And one good example of good guy Cap in modern comics is Uncanny Avengers, where Cap deals with how editorially mutants have generally been kept separate from the rest of the Marvel universe because if a brutally oppressed people who span all the world were acknowledged as a major concern they'd literally take over every series from Spider-Man to the Avengers to Doctor Strange to the Fantastic Four to etc.
But Cap realizes that the Avengers, the world's greatest heroes, continually ignoring the mutant question because it's politically awkward to deal with, is wrong and so creates a new team of Avengers with a 50/50 split between Avengers and X-Men. And he even steps down as leader to allow Cyclops's brother Havoc to lead the team because he believes that this team should be led by a mutant to show solidarity with mutants.
