Warning: contains spoilers for Captain Carter #2!

While to one side of the political isle or the other). In Captain Carter #2, the titular hero tackles an issue Steve Rogers could not: the UK's policies of immigration.

Peggy Carter's success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a character encouraged Marvel to use her elsewhere on numerous occasions. The character headlined her own TV series Agent Carter, and followed up with a starring role in the animated series Marvel's What If...? on Disney+. Finally, the world of the comics has included her in the ending to Avengers Forever and her own series Captain Carter, in which Peggy largely replaces Captain America as a super-soldier in World War II who was frozen in ice and discovered and thawed out in the present day.

After being revived in the modern era (and being told by the Prime Minster that she's sorely needed as a symbol of British might), Peggy Carter spends her time taking down Hydra cells and other terrorists. When she rescues a shipping container full of people from terrorists, she believes she's saved them. Unfortunately, the next day, her neighbor tells her the truth: the vast majority of those refugees will be deported.

Captain Carter works in the UK

The only way for refugees to enter the UK is through legal means. "Except there are no legal means. Not any that work...but you can't claim asylum unless you're in the country. You see the problem" says Peggy's neighbor. She's incensed and rightfully so; Peggy Carter clearly had no idea of the aftermath of her own actions. This closely mirrors the rocky UK immigration situation, which - thanks to the proximity to Europe - is quite different than that of the United States.

Immigration is an important topic to discuss in comics, and Peggy Carter brings a new point of view to the problem. Captain America, while certainly ive of refugees, doesn't understand the situation in the UK as easily as he does the one in the USA. Captain America, despite Marvel's best efforts, simply cannot be the hero for every country on the planet - but Captain Carter can certainly be one for the UK.
