7. Dimension Z

Dimension X

After years of stories which placed Captain America in espionage-like scenarios, writer Rick Remender decided to shake things up a little by putting Steve Rogers in some unfamiliar surroundings. Transported to the mysterious Dimension Z, Cap would find himself trapped in the villainous Arnim Zola’s artificially created world for TWELVE years. During that time, the Avenger raised the villain’s infant son as his own, creating a steadfast bond between the two.

With no way of contacting home, Steve was forced to forge a new life in the harsh environment, facing off on a frequent basis against Zola’s mutate army and even being possessed by him at one point! He eventually found his way home, but not before facing some terrible tragedies and losses. It would make for a unique movie, although with Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy, do Marvel need even more sci-fi movies?
