Bullet mark on a turning point in Marvel history

What if... and the question continues to sprawl and spread like the matter gone after an explosion. Take one point in the history of Marvel Comics and twist it a bit at the back. What happens if Steve Rogers never gets the juice from the super soldier serum?

World War II. America needs a super soldier. Only one man possesses the formula to create the perfect fighting machine from volunteer Steve Rogers.

But when a deadly bullet kills Dr. Erskine along with his bodyguard, MP Ben Parker, Steve's destiny -- and that of the Marvel Universe -- is changed forever.

Writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Tommy Lee Edwards with a tale in five parts.
