Avengers Civil War

"I admit it. This war is my doing. The Avengers destroyed my home. They stole my family from me. So what better revenge than to have them fight each other, and tear themselves apart?"

- Helmut Zemo

The Avengers Civil War was a conflict between members of the Avengers based on their differing opinions toward the Sokovia Accords. The whole conflict was secretly masterminded and manipulated by Helmut Zemo in order to exact revenge for his family due to the Avengers' role in the destruction of Sokovia.

Attack on the IFID Headquarters


"This is for dropping half a building on my face!"

- Crossbones to Captain America

Sokovia Accords


"You operated with unlimited power and no supervision; that's something the world can no longer tolerate."

- Thaddeus Ross to the Avengers

Bombing of the Vienna International Centre


"Don't worry Ms. Romanoff, I will kill him myself."

- T'Challa to Natasha Romanoff

Hunt for the Winter Soldier
"I didn't kill your father." "Then why did you run?"

- Bucky Barnes and Black Panther

As the news broke that the one who crafted the terrorist attack was Winter Soldier, T'Challa put on the Panther Habit in order to avenge his father's death. He managed to track Winter Soldier to Bucharest, where he fiercely hunted Barnes down to a traffic tunnel, battling Captain America and Falcon as well. He proved to be a real match for all of them, but eventually was stopped by War Machine and an entire police squad, to which he revealed himself. The police apprehended Barnes, Rogers and Wilson, who were fugitives due to the Sokovia Accords and brought them to Berlin, where Barnes was locked up in a maximum security prison of the German anti-terror police force GSG9. T'Challa was also brought in, and was kept in an office.

Clash of the Avengers


"You chose the wrong side."

- Iron Man to Captain America

Helmut Zemo's Success


"I've lost everyone. And so will you."

- Helmut Zemo to Captain America

Aftermath
"Your friend and my father, they were both victims. If I can help one of them find peace..." "You know if they find out he's here, they'll come for him." "Let them try."

- T'Challa and Steve Rogers

Picking Up the Pieces
At the Avengers' Base, Tony helps Rhodes to be able to walk again, in the same time he received a package from the mailman, who mistakenly misreads Tony's last name as "Stank". When opening the package, he learned that the package contains a cell phone and a letter from Steve Rogers, apologizing for keeping the truth about Stark's parents from him and telling Tony that, if he needs Steve's help in private, he and the rest of the team are just a phone call away. By the time Steve's imprisoned Avengers team are escaped from the Raft by Steve, and Ross calls Stark to get some help from preventing Steve's Avengers from escaping, Tony turned off Ross' call to cover his activities by pretending to be busy on something else, letting Steve and his Avengers team escape successfully.

Steve Rogers helped his imprisoned comrades escape from the Raft, and took Bucky Barnes to Wakanda, where King T'Challa granted him asylum and promised to watch over him as he remained in cryogenical statis until a cure for his brainwashing can be found.
