Civil War II one of the most controversial - and hated - storylines in recent Marvel history. 1 / 8

The story focuses on Ulysses Cain, a young Inhuman apparently able to tell the future, who becomes the center of a conflict between Captain Marvel and Iron Man. 2 / 8

After losing She-Hulk and War Machine in a battle with Thanos, Captain Marvel is determined to use Cain's visions to stop tragedy before it happens. 3 / 8

Meanwhile, Iron Man is the advocate of free will, and indeed, discovers Cain's visions are based on probability, not prophecy. 4 / 8

This does little to dissuade Captain Marvel, resulting in all-out war between the two. 5 / 8

Much like Civil War before it, Civil War II reduces its characters to viewpoints, making the storyline feel very heavy-handed. 6 / 8

To make matters worse, the plot is also very heavy-handed, like how it dispatches War Machine in the first act in order to spur Captain Marvel into being Iron Man's antagonist. 7 / 8

Despite giving Carol Danvers a starring role, the story arc does her little favors, given how antagonistic her character appears. Thus, it's no wonder it is one of the most hated crossovers. 8 / 8
