. Additionally, the odds of survival plummets with every time her was deployed. Romanoff suggests getting help from Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, but Carter refuses. She decides that they will go to the Red Room instead.[5][2]
- Romanoff says that the Red Room's location is secret. Suddenly, Rogers wakes up and speaks, saying he could take them. Romanoff points her weapon, only to realize that Rogers has his mind back. Carter and Rogers embrace each other.[5][2]
3rd[]
- HYDRA Stomper flies while Captain Carter and Black Widow use the Quinjet until they get to a KGB Sokovian Base. The trio walk through the base, which looks like an American town. Rogers says that he notified the Red Room that he malfunctioned and needs help, so they have time to spare. At a gazebo, Rogers tells Carter that the suit was always in control, so he would be watching himself do things he could not control. They then talk about the modern times that they both found themselves in.[5][2]
- Rogers admits that he always went into war because it made him forget Carter was gone and that she is the reason he never started a family. They then go to kiss but are interrupted by a Black Widow's Bite.[5][2]
- Destruction of the Red Room:
- Rogers and Carter look up to find all of the animatronics now displayed in front of them. They then unveil guns. Carter, Rogers, and Romanoff pummel through the robots, who shoot bites at them. Suddenly, Rogers' suit turns off. Romanoff soon succombs to the bites as Carter runs after Rogers. However, she meets the same fate, passing out.[5][2]
- Romanoff and Carter recover and look up to find the Red Room Academy looming above them. They are then greeted by Melina Vostokoff and her Black Widows. Vostokoff then activates Rogers, who tells her that the mission was successful and points his weapons at Carter.[5][2]
- Vostokoff reveals that Rogers was never rebooted and the mission was never to assassinate Bucky Barnes, but rather to lure Carter away. She then reveals her iron suit and tells HYDRA Stomper to attack. Carter tries to talk Rogers down while the Widows open fire on Romanoff.[5][2]
- Romanoff is chased through the village while Carter fights Rogers on a water tower. Rogers shoots the support beams, sending the tower toppling over. Carter jumps off just before impact with the ground. Romanoff and Carter then hide, using the rubble as cover. The Red Room searches the surrounding area until Carter approaches HYDRA Stomper from behind. The Widows opens fire on everything but is unsuccessful. They then break into a house, but are ambushed by Romanoff.[5][2]
- Carter is soon overpowered as Rogers throws many cars at her. Romanoff is in the same shape as the Widows start beating her. Vostokoff instructs the Widows in many attacks as well. Luckily, Romanoff jumps at a Widow's Bite arm and uses the stingers on her assailants. Seeing this, Vostokoff gets mad and punches Romanoff.[5][2]
- As Vostokoff easily beats Romanoff, Rogers causes a car to explode in front of Carter and then unleashes his bullets. Carter manages to inch closer to Rogers and removes his mask. She then says she is done fighting, throwing down her shield. Meanwhile, Vostokoff defeats Romanoff and starts strangling her. Rogers stands down when he hears Carter say she wants to be with him. He then looks up at the academy, realizing what he must do.[5][2]
- Despite Carter's pleas, Rogers starts flying towards the Red Room to destroy it. Seeing this, Romanoff attaches a grappling hook to both Vostokoff and Rogers, allowing him to drag Vostokoff up as well. As Vostokoff pleads for Rogers to stop, he opens fire on the Red Room and flies into it, causing its destruction. Carter grabs Romanoff and they run for cover as The Watcher looks on.[5][2]
7th[]
- At Avengers Tower, Peggy Carter unlocks Tony Stark's car. Natasha Romanoff approaches, asking if Stark knows about this. Carter says she wants to take a drive. Romanoff does not believe this, saying that she knows Carter is going to try and find Steve Rogers, believing he is alive. Romanoff decides to join her. Suddenly, the ground lights up red as a portal appears, sucking Carter into another universe as Romanoff watches, shocking even The Watcher. Romanoff calls out for Carter.[8][2]
8th[]
- Having been returned to her universe, Captain Carter is contacted by the The Watcher and sees that he is with the Hero of the Multiverse. Carter throws her shield to the hero and is impressed when they catch it. Carter invites the hero to protect the Multiverse with her.[9][10]

- â In What If... Captain Carter Fought the HYDRA Stomper?, Melina Vostokoff tells Natasha Romanoff that her room was turned into a gym. This is said on March 3, 2014 (see other references), and would have occurred after Romanoff left the Red Room on January 1, 2008 (see Before 2010s/Super Soldier Peggy Carter references). This can be approximated to the midpoint of these two dates, January 31, 2011.

Therefore, events which are meant to parallel those in the main universe, such as Carter's arrival (which parallels Steve Rogers being unfrozen), the Battle of New York, and the Hijacking and Retaking of the Lemurian Star, can be taken to have happened at the same time in the Super Soldier Peggy Carter universe.
