We got a good look at Team Cap yesterday, but now Iron Man has made his Captain America:Civil War lineup official. Iron Man’s crew has one less Avenger than Captain America’s team, which includes Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Winter Soldier, Scarlet Witch, and The Falcon. Tony Stark has recruited Black Widow, Black Panther, War Machine, and The Vision over to his side.
Black Widow
Natasha Romanoff
Black Widow does not age, and heals exponentially faster than the average human. Her unmatched agility and fighting tactics make her an expert martial artist and a force to be reckoned with. She’s an ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. spy with an on-again-off-again relationship with Hawkeye, which makes it hard to understand why the two will be working on opposite sides in Civil War.
Black Panther
T’Challa
Fan-favorite, Black Panther, is a genius innovator and physicist. Like Black Widow, he is an expert martial artist with superhuman traits like strength, speed, stamina, agility and healing. As the ruler of the technologically inclined African nation, Wakanda, he has access to an array of magical artifacts and advanced weaponry. Wakanda is one of the only places to find Vibranium, the precious impenetrable metal Cap’s shield is made of.
War Machine
James Rupert "Rhodey" Rhodes
As Tony Stark’s best friend, it’s only right War Machine is on Team Iron Man. Not to mention, he may be the only one that can stand Stark’s antics. Both the Iron Man and War Machine suits have the same capabilities, which would make a battle between the two superheroes completely even. However, Rhodes’ military background would give him a slight advantage: he’s an expert pilot, martial artist and marksman.
Vision
Victor Shade
Vision is a synthetic being made of Vibranium. Originally created by Ultron, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner embedded JARVIS code in his mind to give him personality and human traits. Vision’s body absorbs solar energy only to discharge that same energy via laser beams and infrared electromagnetic radiation. Because of his makeup, he can manipulate his density and phase through inanimate objects like The Flash, which also allows him to fly! He can also increase his density which gives him increased durability and superhuman strength. Vision is an artificial life form, and in the comics, he can also shapeshift and time travel.
Marvel’s Official Synopsis:
‘Captain America: Civil War’ finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
