Raft Civil War

In Captain America: Civil War, Team Cap are locked in a huge underwater prison called the Raft. For those who don’t know, this is based on a location in the comics: a supervillain-holding facility situated in NYC’s East River (though not underwater).

The Raft takes the place of Prison 42 in the comics’ Civil War arc. The change was presumably necessitated by that facility being situated in the Negative Zone, a location that Fox have the rights to as it is tied in with the Fantastic Four.

Another important difference with the Civil War comic is the fate of Crossbones. In the movie, the villain dies during a fight with Captain America. In the comics, he is the one to kill Steve Rogers, something many fans were expecting to happen in the film.

The Crossbones incident is also the catalyst for the Accords in the movie, while the comics’ equivalent was a failed mission by superhero group the New Warriors which ended in the destruction of a school.
