On Wednesday, news broke that Captain America -- in the comics, not the films -- is secretly a Nazi, working undercover for the organization Hydra in Captain America: Steve Rogers No. 1.
Even Chris Evans, who plays Cap in the Marvel films, was surprised to learn of the twist on his comic-based character.
Naturally, fans aren't pleased with this sudden turn of events for a beloved superhero (now super-villain, I guess) who's been around for 75 years. They took to Twitter to vent their frustrations, and while many reactions are downright hilarious, others view the change as a huge slap in the face to the Jewish creators who crafted the character in response to the atrocities happening during World War II.

Hello Darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains within the sound of silence
