Who Is Peggy Carter?
In comic books, Peggy Carter is the love object of Captain America. First published in 1966 in Tales of Suspense #75, she was created by iconic duo Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and now serves alongside Captain America on various missions.
As a teenager, she joined the French Resistance where she became a skilled fighter, which later proved to be a necessary skill for her. Peggy is one of Captain America’s most prominent love interests, and she stands out because of her independence. After Captain America is thought to be dead (but in reality sunk in suspended animation), she lives a quiet life for many years.
Peggy Carter is now one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the movies and also one of the most important agents of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) during and after World War II. In 1943, Peggy assisted Steve Rogers in becoming the world’s first superhero – Captain America, after his super-serum transformation.
Who Is Her Husband?
In the comic books, Peggy Carter is never officially married. However, in the plot of House of M, which features an alternate reality created by Scarlett Witch, Captain America is never frozen in the Arctic, so he married Peggy shortly after the end of World War II.
In the film, Peggy marries a nameless man and has two children with him after Steve is frozen in the semi-trailer and is thought to be dead. No information was given about her husband, except that Captain America saved his life during the war.
