Hey there, True Believers, and welcome back to The Heroic Deep Dive, the podcast that plunges headfirst into the most iconic and consequential comic book stories of all time. And today, we're not just looking at a story—we're talking about a war. A war of ideals, a war of freedom versus security, and a war that pitted hero against hero.

This is the story that divided the Marvel Universe. The one that asked the question: if you had the power to save the world, should the world have the power to control you? We're talking, of course, about Marvel's groundbreaking 2006 event, Civil War.

From the shocking tragedy in Stamford that started it all, to the lines drawn in the sand by Iron Man and Captain America, we're going to break down every punch, every betrayal, and every consequence of this epic crossover. So grab your shield or your armored suit, because we're about to jump into the middle of the fight. Let's start the deep dive.
