You have not only disappointed millions of fans, but Stan Lee himself.

The history is important. The canon is important. You can't just come up with an idea - you have to prove that it's relevant. That it can stand the judgement of millions of people who know the canon better than you do. That went out of the window. The respect for canonical accuracy is gone because of Nick Spencer. If we want our Marvel back, we need him gone, too.

Either the writer is grossly anti semitic or too ignorant of the history of the comics he is continuing to be trusted to further the story of these characters. Either way, it is grounds to fire him and replace him with someone capable of understanding basic back stories.

At what point does Nick Spencer go too far with partisan politics and propaganda instead of actual decent story?

I have been reading Marvel comics since the mid-80s. I grew up on them and Captain America was always a favorite. It breaks my heart that this is what Cap has come to and it breaks my heart that you would put a Holocaust survivor in an organization with heavy ties to white supremacy and Nazism. Shame on you, Marvel. No more. I will absolutely not support a company who disrespects my family--a family of Rroma survivors--with such blase and gleeful contempt. SHAME. ON. YOU.

This is wrong and is should not have to explain why. You just put a canonically jewish holocaust surviver into a nazi regime. you just put a person who was shaped into the person they were by there history with nazi's and has hated nazi's and everything they stand for their whole life a nazi. This not only unacceptable but it is insulting this is spiting in the faces of jewish people and i will not stand for the man who made this happen. He needs to be fired he needs to apologize and this atrocious thing they want to call a comic book needs to be recalled.

First he makes a character created by Jewish writers a Nazi now a Jewish Holocaust survivor is Hydra?! Stop with the antisemitism! Fire Nick Spencer!

This is unacceptable. This is like forcing someone traumatized to stay with their attacker. Oh wait, it's not 'like' it. It is. They pissed me off when they messed with Cap, but this? What's next? Are they going to say that all canonically gay characters technically don't exist because of some bulls*** 'alternate' timeline? Are they going to kill off America Chavez? White-wash the few well-known superheroes? NO MORE! Comics are a symbol of the time! A view into the culture that will one day be in the history books of others. I don't want other cultures, other generations, thinking we let writers obliviate Jewish struggles (or any religion/race) and send the poisonous assumption that there are no good heroes. Only villains. They need something to believe in. When people read comics they need to be able to find their history. Someone from their family. Someone who looks like them. Someone who went through what they did. Not the products made by a bigoted pen. You can change ink. You can't change the fact that people identified with Magneto. You can't change the fact that the Holocaust happened. You can refuse to tell people about it but there will be people who remember. There will be those of us who will tell stories of the real comics. What they used to be. We will remember the characters for who they were and what they meant to us. What they stood for. What they fought against. We will never forget.

It's messed up that a man who was terrorized by Nazis in the past become apart of a Nazi type organization.

At a time where antisemitism is making such a rise again, this storyline is downright despicable. Not that it wouldn't be already, but the timing makes it so much worse.

Nick Spencer has been blatantly disrespecting the characters he has been entrusted with and destroying the intents of their original creators. He needs to be stopped.

This is unfair to the readers and the character who's back story as a Jewish holocaust survivor shaped every aspect of who he is. His history shaped how he acted with people in his life including his best friend and daughter. His history also is where his powers first showed up and what led him to go further with them. This history is exactly why Erik never had peace. You can not ignore it or change it into something disgusting.
