The author of Marvel’s new Captain America comic, Nick Spencer, has been sent death threats on twitter, after revealing that Steve Rogers is in fact a Hydra Agent.
The hashtag #SayNoToHYDRACap started trending after the news was revealed that in the latest comic, Captain America: Steve Rogers #1, Cap has been a villain all along, pretending to be good.
Fans were not happy and expressed their anger at writer Spencer, tweeting him with their wish for him to die:

i have passion for how much i hate what you've done
75 years of a character that you've just defaced, it's repulsive

Spencer then did seem to have some regret over his decision, as he replied to Chris Evans’ tweet:

However, it is only the first issue of the comic series, and it may turn out that Captain America is not actually a Hydra Agent. Let’s hope that is the case for Spencer’s sake!
