Captain Hydra

TBF, it's a bold and unique idea, usually the bad guys are the ones changing History so the world fits their twisted ideology, and it's up to the good guys to restore the timeline to its rightful place. They totally hoped we'd go "how dare they cheat like that and brainwash a hero", only to teach us a lesson on how we determine what's right and if it's okay to destroy Time just because we don't like the way politics went.
But to use Cap for that, yeah, like JMM said, there's no way we'll see him as anything else than a monster that got tricked into thinking it was an ally by dirty cheaters. How do you even climb out of that pit to make Cap an actual hero again and forget that without an extreme cosmic cheat, Steve Rogers' natural life would have landed him a Nazi on the level of Red Skull. You bet they'll just go "eh, that's how bad one's upbringing can determine your fate !" and laugh it off as a big moral lesson. Especially considering that's pretty much the kind of story Captain America would want to show, "determining and doing what's right". It'll never be right again, no redemption story will change that.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.
