Spoilers are ahead for “Ultimate Comics Ultimates” No. 15, on sale Wednesday, which features a new direction for Captain America in the Ultimate line of comics.

Marvel Comics has announced in a news release that Steve Rogers, the man known as Captain America, will become President Elect of the United States of America in the issue “Ultimate Comics Ultimates,” on sale Wednesday.  The issue is written by Sam Humphries and drawn by Billy Tan.

Here’s how Marvel describes the issue in a news release:

Captain America’s made his dramatic return and … saved America from an insidious new enemy in one of his most harrowing battles yet. But when all the dust settles, Steve Rogers is about to get the biggest surprise of his life—he’s won the special election for the Presidency via write-in! What does this mean for his future as Captain America? Can he be a President who fights on the frontlines?

“This is one of those stories that could only be told in the Ultimate Comics Universe, where the only rule is simple—there are no rules.” said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment, in a news release. “We’ve seen Captain America fight wars and battle super villains, but running a country is a whole new challenge—but don’t worry, this isn’t about political speeches and closed door meetings. This is exactly the kind of high-octane, super powered thrill ride you’d expect from a book called The Ultimates!”
