The wrongdoer seems Bucky Barnes, Rogers' youth friend and previous brainwashed Hydra representative, referred to as the Winter Soldier. T'Chaka's son, T'Challa, promises vengeance as the Black Panther and joins Stark's faction.
Rogers, thinking in Barnes's innocence, tracks him down and discovers that he was framed by Helmut Zemo, a Sokovian seeking to avenge his family's death throughout the Avengers' fight with Ultron. Regardless of Rogers's efforts to bring Barnes in quietly, they are both considered fugitives for disobeying the Accords.
As tensions rise, Stark assembles a team to capture Rogers and Barnes, resulting in a showdown between the Avengers at Leipzig/Halle Airport.
