6) Nieces Of Dead Old Flames Aren’t Off-Limits To Steve Rogers
There was something quite sweet about the thawed, 21st century Steve Rogers holding out for old flame Peggy Carter, despite the fact that by Winter Soldier she was 96-years-old and in the throes of dementia. Steve refused to even consider any other woman until Peggy died, which indeed she finally does in Civil War. At that point though, according to Cap, anybody’s fair game, even if the first woman he sets his eyes on is Emily VanCamp’s Agent 13, aka Sharon Carter, aka Peggy’s actual niece.
Yep, Steve Rogers breaks his 70 year dry run by getting it on with an immediate relation of the woman he loved for decades, and he makes it so much worse by first making eyes with Sharon at Peggy’s funeral! The set-up suggests Cap and Sharon Carter will continue a romance on down the line. Still, no one in history has moved on that quickly, and even fewer decided to do it at the wake of their former love interest.
