Who carries Captain America’s legacy in the year 2099? Meet Roberta Mendez, a future Captain America whose origin involves a forced transformation, a divided identity, and a struggle against corporate control.

Introduced in Secret Wars 2099 (2015), Roberta did not volunteer to become a superhero. Her husband forced her to take a version of the Super-Soldier Serum, turning her into Captain America for Alchemax, a powerful corporation in Marvel’s future world.

Brainwashing separated her civilian identity from her Captain America persona, leaving Roberta unaware of her heroic alter ego. But her story does not end with obedience: she eventually rebels against her corporate masters. Her adventures also connect her with Miguel O’Hara, better known as Spider-Man 2099.
