Some thought that, in light of Captain America being revealed as a sleeper agent of the Nazi-associated Hydra, that this was a little insensitive.
@Marvel You spat on veterans (incl Jack Kirby) everywhere when you made him a Nazi. Nope.

@Marvel Wrong move Marvel. Don't make Cap a member of HYDRA and then stick him on a memorial post. #disappointed

@Marvel Do you remember that Steve Rogers is a NAZI right now?

@Marvel gee marvel this would mean a lot more if u weren't actively publishing a plot arc where cap is a literal nazi

@Marvel maybe put falcon here seing as hes not currently in hydra and was in the milatary and is also CAP

@Marvel I almost felt a surge of nerdy patriotism…then remembered that Steve is a Nazi (until better writers retcon it). pic.twitter.com/x3rK7lkmMm

@Marvel The soldiers who died defending the values of peace & democracy are not represented by a manipulative, power crazed super Nazi. Remove this

@Marvel I love you guys but this isn't smart at the moment imo.

And on and on and on. Suggesting Sam Wilson was a popular solution. But some had other thoughts.
@Marvel Seriously, has The Hulk ever been Hydra? Maybe it's time for the…
