# Captain America Civil War 4 Pane Captain America Vs Iron Man Captain America Civil War 4-Pane is a vertical four-panel image macro that lifts a quarrel scene between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark from 2012's The Avengers and repurposes it as a fill-in-the-blank template for fandom rivalries and hot takes. The comic first surfaced on Tumblr and 4chan in mid-January 2015, months after Marvel announced the Captain America: Civil War film at San Diego Comic Con. ## Overview Captain America Civil War 4-Pane, also called Captain America vs Iron Man, is a stack of four vertical screenshots pulled from the 2012 Marvel film The Avengers, where Steve Rogers and Tony Stark trade jabs across a lab table[2]. Cap voices a position in the top pane, Iron Man snaps back below, and the two glare at each other in the closing frames, giving the format a natural setup and payoff rhythm. Editors treat the panels as an exploitable, swapping the original dialogue for whatever petty argument they want to stage between two hardened camps, from console wars to shipping debates[1]. The joke works because the acting already reads as two people who will not budge, so any low-stakes disagreement dropped into the captions instantly looks like it deserves a superhero showdown[2]. ## How It Spread Within days the format jumped from Tumblr and 4chan to Meme Center, where a January 16, 2015 submission pulled in more than 300 comments, many of them further remixes of the original post[3]. Roundups on Smosh, International Business Times, Uproxx, and Hypable pushed the comic out to wider entertainment audiences the same week[1]. On January 18, 2015, a thread on 4chan's /co/ board asking for more examples introduced a spin-off template: Hulk voicing an unpopular opinion, the rest of the Avengers glaring at him with contempt, then a Planet Hulk title card as the punchline, nodding to the storyline where Hulk gets exiled from Earth[2]. That variant let editors escalate the joke past a straight two-sided argument. The template kept resurfacing through 2016 as outlets revisited it while covering the actual Captain America: Civil War film and its team-versus-team plot about superhero registration[1]. ## How to Use Creators typically keep the four vertical panels intact and rewrite only the dialogue captions. Cap gets an earnest or mild opinion in the top pane, Iron Man fires back with the opposing take, and the bottom two panels stay wordless so the actors' scowls carry the payoff. Common topics include console loyalties, ship preferences, and franchise fandom feuds. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Captain America Civil War 4 Pane Captain America Vs Iron Man?
