Captain America's God's Destined Fate
Recent revelations that have rocked the Marvel Universe have exposed Captain America's destiny as something far more grand than even his most ardent supporters could have dreamed. Steve Rogers has been assigned as a "Change Agent," a cosmic being entrusted with leading humanity towards a future beyond war and death, transcending mere soldier fighting for freedom.
Captain America's Change Agent Function
Writer J. Michael Straczynski's continuing Captain America series debuted the idea of Change Agents. Lyra (Life) selected these people to be absolutely essential in determining the direction of the universe. Their goal is to fight the powers of Death, which aims to prolong a cycle of devastation and inertia.
Captain America's path as a Change Agent has been defined by his relentless dedication to serve what is right. Lyra has given him responsibility; he has actively sought out other Change Agents and brought them together under a shared cause. Under the approaching threat of Death, his leadership and commitment have been quite helpful.
Captain America's Legacy: Front Door
Captain America's most recent issue, #11, offers a startling insight on Steve Rogers' final fate. Lyra tells him he is meant to inherit "The Front Door," a metaphysical safe haven outside the domain of war and death, upon death. For Captain America, this marks a metamorphosis from a mortal soldier to a divine guardian guiding humanity toward a better future.
The Significance of The Front Door
After their earthly path, The Front Door offers a haven where souls may find freedom and peace. It represents a world of pure possibilities where the knowledge gained in life may be carried forward into a fresh life. Captain America will be instrumental in bringing mankind into a world of transcendence as steward of The Front Door.
The Divine Protector Legacy of Captain America
This insight gives Captain America's character still another level of complexity and significance. He is a divine guardian guiding mankind toward a future outside of Death, not just a soldier battling for freedom. His legacy will be woven not only in the chronicles of history but also in the fabric of the cosmos itself. Captain America's reputation as a symbol of hope and resiliency is further enhanced by this divine appointment; he is a lighthouse pointing humanity toward a better future.
