Ways Captain America Can Kill Thanos

Captain America has often been at odds with SHIELD, both in the comics and the movies. Sometimes he's got their support, sometimes he doesn't, and sometimes he's outright fighting against their aims. But no one among the Avengers has more knowledge of SHIELD than he does — or more contacts within the organization. The dude has romanced two separate SHIELD agents, after all — with nearly 70 years between them!

With Nick Fury and Maria Hill gone, no one can marshal SHIELD forces like Cap. He knows how their hierarchy works, he knows who they have on their side, and he understands their tactics, in no small part because he's often been targeted by them. Thanos might have power over reality, but SHIELD could form one part of a powerful strategy against him, if only as a distraction. And it's not just the power of SHIELD's arsenal, agents, and sundry other resources that Cap has at his fingertips — it's Captain Marvel. Fury beeped her in the post-credit scene, sure, but there's not much his ashen self can do now. Cap isn't just the only person with any kind of SHIELD ties to her, but the only person who, as another Fury contact with bizarre powers, could truly understand her.
