**Real World**
"Why?" Nick Fury mused after hearing Coulson's report. "Why is it just you and me?"
What was special about them that made this mysterious screen "target" them?
"We've dealt with stranger things before. I believe we'll figure it out," Coulson replied calmly.
"Anyone else able to see this screen?" Fury asked.
Coulson shook his head. "Not sure yet."
Fury nodded, understanding the situation. "Listen, there are two things I need you to do. Find out if anyone else can see this screen and... Captain America?"
Coulson, being Fury's trusted confidant, immediately grasped what Fury was getting at. "Consider it done. I'll get on it right away," Coulson replied, heading out.

**X-Men Universe**
Captain America? Neither Charles Xavier nor Hank McCoy had heard of such a person. But a man who could sleep for seventy years and still be alive was undoubtedly a mutant. Not only had he survived, but he also hadn't aged a day and still possessed extraordinary physical abilities.
More intriguing to Charles and Hank was the futuristic world shown in the video. The towering skyscrapers, flashing neon lights, billboards, and endless streams of vehicles exuded a strong "sci-fi" vibe. It seemed like a future world straight out of a movie.
Could this be the future? Hank wondered, pushing his glasses up. "Is this video showing us the future?"
Predicting the future? Could anyone really do that?
"I've never seen anyone capable of such a feat, at least not before now," Charles replied, shaking his head. But if the video wasn't showing the future, what was its purpose? If it was just a meaningless video, why were they chosen to see it?
Charles and Hank concluded that the video was more likely showing a potential future. This logical reasoning made their expressions turn serious.
"Hank, we need to find Captain America. We can't just leave him there," Hank said resolutely. Captain America's bravery and self-sacrifice resonated deeply with Hank, making it impossible for him to ignore.
Based on the video's content, Captain America was still underwater and wouldn't be found until the future.
"Hank, you know I'm not who I used to be," Charles shook his head, understanding Hank's intention. Hank wanted Charles to use Cerebro to locate Captain America, but Charles was no longer capable of using it. His mental state was in shambles, and even if he could, he wouldn't be willing to.

**The Boys Universe**
"Do any of you know who this guy is?" Billy Butcher asked, pointing at Captain America on the screen.
Frenchie and Hughie shook their heads. They didn't recognize him.
"He looks like a good guy," Hughie said, finding Captain America's appearance reassuring.
"All superheroes look like good guys," Butcher retorted. "Before A-Train turned your girlfriend into roadkill, he looked like a good guy too."
Butcher knew all too well what kind of scum superheroes really were, hiding their true selves behind carefully crafted public images.
"They're trying to make another Soldier Boy?" Frenchie joked. A shield-wielding, close-combat war hero? That sounded just like Soldier Boy.
In Frenchie's youth, Soldier Boy had been a huge icon, rivaling even Homelander.
Unfortunately, Soldier Boy supposedly died during a nuclear mission, making way for Homelander.
"No, he'll surpass Soldier Boy," Butcher said. "He looks like the perfect hero—brave, honest, just. Most people would see him as a true hero just by looking at his face. This actor is spot-on. And 'Captain America'? What a name! It's bloody brilliant. If Vought pushes him, he'll be bigger than Homelander."
