American Nightmare, Finale: Nuclear Dawn
Captain America and Sharon Carter watch as their real-world bodies (controlled by Nightmare) take out numerous soldiers on their way to the launch room. The secure room can only be accessed by a retinal match. Nightmare's control over humanity affects the eyes and the pair are denied access.
While Nightmare is distracted by this wrinkle in his plan, Cap and Sharon leave his castle. They find as many dreamers that have become trapped in his domain and try to awaken them. Their attempts are short-lived as Nightmare's minions bring Captain America back to their master. Cap finally realizes that he is capable of drawing strength from the dreams of Nightmare's prisoners and fights back against their captor.
In his absence Sharon continues to reach out for the dreamers. Cap's efforts weaken Nightmare's hold on the prisoners. Once Nightmare's illusions have been shattered, Sharon leads an army to storm his castle. Their collective belief in the American Dream empowers Cap and allows him to finally defeat Nightmare. He forces the dream lord to send them back to reality. However they are too late to stop their bodies from launching the missile.
Cap races toward the missile silo and begins to manually closes the silo door to prevent the missile from activating the nuclear payload. He succeeds, but can't escape the silo in time to avoid the imminent explosion. As the countdown reaches zero, he slides down the side of the missile and stands in the heart of the launch flame with his energy shield protecting him. Once again the shield holds. Cap then makes a hasty escape from the silo to avoid the falling debris.
Later on Dum Dum Dugan clears up the situation with the army and begins the legal process to absolve all those trapped by Nightmare from any legal ramifications for their actions.
When they are alone, Cap teases Sharon about her renewed belief in the "Dream". She pretends she has no idea what he's talking about.

but soon realizes she and her family are also hated foreigners,
polluting Germany with the ideals of racial harmony. He determines to
destroy democracy at its root: he goes to work at the hotel and
enters Captain America's suite. Cap uses him as an example of how
anyone, even a lowly staffer, can embrace democracy and believe in
the goodness of all men. The Skull takes out a pistol and guns down

Plausible Deniability
Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter take some time off after their encounter with Nightmare (last issue) to discuss the political turmoil involved with Councilman Andrew Bolt. Steve feels partially responsible for the scandal resulting from "Skrull Cap" publicly supporting his candidacy (issue #6). Once the ruse was revealed, his is dropping in the polls against his rival Phil Oxnard. As Captain America, Steve has promised Bolt – the rare honest politician – to repair the damage his doppleganger caused his campaign. This is at odds with his personal beliefs that Captain America should not be involved in politics.
They return to Steve's apartment – currently shared with the Ramirez family – and finds Louis (the father) has been unsuccessful in finding a job. Steve assures him that he will not ask them to move out until they are back on their feet. He then convinces Sharon to learn why their son Javier is reading law texts books from Harvard while he meets with Bolt.
Bolt and Cap discuss some of the rumors surrounding Oxnard. His reputation has diminished over the years. He's allegedly taking bribes from unknown sources. Bolt knows this but can't prove it. Cap decides to uncover the truth.
In a Georgetown restaurant, Oxnard meets with Mr. Reynolds – one of the suspicious campaign contributors. Reynolds states that this is simply to show his appreciation for all that he has done for his "group". As Reynolds leaves, he is unaware he is being followed back to his townhouse. Cap confronts him, addressing him as "Rilker" from the terrorist group A.I.M.
Rilker invites him inside where he ambushes Cap with two AD-45 Riotbots. Cap eventually defeats them and extracts a partial confession out of Rilker. His arrangement with Oxnard involves passing legislation that will allow A.I.M. to import their technology into the country legally. When he informs Bolt of this, he dissuades Cap from pursuing this publicly. The disclosure will only look like a conspiracy theory to the common voter instead of the truth.
Elsewhere James Rhodes – by special request of Tony Stark – is using all of the resources of his marine salvage company to locate Cap's missing shield. Today he has found it. While this would normally be a success, everyone is speechless when the shield is dropped – and shatters into hundreds of pieces.
After mulling the situation over in his mind, Cap confronts Oxnard directly, stating that he's ignoring the source of "Reynold's" money for political gain. Cap asks him if he still thinks he still serving the public with honor. When Oxnard tries to spin the situation, Cap leaves the room. This causes Oxnard to reflect on his actions and resigns from all his congressional committes.
The next day, Steve Rogers begins campaigning for Andrew Bolt. Captain America may have to remain politically neutral, but "Steve Rogers" is allowed to choose sides.

American Nightmare, Chapter One: The Bite of Madness!
Random public figures have begun acting irrationally. Superstar baseball player Jack Patterson snaps and starts assaulting fans. He is tasered by local police and arrested. He is not the first public figure to snap in recent days. General Ulysses Chapman's public disclosure of an ongoing mission's parameters (last issue) are likely to result in a court martial.
When Captain America learns of these incidents, he is puzzled. Chapman would never disclose classified information in such a callous manner. He is also troubled by the recent expulsion of Warbird from the Avengers for her alcoholism [Avengers (1998) #7].
After convincing Mr. Genuardi, a local store owner, to give a new "modern" apartment building a chance to integrate with the old neighborhood, he makes his way to his own apartment building. The Avengers Foundation kept paying the rent and moved his personal possessions to a secure storage facility during his absence [Following the battle with Onslaught – Onslaught: Marvel Universe #1]. He arrives intending to wait on the movers to deliver his property only to find the Ramirez family occupying his apartment. The father – Luis – is out of work and the family of five were homeless for a time before finding this unoccupied apartment. Luis sincerely apologizes for breaking into his home but explains that they literally had nowhere else to go.
Later that night Sharon Carter arrives at Steve Rogers’ apartment and finds him entertaining the Ramirez family. She asks to speak to him in private needing his assistance in a "work matter". Once they are in another room, Sharon gives Steve an upgraded energy-based shield similar to the one he used while he was in exile [Captain America (1968) #450]. He puts on his uniform and goes for a late night "jog" with Sharon to be briefed on their upcoming mission for S.H.I.E.L.D. In this case it's to uncover the reason that public figures are behaving erratically.
Once the mission briefing is complete, Cap and Sharon stop at a construction site owned by a friend of his, a real estate developer named Michael Ranier. He wants to speak to both him and the foreman about the possibility of Luis Ramirez working with their crew in exchange for one of the new apartments. The foreman accepts, but surprisingly Ranier snaps and tells them that he refuses to do anything for the unfortunate. Sharon notices that Ranier is in a trace while ranting about how people try to take advantage of him.
A clearly insane Ranier has made arrangements to prevent anyone from benefiting from this latest project and hired the Rhino to destroy his own building after Ranier bailed him out of jail [Sensational Spider-Man (1996) #31]. Cap distracts the Rhino while Sharon evacuates the site.
Cap holds his own for a while but the Rhino brings down dozens of metal girders, it momentarily deafens him. He is unable to hear Sharon's warning that the Rhino is charging him. Left with few other options, he decides to test his new energy shield. Luckily for him, it's every bit as strong as his traditional one [Lost in Captain America (1998) #2] and sends the Rhino hurtling in the opposite direction.
Undaunted, Rhino continues to trash the site, eventually succeeding in bringing down the building. Cap and Sharon find themselves buried under the rubble while trying to rescue the last construction worker.

Power And Glory Pt. 1: Credibility Gap
Captain America takes his personal war against Hydra international, working with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers to shut down two Hydra branches – one in London, one in Paris. When the battle is over, the commander of the London branch admits that the Hydra power base has deteriorated. He is not responsible for the public attacks, but informs him that an upstart - the Sensational Hydra - is responsible for these attacks. As S.H.I.E.L.D. moves in to arrest them, one of their members reveals himself as the Sensational Hydra, kills the London commander, and escapes from the confused agents.
Thor returns Captain America to Brooklyn where they discuss the next phase of his war on Hydra. Cap soon admits to Thor that the he isn't sure that he can handle the increasing idol worship by the public. Thor reminds him that he is better equipped than he realizes, citing that he is one of the few to be able to lift his war hammer Mjolnir (THOR Vol. 1 #390) because he was of a "noble heart". If anyone can handle the responsibility, it is him.
Later the Sensational Hydra executes the final phase of his master plan. Releasing a pre-recorded message to Captain America, he indicates that he will kill his hostages if Cap will not meet him on the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Cap makes his way through an "easy" gauntlet of Hydra mercenaries – reluctantly picking up an annoying reporter "sidekick" along the way – to the observation deck.
Once there the reporter reveals himself as the Sensational Hydra, who is in fact a Skrull agent. The hostages are revealed to be Skrulls in disguise as well. Once their identities have been revealed, the Skrulls kill the shocked Hydra agents and capture Cap using "Skrull handcuffs" that adapt with their shape-shifting powers.
The Sensational Hydra/Skrull explains that the three of them are unable to return to their homeworld. As part of their revenge against humanity, he has helped boost Cap's reputation through calculated battles, prompting "Capmania". His ultimate objective is to impersonate Captain America and turn humanity against itself through its most trusted person. He's keeping Cap alive in case he needs specific information from him.
Skrull-Cap returns to the press and assures them that all is fine. Hydra no longer presents a threat, but there is much left to do in his unspecified agenda.

Triumph of the Will
With Korvac's final reboot of time
(last issue), history has run back to just prior to Captain America's
defeat of the Red Skull (issue #17). But this time, instead of Cap
stabbing his foe through the back with a plasma sword, it is now a
staff Cap hits him with, non-fatally. Cap orders Korvac to drop the
disguise of the Watcher and Sharon Carter is angry that Cap threw
away his only chance to stop the Red Skull from achieving godhood.
Cap explains to Sharon that killing the Skull will allow Korvac to
absorb his powers, dooming Earth to a dark future. Now, caught
between two supervillains, Cap thinks he can use Korvac's error to
save them all. Korvac transports himself, Cap, and Sharon to
Galactus' ship, hoping to flee the galaxy before the Red Skull gets
them. Cap then points out that all of Korvac's actions have shown
that he considers Cap his only hope against the Skull. So Korvac
follows Cap''s lead, returning the ship to Earth. As the Skull
continues to absorb all the knowledge of the universe, he detects
them returning and blasts Korvac, spreading him thin across six
dimensions. The Skull begins tearing the ship to pieces and then
possesses Sharon's body, turning her into the consummate killing
machine—and set against Cap. The only way Cap can stop her without
killing her is to whisper “I love you.” This shocks Sharon into
her right mind long enough for Cap to knock her out. The Skull gloats
and prepares to step into the databeam to complete his apotheosis.
Cap warns him not to; the Skull scoffs and enters the beam—and is
consumed. No one said it was the databeam—it's the antimatter
engine core. The dying Skull plans to take Cap with him and causes
the ship to collapse around them. Cap puts his hand into the beam
just enough to touch the Cosmic Cube and teleport himself and Sharon
out of there. Cap hopes that the Red Skull also thought to use the
Cube to teleport to safety but his threat is over. Cap turns to
address the issue of his declaration of love—but Sharon is gone....

Man Out of Time
Korvac returns to his world in 3007
where the entire human race has been enslaved under the watchful eye
of his adjutant Primax, a machine-run utopia for the glory of Korvac
the Machine God. But there is some dissension—Captain America rises
up to lead a revolt and Korvac destroys him, then reboots the
timeline. Over and over this happens, with Cap showing up in one
rebel plan or another, always being defeated, the timeline always
being rebooted , with Korvac choosing to allow Cap to keep his
memories of his other failures as punishment. Finally, Korvac decides
that the only way to end Cap's interference is to reboot at the point
he gained the Red Skull's power, back in 1999. But Cap's praises of
freedom have penetrated the heart of Korvac's servant Primax and,
remembering his own name Jaromel, becomes the new Captain America,
continuing to lead the revolution against Korvac....

Red Glare
Captain America and Sharon Carter are
shattered by The Watcher's revelation that within the next day, the
Red Skull will have subjugated the entire United States. On being
questioned, The Watcher takes them through time and space to...
The Red Skull sits enthroned, a subdued
Thor shining his shoes and Scarlet Witch trapped in a bubble; the
hero Justice arrives and the Skull teleports him to Mount Everest. As
he watches his armies on television besiege New York and Washington,
the soldier suddenly begin to vanish. That's when the Skull learns
that changes he makes with the Cube's power fade when his attention
is off of them. He decides to take his time breeding an army of only
the most powerful soldiers....
...Galactus' starship, being drawn
toward the Earth by the Skull's power and distracting him from
Earthly matters. In this ship is stored the information of an entire
galaxy. Should the Skull get his hands on it he will have godlike
omniscience and be truly invincible. The Watcher then suggests that
only Captain America can defeat the Red Skull—and that, by killing
him. Cap refuses to commit murder and determines to defeat his old
foe in a less extreme fashion. (Sharon, meanwhile, takes the
opportunity to slip some sort of advanced weapon under her coat.)
Interlude: Tony Stark, studying the
fragments of Cap's shield, makes a startling discovery....
In New York, the Red Skull has raised
the temperature to 160 degrees (F) and is forcing a huge crowd of
starving citizens to fight over a single apple. Cap arrives and
fights the Skull, who simply teleports to Mississippi to force people
to fight over shelter from a massive flood. Cap again arrives (by the
power of The Watcher) but the Skull turns the water to acid and Cap
must distract the Skull again to save the victims. Another change of
scene and the Red Skull has the inhabitants of Los Angeles fight for
shelter from a bitter blizzard. Cap again attacks so the Skull
decides to take care of the dauntless hero—by “turning back the
clock,” freezing him inside a block of ice. Sharon hammers at the
ice block until it cracks open, revealing Cap—as a scrawny
powerless figure in a baggy uniform....

To Serve And Protect
The US Navy informs Captain America that Hydra has captured the U.S.S. McKenszie, loading a powerful virus into its navigational computers. It is currently in a communication dead zone, but once it is able to reconnect, the virus will be uploaded to every ship in the naval fleet, preventing them from stopping Hydra's announced attack on the United States. The Admiral is left with no choice but to sink the submarine and the entire crew to save millions of lives.
Cap offers his assistance and sneaks aboard the submarine. Working with the crew, they fight back against the terrorists. With no time remaining to stop the bombardiers, Cap orders the sub to dive and destroys the controls keeping them off the network.
With the commanding officer wounded, Cap finds Lt. Commander Rebecca Houston and works with her to destroy the sub. It's the only way to prevent this sub from taking out the naval network. After all personnel have evacuated, they arm the torpedoes and begin the countdown. Cap and Houston climb inside a torpedo tube, planning to ride the explosion back to the surface.
When the torpedoes detonate, they are blown free from the sub, but the force is insufficient to allow them to reach the surface. Cap quickly realizes that he has lost his grip on both his shield and commander Houston. Cap locates Houston first and tries to reacquire his shield as it continues to fall deeper into the ocean. He soon finds that he is unable to pursue his weapon without jeopardizing Houston.
Cap abandons his shield and surfaces with Commander Houston. They find the remaining crew aboard life rafts, climb aboard, and wait for assistance. Cap silently morns the loss of his shield.

Power And Glory Chapter 3: Hoaxed
Welcome to the The United States of Total Chaos. As part of his master plan, a Skrull commander impersonated Captain America and convinced everyone that 1 in every 20 Americans is secretly a Skrull. Americans began turning on each other immediately. Everyone that looks or acts different is considered to be a Skrull.
For his part, Steve Rogers has temporarily abandoned the identity of Captain America as his iconic presence was the catalyst for these riots. He has contacted Reed Richards and Tony Stark to work on a device which will hopefully end the riots while the rest of the Avengers do what they can to calm the crowds down.
Watching the news for any signs of Captain America, the Skrull commander becomes impatient when Cap is nowhere to be found. He morphs into Cap once again and calls for another press conference. Rogers realizes that this is the only chance that they'll have to use Stark & Richards' device.
They quickly make their way to the television studio (via Quicksilver express) and expose him to a ray which temporarily reverts him back to his Skrull form. A now-costumed Captain America overpowers the Skrull while members of the press corps watch. With the help of his teammates and The Thing, Cap eventually captures the Skrull. Mr. Fantastic instructs them to immediately inform the public that the Skrull "invasion" was a hoax.
At a follow-up a conference, the real Cap explains what happened. He explains that the wave of "Capmania" is to blame for this latest ordeal. He states that everyone shares responsibility for this, himself included. He admits to becoming overconfident due to the constant accolades. This allowed the Skrull's plan to reach fruition.
He then states that the public went along with "his" every word because he hasn't clearly defined his role in current society. He is not here to lead the American people, but to help them reach their ultimate destiny: a land of justice, equality, and peace. He wants to help turn the American dream into "an American reality."

Sacrifice Play
To prevent the sonic cancer from
destroying the Earth, Captain America must rush Tony Stark's
nullifier to Wakanda to intercept and change the frequency of the
“cancer” but it will mean the destruction of Cap's already
damaged shield. As Cap flies toward Wakanda, a pink turbulence (which
we recognize as Klaw from last issue) streaks past the Quinjet. Cap
lands and sets up the nullifier and then discovers that a herd of
horned and tusked pink creatures is upon him; he uses his new energy
shield to tear up the ground, forming a barrier that divides the
animals—which reform and attack Cap in its true form: Klaw. Klaw,
knowing that Vibranium is his only weakness, sees the opportunity to
destroy all of it forever—even though it will leave the world
seriously ruined. Cap battles him and discovers that the sonic cancer
has made the villain stronger than ever; getting bored, Klaw just
destroys the nullifier. As the sonic wave arrives, Klaw soaks it up,
becoming the loudest sound on Earth and able to destroy all Vibranium
himself. Cap picks up his broken shield (duct-taped together) and
defends himself against the villain's attack. Klaw hits the shield
with his full force—and the shield is suddenly whole again. By
absorbing the sound wave, Klaw inadvertently did the work of the
nullifier, realigning the shield's Vibranium molecules and solving
the whole problem. When Cap's shield hits Klaw, the villain breaks up
into millions of tiny pieces—echoes--that are scattered to the
winds. Cap is satisfied: “Mission accomplished.”

there must be another way....
They catch up to the Red Skull in
Washington where the villain has repopulated the city with dinosaurs.
Cap attacks—and the Skull flattens him with a wave of the hand.
Deciding he is not a worthy foe, the Red Skull restores Cap to
normal—and using the new capabilities of his shield, Cap delivers a
thrashing to the Skull. Yet the Cosmic Cube empowers the Skull and he
is easily able to recover and beat Cap by knowing his moves before he
makes them. When he hurls Cap into a tar pit, he is sufficiently
distracted that Sharon can fire the alien weapon at him—but he can
divert its beam without a glance and send it back at her. Galactus'

stop him—and Cap rises from the tar pit and forms his force-shield

explains that it would have been dangerous for him to face the Red
Skull—so he manipulated Cap into defeating and killing him. And now

vanishes into it. Cap, heedless of Sharon's warnings, dives in after
him....

American Nightmare, Chapter Two: The Growing Darkness
Captain America, Sharon Carter, and the construction worker scramble toward the basement which catches some, but not all, of the falling metal. The rest is supported by Cap's new shield. Sharon and the construction worker blast a hole into a cavern to give them some breathing room. However this cavern is also the hiding place that the Rhino is using. After taking down the Rhino, they are immediately found by the remaining construction crew. They return to Rogers' apartment where Steve admits to Sharon he is having inexplicable moments of cynicism – during the building collapse.
Skull Island: The shadow being containing the consciousness of the Red Skull is unable to reverse his current condition. Kang the Conqueror arrives at this point to offer the Skull his assistance is returning him to his normal form.
Avengers' Mansion: The latest news reports show more erratic behavior from prominent citizens. Cap thinks that the connection is that all those that are affected have in some way achieved the "American Dream". Each has become very successful in their respective careers and has been targeted by this "virus". He believes he has a link to the other as evidenced by his recent uncharacteristic behavior.
At this point Jarvis notifies Cap that U.S. Agent is now holding a pilot hostage at a nearby Air Force base and plans to deliver an experimental fighter jet to a foreign power. When Cap and Sharon arrive, they hear U.S. Agent's diatribe about how "weak" the current crop of soldiers are. U.S. Agent attempts to leave but Cap causes the jet to crash and his is taken back to SHIELD headquarters.
They compare notes with acting S.H.I.E.L.D. director "Dum Dum" Dugan. He explains that they are all currently sleepwalking. What's worse, their reactions are all synchronous with each other, indicating they are sharing the same dream.
With more people being infected by the minute and with no other options available, Cap volunteers to be put into a dream state to investigate. He feels that his link may allow him to at least uncover what is going on with the sleep walkers. They are to awaken him in sixty seconds.
Cap soon discovers that the mastermind behind this "insanity plague" is Nightmare. Nightmare greets his guest and explains that he has been waiting for him. With Cap under his control Nightmare 's victory in the real world is assured. As proof, Nightmare takes control of Cap's body and begins to assault the nearby S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Land of the Free
Madan Chakara smuggles a letter out of
prison, telling him of the brutal inhuman treatment they are given.
The worst part of this is...the prison is in the United States....
After an evening of dancing, Connie Ferrari tells Steve Rogers of the Chakara case. Madan had saved up his money
to move to the USA after his brother Kanu invited him, but Madan was
sold false immigration papers by a conman, arrested by the
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), and put in a
privately-owned prison. Connie tells Steve about this prison, a
hellhole run by a corrupt warden. Concerned that she would be upset
if she found out he was Captain America, Steve goes on his own to the
INS and arranges to go undercover in the prison to gather evidence of
wrong-doing....
Cap, using the name Buck Jones, is
hired at the prison and immediately discovers the prisoners living in
filth, shackled unnecessarily, and forced to eat rotten food, and
supervised by sadistic guards. Cap records the evidence on a
miniature camera installed in his sunglasses. Cap discovers Chakara
locked in a small cage, his mind now bitter against the United States
and spitting in Cap's face. Trying to help him, “Buck Jones” is
unmasked as Captain America and he confronts Warden Moseley who
insists that Cap can't prove anything as the guards are bribed and
the prisoners intimidated into claiming to be treated decently. But
this time, the prisoners riot; Cap protects the prisoners from
machine-gun toting guards and rescues the Warden from his vengeful
charges. When a guard gets the drop on Cap, it is Chakara who saves
him by clouting the guard. Cap also confiscates a disk full of
evidence that the Warden was hiding. Moseley tries to escape but Cap
manages to herd him into one of the solitary pens and trap him.

Epilogue: Connie thanks Steve for using
his influence to have the prison shut down and expediting Madan's
citizenship....

Homeland, Part Two
Steve Rogers accompanies Rebecca Quan to a gallery for a show by artist Paige Rand. The show turns out to be a skewering of superheroes with a major piece being a grotesque mannequin of Captain America, wrapped in the flag and barbed wire, hung from a wall. Rebecca mocks the Rand’s pretentiousness and penchant for cheap shots. The artist overhears this and lambastes Rebecca who responds in kind. She and Steve make their exit. On their way home Steve tells her he has to pack for a trip the next day and she startles him by knowing he is going to serve on a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay (having heard it on NPR).
The next day, Captain America arrives at Camp Hasmat in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and is taken to see the Muslim prisoners at prayer, on order from the camp commander. In the mess hall, Cap meets General Barron and is introduced to the camp’s CO Colonel John D. Boyle and the other two members of the tribunal Generals Tony MacPherson and Martin Oliver. On learning Cap was in New York at the time of the 9-11 attacks, MacPherson complains that American retaliation was not aggressive enough. Cap is told that former Senator Lester Paley has volunteered to serve as attorney for Fernand Hedayat, the Iranian-born citizen accused of treason.
Outside Cap has a private meeting with Col. Boyle, explaining his orders don’t include intimidating enemy prisoners. When Boyle responds rudely to Cap, the hero tosses him into the bay. Senator Paley comes over and introduces himself and Cap neatly sidesteps an attack from the angry Boyle, hurling him back into the drink. Discussing matters with Cap, Paley points out that many of the prisoners are hardened killers but entitled to due process and reveals that General Oliver, through veiled threats, has been trying to get him to resign. Suddenly Boyle arrives with guards and order Cap placed under arrest. At this tense moment, Cap’s cell phone rings: it’s Rebecca. Steve takes the call and she tells him that Paige Rand learned who Steve was and wants to invite them to dinner; Steve pretends he is talking to a high-ranking official on a matter of national security and hangs up. The situation temporarily defused, Paley and Cap talk about Rebecca and the Senator’s late wife when the sound of alarms and a helicopter pierce the night. Cap and several soldiers rush to investigate a security breach and discover the tortured body of General Oliver, wrapped in barbed wire and hanging from a cactus….

(No title given: Warlords Part Three)
Steve Rogers uses his shield to protect himself as the government building, site of a bombing, collapses around him. Donning his Captain America costume, he cuts his way out of the rubble to confront the terrorist responsible. He fights with the mastermind behind the Centerville attack, a man with a burned face, subduing him to turn over to the police. Cap questions him about the CATtags, which he led his followers to believe could transfer their consciousness to a new body at death. The arriving police, however, turn out to be the terrorist’s gang, and they overpower Cap. The leader orders his men away, claiming for himself the right to kill Captain America. He explains to Cap that only his CATtag has to ability to keep its wearer immortal, and that selling the tags to the US Military was easy, so that his scheme to commit mass murder of service personnel will go forward. As the two fight, they drop through the rubble into the bowels of the building. The villain offers a challenge to Cap: he will surrender with all his men, if Cap can tell where he is from. His parents were simple farmers, killed with American-supplied weapons, his own face burned—which of America’s many conflicts was this part of? Cap defends his nation, blaming the leaders, not the people, insisting that his nation has changed and will change. As the hero beats his foe, he insists that if the terrorist truly felt the suffering of the innocent, he would die rather than inflict it on anyone else: all he is capable of feeling is his own hatred. Cap, seeing from the villain’s CATtag that he is still alive, rededicates himself, with his people, to the cause of freedom and peace.

Hana relates to Captain America the story of the Interrogator: blind, deaf, and mute save what he experiences through his cyborg hand, he wanted Hana (then the Atlantean ambassador to Lemuria) to capture Captain America for him. When she refused she had to fight her way past the Assassins to escape—and at that moment she realized she was in love with Cap. He, however, on learning this is unable to tell her he doesn’t love her…but she knows that already….
Cap and Hana visit a veterans’ home in Kentucky to see retired General Phillips. When he learns that Cap is there, Phillips’ mind goes back to his history with Captain America: how he chose the 4-F Steve Rogers for the Super-Soldier Project because of the fire in his spirit; how he was disappointed as the war progressed when Cap refused to kill any longer; how he sought the President’s approval to take Captain America out of the way, so the bombing of the Hiroshima could proceed…. When the General and the Captain meet face-to-face though, they are immediately interrupted by the violent arrival of the Lemurian assassins. In the brief but violent melee, they seize Cap’s shield and slit Phillips’ throat before they flee. As he dies, the General whispers to Cap that there are things he doesn’t know.... Cap tells Hana they are going to Lemuria to recover his shield, but more importantly to avenge the General’s murder….

Inali Redpath explains to Captain America he has just immobilized Barricade’s men and killed their leader. He also asks Cap why he has never been bothered by reporters even thought his identity is now public. Cap rejects Inali’s overture of friendship, claiming he is not a friend of a murderer. He knocks Inali down, and the troops suddenly snap into action. Cap just orders them to take the children to safety—"or I will make you eat those guns." As the soldiers take the children home, Cap confronts Inali, who explains he has been given the power of the winds and the weather to drive out the white invaders who stole the lands of his people. His spirit has joined with the Sioux thunder god Haokah to destroy the nation whose colors Cap wears. He uses his wind power to snatch away Cap’s shield and knock the Avenger down. He forces Cap to swallow bitters to open his consciousness and departs in a helicopter. Cap races and grabs onto the landing struts and hangs on. Inali calls Nick Fury and tells him to watch for the storm of the century: he levitates into the sky and calls down the winds and lightning on Miami below. Cap enters the copter, takes a parachute and drops into the air. Cap reaches the ground—but then the bitters take effect and he starts seeing mad visions of old enemies….

Barricade
Steve Rogers dreams that he is Captain America, trapped for decades beneath the ice, watching the events of the world pass him by until he finally smashes his way out…then he awakens to the sounds of violence outside. Seizing his shield he leaps from the window and overpowers two muggers. Later that day, returning from work at the Brooklyn Navy Yard he spots a confrontation brewing between two gangs. When one group draws guns, Steve informs them that the neighborhood is safe while he lives there and reminds the gangleader (Tony) that his sister died violently. The leader orders his men to drop their weapons—with the warning that if Cap fails to protect his people, they will start carrying again. Tony then persuades his men not to mess with Captain America.
Later Nick Fury recruits Steve for a mission—investigating the death of an old friend, Inali Redpath. In Florida two days later, Cap meets with SHIELD Agent Samantha Twotrees and she shows him the remains of Inali, who taught Steve tracking. Evidence shows that Inali, a shaman, was trying to stop a tornado when it rammed two wooden posts through his body. Cap’s further examination shows that the dead man wasn’t Inali but his clone. On questioning, Twotrees tells him that the devastated building nearby was SHIELD’s human engineering facility. Cap drives off on his motorcycle; Twotrees contacts her boss to say that Cap has cut off contact with Fury and is headed his way.
Cap knows she was lying but before he can figure out how, he is brought up short by a blazing forest. Surrounded by a band of heavily-armed men, he faces their leader, who calls himself Barricade, and prepares for a fight….

In Washington, Inali Redpath reflects on Lincoln’s words at Gettysburg and wonders whether Lincoln had forgotten that his people stole the land from the native inhabitants. He calls Samantha Twotrees, reveals he is still alive and asks for Captain America. When she hangs up, Inali ponders his course of action and wonders how much he owes Cap…. His mind drifts back to when they were on a mission in the Balkans: Steve thought it was humanitarian until Inali told him it was a cover for a SHIELD operation to liberate a prison camp. Steve suits up as Captain America and joins him. On the mission, Cap stops Inali from shooting a guard and frees the prisoners with no casualties on either side. He made Inali believe in America that day, but he didn’t realize the difference between the nation and the man…. He contacts Barricade to stop him from interfering with Cap and backs up the warning with a tornado—but he is too far away to do any real damage to the mad soldier. When Captain America rides into the ambush, he avoids the enemy’s flame thrower attack and launches himself into Barricade and his troops. Alone against the massive madman, Cap beats him up demanding to know where Inali is. A school bus passes at this inopportune time and Barricade halts it and threatens to set it aflame with the children inside unless Cap chains himself. Cap complies—and the madman casually tosses a flare toward the gas-soaked bus…. A massive wind whips up, extinguishes the flare, and kills Barricade with a blow to the head. Inali Redpath has arrived."Hello, Steve. It’s good to see you again."

Captain America and Nick Fury plot strategy on how to take down Inali Redpath, who is using the powers of the Sioux storm god to devastate Miami. Cap has called in the big gun: the Mighty Thor, God of Thunder. Study of the clones show that they are not fully human but mindless followers; Inali was sent to find why SHIELD was funding the cloning lab and was critically wounded inside. He then gave himself to the Native American deity and rose, leading an army of clones of himself, Cap and Bucky into a crusade to recover his people’s stolen land. Cap explains his theory to Fury and then goes for a swim with Hana of Atlantis to clear his head. He enjoys her company but realizes that her convenient appearance could not have been a coincidence; she declines to confirm this.
In the sky over Miami, Inali is attacked by Thor. The Sioux thunder god Haokah separates from him to engage his Norse counterpart in battle, while Captain America keeps Inali occupied. Cap announces he will not allow Inali to harm any more people; the Native American villain responds by calling all the people of America complicit in the nation’s crimes. Cap call that terrorist doubletalk and lashes out. Inali reveals that the genetics lab was designed to create more compliant versions of Cap, one that would kill on command without any qualms. This body of Inali is also a clone and it is fading—but Cap knows it is Inali’s shaman grandfather who switches his consciousness from body to body allowing Inali to live on. In North Dakota, Nick Fury leads a SHIELD raid, arresting Inali’s grandfather and destroying the clones.
Cap meditates on the lesson learned: murderers with a cause will always threaten the country and while America’s government can be wrong the nation is good and will carry on. Thor counsels him with the advice that the strong must keep fighting for the right.

Hana, the Atlantean who met Captain America in issue #10, knocks at Steve Rogers’ door. Getting no answer she breaks in and finds Cap in tears, having viewed the films and other evidence (sent to him anonymously) that the US government deliberately froze him in the ice near the end of the war. He believes it’s because he failed as a super-soldier because he would not kill, and knowing that he would have opposed the use of the atomic bombs in Japan, his own government got him out of the way for decades. They also arranged for him to be found by the Avengers but the evidence does not suggest why he was revived at that specific time. At this moment a trio of masked women burst in to capture Cap—but he quickly overpowers them. Hana recognizes them as from the Lemurian Assassins Guild….

As Captain America and Hana fly to Lemuria, he ponders the implications of the conspiracy theory he has generated and wonders if Bucky’s death was likewise deliberate….
They dive into the ocean and come up in an underwater grotto, an air-filled environment for the human Interrogator. When Cap announces his intentions to take the Interrogator back to America to stand trial for the murder of General Phillips, the sinister figure calls out the guards for his protection. He merely wants to know the source of Cap’s confidence in his own rightness and abilities, to understand his worldview. Cap responds by fighting the guards, wielding his replacement shield, but the Interrogator sinks his probes into Cap. Hana cuts him free and helps him escape into the ocean, keeping him alive by breathing into his mouth. Finding solace on an island, Cap finds himself attracted to his Atlantean companion and kisses her. His sudden drawing away prompts her to muse about the repressed nature of his sexuality, questioning his prudish morality. In an instant she is impaled with a spear and dies in Cap’s arms. The Interrogator asks whether under the circumstances, Cap would consider it right to abandon his stance against killing and strake against the murderer of one he cared for…?

Captain America Lives Again! Chapter Two
In a Nazi-ruled alternate history: escaping the Nazis by leaping from a window high in the Empire State Building, Captain America lands atop a huge dirigible. The Red Skull orders his soldiers to open fire, causing the hydrogen-filled aircraft to explode and crash to the street below. Cap was able to leap to safety though and finds himself in the Baxter Building. He encounters Reed Richards, whom he had met during the war, and Sue Storm; they smuggle him out of the building before Nazi searchers arrive and direct him to Yancy Street. As Cap makes his way through the city, he dodges the Nazis’ armored elite troops, the Iron Men, and escapes by heading into the subway and leaping atop a passing train. The Iron Men pursue and Cap flings his shield to switch the train onto another track, allowing a low tunnel entrance to scrape the enemy off the top of the train. Leaving the subway and entering an alley near Yancy Street, Cap is met by resistance fighter Ben Grimm, who discovers a tracking device on Cap. The two fight off the pursuing Iron Men and head down another alley—which appears to be a dead end. An escape tunnel opens to reveal Johnny Storm who lights a huge gasoline fire to cover their getaway. Elsewhere, the Red Skull meets with loyal industrialist Tony Stark, who escorts the Skull to a secret lab where Victor von Doom is working on the latest Nazi secret weapon: a time machine. Test volunteer Baron Strucker is transported to prehistoric times and returns with a small dinosaur he had killed. The Red Skull crows that this will allow him to conquer not just the world but eternity….

In the Florida Everglades, Captain America confronts a gang of local men who are holding several illegal immigrant women in sexual slavery. Announcing that they are surrounded by federal and county lawmen, Cap orders them to surrender their weapons. They open fire instead; like a whirlwind, Cap takes out all of the criminals.

In a Brooklyn diner, Steve Rogers and the manager Phil hear on the radio that Iranian historian Fernand Hedayat has had his American citizenship revoked and been transported to Guantanamo Bay to be tried for treason by a military tribunal. The arrival of a young woman interrupts the conversation and Steve offers her a place at his table. She introduces herself as Rebecca Quan and recognizes Steve from the news. They chat about her job as a logo designer and afterward go for a walk along the rocky shore where she explains how Cap’s shield is the perfect example of iconography. Near Steve’s loft, they are met by two agents, Bender and Helper from Homeland Security, who invite Cap to a meeting at the request of the Regional Director and General Barron. Steve excuses himself from Rebecca and leaves with them. As their car crosses the Brooklyn Bridge, a masked figure in a van opens fire on them with an automatic weapon. Steve seizes one of the agent’s firearms and shoots back, causing the assailant to drop his weapon in the street.
In the office of Regional Director Tolliver of the Department of Homeland Security, Steve meets with Tolliver and General Barron. They receive word that Agent Helper is dead, Bender permanently disabled. A threat against the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel ensured that Steve would be brought over the bridge where the trap was waiting for him. They then get to the purpose of the meeting: Fernand Hedayat has been transported to Guantanamo Bay for trial. They want Captain America to serve on the tribunal to restore the public’s trust in the proceedings….

In his New York neighborhood, Steve Rogers demonstrates to a boy the proper way to take down the flag, the symbol of the country’s ideal. But as Captain America, he finds it difficult to explain that ideal when the nation’s leaders have corrupted it for their own ends. Later he receives a crate delivered to Steve Rogers.…
In the undersea kingdom of Lemuria, the Interrogator, a cold disfigured man who speaks through a delicate cyborg hand, outlines to his daughter his plan to capture and interrogate Captain America. She balks at the idea, as Cap is a force for good in the world. Her father insists that good and evil are relative, all is really gray…he relates his own story from many years ago. He was an American scientist, Seevers, in an Arctic expedition studying Atlantean technology discovered at an abandoned base; in the pay of an enemy power he betrayed his colleagues and admitted an invading force to steal the undersea high-tech. Namor, the Sub-Mariner, arrived to demand they leave the island, a sacred place. As he awaited their response he walked around the island and discovered the body of Captain America frozen in ice. Intending to give his old friend an honorable burial, he chipped Cap’s body out of the ice block—but was interrupted by the enemy troops. The resulting battle set part of the island aflame, the heat reviving the dormant Cap. Namor proceeded inside the building where he found Seevers clutching his prize, an Atlantean cyborg hand, and struck with a killing blow—which was intercepted by Cap’s shield. Acting by instinct as his mind was still recovering, Cap fought Namor to protect the human; the sea king calmly took Cap’s shield and used it to slice off Seevers’ hand. The two former allies battled that day and Seevers set the island’s self-destruct codes and fled. Cap would be discovered by the Avengers minutes later and the injured Seevers would eventually find his way to Lemuria where the cyborg hand he struggled so intently to possess was welded to his bloody stump. This hand he now uses to implants a probe in his daughter’s brain, bringing her under his power and dispatching her to capture Captain America and bring him there….
Back in his apartment, Cap has opened the crate and is now watching film of his frozen body being placed on that island…by US troops….

Don Blake, personal physician to Tony Stark, arrives with the news that resistance member Peter Parker was captured by the Nazis and is scheduled for a public hanging on the next day….
On the morrow, a huge gallows has been erected in Times Square and the Red Skull broadcasts a warning to the city that resistance is futile. As Peter is dropped through the trapdoor, Cap’s shield severs the rope and Peter is picked up by Ben and Johnny while Cap battles the guards. Captain America calls on Americans to rise up against the Nazi overlords but the event was a trap: hundreds of soldier appear and take Cap prisoner. The escaping Ben and Johnny discover Peter’s body has been wired with explosives which are detonated remotely by the Red Skull, killing the three of them. Back at resistance headquarters, Bucky reassures the team that hope will not be lost while Cap lives. Don Blake arrives with the secret information Peter gave his life to steal: Reed Richards and Hank study the photos and realize that the Nazis are building a time machine. Bucky sends out word for the national uprising to begin….
At the gates of Stark Industries, blind Matt Murdock provides the distraction for a frontal assault on the building, while Reed flies Bucky into the rear of the complex. Meanwhile, in Cap’s cell, he is released by Tony Stark, who reveals that he has been a secret resistance member all along, working against the Nazi effort from within—the only aid he was capable of giving with his bad heart. They are intercepted by suspicious guards and Tony, knowing he will only slow Cap down, passes him a device to give to Hank Pym, and elects to hold off the Nazis with a machine gun while the Sentinel of Liberty heads further into the building….

Dust: Enemy, Chapter One
In the days following the September 11 (2001) terrorist attacks on America, Steve Rogers is working as part of the team sifting through the rubble of the World Trade Center, searching for survivors. There are few small victories as the dust of the ruined buildings hangs heavily in the air and Steve reacts bitterly to the fanaticism that claims to do this in the name of God. Nick Fury arrives and tosses Steve a bag with his Captain America outfit and orders him to go to Kandahar. Steve responds by hurling Fury aside and pointing out that those who may still be alive need him more. As he heads home later Steve meditates on how the world has changed overnight and he stops to look at this shield and finds it shining as a beacon in the gray city. Moments later, a man who lost his daughter in the attack tries to stab an Arabic man but Captain America intervenes, explaining how the people of America have to be stronger, better now or else the terrorists will have won.
Centerville, seven months later: a typical American small town is attacked on Easter morning by the fall of a multitude of small bombs. On his way to the site, Nick Fury gives Cap a CATtag, a high-tech tracking device which will signal if the holder is killed. Cap tosses it on the floor as he leaps from the plane to confront the terrorist led by the monstrous al-Tariq. On the ground, Cap surveys the devastated town, noting there are no bodies or signs of carnage. He realizes that the townspeople are hostages and this time he is not too late to make a difference….

(No title given)
The North Atlantic, March 1964: a Nazi submarine recovers a man frozen in a block of ice, floating in the water. Taken aboard the sub, Captain America is revived and sees he is surrounded by Nazis and with his last thought being of Bucky’s death, starts fighting them. A doctor manages to inject him with a sedative and the prisoner is delivered to New Berlin. Arriving at that destination, Cap is awoken and discovers that city is the former New York, now a Nazi showcase, with a giant image of Hitler replacing the Statue of Liberty in the harbor. The chained hero is delivered into the custody of an SS officer who explains that America lost World War 2 twenty years earler and transports him to the Empire State Building, now the headquarters of the Reichstag. There Cap is brought face-to-face with the Nazi ruler—the Red Skull. The Skull brags of the glories of the Nazi regime and gives Cap a history lesson: after Cap vanished, the tide of war turned against the allies, and advances in Nazi technology allowed them to develop greater weapons, including the atom bomb, leading to the invasion and conquest of North America. They then proceeded to purge the land of those deemed inferior and destroyed Atlantis. The Skull then offer Captain America a choice: join the Reich as a symbol of the Nazi victory and be treated as a hero, or refuse and be dissected for his biological secrets. Cap’s response: "Go to Hell!" and he slugs the Red Skull. Under hail of gunfire, Cap runs and crashes through a window, to freedom….

Collision Courses, Part 1 of 2
Lawrence, Kansas: Crossbones and the newly restored Sin are on a violent rampage across the Midwest, robbing and killing. Sin guns down a bystander she recognizes and the killers search the victim’s car, finding an AIM outfit….
A week later, the villains are identified and SHIELD assigns Sharon Carter to track the murderous duo down; she enlists the aid of Captain America, ostensibly for his experience with the fugitives but really to check out a possible sighting of the missing Bucky Barnes in Pilsburg, Iowa. Arriving in the small town, Steve and Sharon question the local Sheriff who tells them that the suspect crashed a car into a large building causing a major fire then vanished, and provides a list of witnesses. They stop by the scene of the fire and are curious as to how reconstruction started on the ruined building so quickly—plus why the town is prospering without any signs of a viable industry. Conclusion: Bucky was here to investigate something…. They take rooms at a local hotel where Steve’s eye is caught by an old photo of a couple who turn out to be the former owners, now deceased. Questioning the locals about the crash only gets them evasive answers, until a drunk named Carly Jackston tells them what he saw. He relates how that night he witnessed a giant spider-like robot in combat with a man who battered the machine with his metallic arm until it exploded—the real cause of the devastating fire. Sharon advises Carly to leave town for his own safety and they head back to the hotel. On the way, Steve’s elation at confirming Bucky is still alive leads him to kiss Sharon and they share a brief tender moment. That night, Steve dreams about the War, and it jars his memory so that he recognizes the photo downstairs. Sitting up in bed he is targeted by three laser sights, he jumps up and he and Sharon confront a trio of AIM operatives, overcoming them easily. The leader asks Steve for help….

House of M
As an elderly Steve Rogers is guest of honor at a testimonial dinner, he looks back on his earlier career as the hero Captain America. He recalls that day at then end of the War when he and his partner Bucky leapt aboard Baron Zemo’s drone plane as it took off from the Nazi villain’s island base. They were able to disarm the booby trap and send the craft back at Zemo, leaping to safety in the English Channel as the bomb destroyed the villain and his castle. Cap then led the Invaders to Berlin, where they defeated the Nazi menace and captured Hitler. After the War, Steve married his sweetheart Peggy Carter, while remaining on call for the government in view of a growing concern over mutants. Some time later, Captain America was summoned before Senator McCarthy’s committee and questioned about his friendships with known mutants such as Namor and Toro. Refusing to inform on his friends he resigns from his position. Steve became an astronaut and as the first man on the moon, paid tribute to both humans and mutants. This caused a rift with Peggy, now a SHIELD agent, who disapproved of her husband’s mutant sympathies. Meeting with Bucky, also a member of SHIELD, Steve learned that the issue was not black and white: the mutants were seen as a threat not merely out of prejudice but because their powers make them dangerous in ways that human criminals are not. Over the following decades, the mutants gained in power and influence and Steve continued to campaign for equal rights for mutants. But as Magneto rose to prominence, Steve also warned of the possibility he would become a dictator; as a result Steve was forced into retirement. After this he became more irrelevant, courted by antimutant groups, but he would have nothing to do with them….
Now after the dinner, as Steve goes home he is pushed aside by a gang of mutants and muses that this world where Magneto is in control and humans are second-class citizens is not the world he fought for….

The Winter Soldier, Part 6 of 6
Outside the NextGen secure facility, the Winter Soldier fires at the Falcon…and misses, thanks to the hero having been warned by Redwing. He quickly aims at Captain America and sees a red-white-and-blue shield zooming at his head. He ducks and calls out the security forces. Cap crashes through the soldiers and into the complex while the Falcon covers his back—by taking on the squad single-handedly. Sharon Carter contacts Cap to warn him of a network of tunnels behind the building and that he must capture his quarry or risk losing him. Not to worry, Cap comes face-to-face with the Winter Soldier moments later and they fight. Meanwhile, Sharon and a SHIELD team have arrived outside and they take out the guards and join Falcon in the search for Cap. As Captain America and the former Bucky Barnes struggle, Cap appeals to his opponent to try to overcome his conditioning. When the Soldier insists he is no one Cap knows, Cap stands back and invites his foe to kill him. Winter Soldier pauses…then fires. Cap ducks and ricochets his shield off the ceiling, striking the Soldier in the back and spilling the Cosmic Cube on the floor. Cap picks up the Cube and commands the Winter Soldier, "Remember who you are." The sudden inrush of memories causes the assassin to recoil in pain. Bucky says that Cap should have just killed him, then seizes the Cube in his cyborg hand and crushes it. A sudden outpouring of energy fills the room and when it clears, the Winter Soldier is gone. Sharon and Falcon believe he is dead but Cap is convinced his former partner is still alive….
Winter Soldier—Bucky Barnes—appears at the abandoned Fort Lehigh where he recalls his first meeting with Steve Rogers, Captain America….
At Kronas headquarters, Aleksander Lukin is berated by the voice in his head for losing the Cosmic Cube, claiming he could have used it to heal his injured aide and restore the Soviet Union if he so desired. Lukin replies that the Cube is cursed since it trapped him in his own body with the mind of the Red Skull….

Out of Time, Part 3 of 6
The Red Skull’s minions in London receive word that their master has been killed (issue #1), making Mother Night the new leader and uncertain of their course of action….
At SHIELD HQ, Sharon Carter is coordinating the search for the Skull’s henchmen. The dead villain’s cell phone led to a search in London and Paris. Sharon suggests the exhausted Captain America take a break. While he is trying to focus, he has a flashback to the War: he and Bucky are ambushed by Baron Zemo and his gang and Cap is shot in the chest—except it didn’t happen that way. Then word comes from their allies in London: Union Jack led a team of commandos in an assault on the Skull’s London command center and found Mother Night and the AID team dead, brutally slaughtered, and their bomb missing. In Paris, Cap and Sharon spot an AIM carrier and Cap shoots down the craft single-handedly and defeats the AIM villains. However they know nothing of the plans of the Red Skull and were merely trying to recover a bomb that was stolen from them by the splinter group AID. Nick Fury confirms that the murdered man in Manhattan was the Red Skull and suggests Steve and Sharon take some R&R. As they walk along the Seine, Steve reminisces about his time there during the War, when he and the Invaders supported the heroes of the Resistance in the liberation of their city.
In a bar just outside Pittsburgh, a drunken Jack Monroe annoys the skeptical patrons with his claims that he was once Captain America’s sidekick. Leaving the bar, he is shot down by a mysterious assailant and his body placed in the trunk of a car….

Red Is The Darkest Color
Having liberated Synthia Schmidt from the government facility where she was kept, Crossbones tries to reverse her brainwashing. First he shows her film of the Red Skull battling Captain America, while praising the Nazi villain’s vision—then reminds her she is his daughter. He slaps her around trying to force her to fight back, to be the Sin she used to be, "the Synthia Schmidt I knew…she didn’t even feel pain...’cause it was practically all she ever knew." Flashback to her birth: the Red Skull, enraged that his child is a worthless girl, prepares to toss the infant into the sea. Susan Scarbo (later Mother Night) pleads for the child’s life, insisting that any progeny of the Skull is destined for greatness. Scarbo volunteers to raise the child as nanny, indoctrinating her with the Red Skull’s values and ensuring that she suffers through her childhood like her father. Crossbones tosses her into a cell and asks her why he would go through all this trouble if she were any ordinary child….
In the cell she has a flash of memory of killing a SHIELD doctor who tried to subdue her—by biting through his throat. She tries to convince herself it is all a dream….
Later, Crossbones has her throw knives at a picture of Captain America, hoping again to unlock her memories. He explains that when the Red Skull was dying, he had Synthia aged into an adult with his Deus Machina and she served him as Mother Superior. Captured by SHIELD, she was de-aged to a teenager after which she escaped and was one of Mother Night’s Sisters of Sin. The burly villain explains that the Red Skull was eventually resurrected in a cloned body but he would still be disappointed by his daughter. This angers Synthia so that she manages to hurl a knife directly into the center of the target. He drags her off by the hair and offers her a choice: if she would be set free, she must kill a captive taken by Crossbones for this occasion. When she refuses, Crossbones shoots the man. Appalled, Synthia leaps at the thug and he knocks her to the ground, satisfied with her reaction.
She awakens to the deadly feeling of Crossbones ducking her head in a tub of water, while taunting her in order to break the SHIELD conditioning. She vanishes into a dream world of the Red Skull telling Captain America she will always be a failure…because she was born a girl. When she again awakens, she leaves the cell and appears in Crossbones’ bedroom, holding a knife to his throat. He knows that she is finally back to normal and they make love….

Drums of War, Part 3
SHIELD Director Maria Hill summons Sharon Carter to a meeting aboard the Helicarrier. Since Dum Dum Dugan and the staff psychiatrist have both recommended Sharon be returned to active duty, and Sharon herself assures her boss she is no longer conflicted about the civil war (which we know is the result of a hypnotic suggestion by Dr. Faustus) Hill is ready to give her a new assignment. Agent 13 will be joining the task force hunting down the rogue Nick Fury. Sharon withdraws to a secret room where she meets with the Life Model Decoy controlled by Nick Fury (first seen last issue) to be filled in on the situation with Captain America….
As he runs over the New York rooftops, Cap is angry that the superhero civil war is too much of a distraction from the urgent need to find the Red Skull. The Skull made his televised statement (issue #21) a week before the Stamford incident (CIVIL WAR #1) and since then Cap has been battling Tony Stark and not his archenemy. A tip from Nick Fury has led Cap to a secret Hydra meeting place. Cap overpowers the two guards and dons a Hydra uniform. He searches the building for clues to what the criminal organization was planning and makes a shocking (unseen) discovery—but he is caught by a Hydra team. Cap strips off the Hydra suit revealing the red-white-and-blue and launches into them; suddenly the room is full of Hydra agents, and they just keep coming, as fast as Cap can take them down. One of the villains detonates a suicide bomb, killing everyone but Cap, who was protected by his shield. Dazed, he makes his way out of the building to discover a SHIELD Cape-Killer squad already on the scene. As they try to place him under arrest, the agents are all paralyzed by a sudden electromagnetic pulse coursing through their high-tech headgear. Sharon Carter, in a flying car, calls to Cap to get in. She explains how Fury was able to devise that device based on a stolen helmet (nabbed by Bucky in the last issue) and Tony Stark will likely redesign the technology to prevent it working again. She explains she is no longer conflicted about which side to choose in the conflict—not since Goliath was killed (CIVIL WAR #4). Cap wonders if Stark has resorted to recruiting Hydra to do his dirty work in his war on unlicensed heroes; Sharon points out that the war is forcing Cap as well as Tony to do many things they would not otherwise have considered. Cap brings up what he learned about the Red Skull’s plans….
Epilogue: At the Kronas Corporation, the Red Skull is introducing his newest recruit—Arnim Zola—to the lab facilities; the plan: to destroy Captain America….

Twenty-First Century Blitz, [Part Two]
As Captain America battles the new Master Man aboard a ship at the London docks, Aleksander Lukin tells the Red Skull he intends to keep Cap out of the way a little longer by detonating a bomb aboard the ship. As Cap is engaged in combat with his Neo-Nazi counterpart, Union Jack is hurled over the side of the vessel by one of the villain’s henchmen; from the dock he spies the bomb counting down less than a minute to go and hurries back aboard to warn Cap. Cap contacts Spitfire who races back in time to grab her two partners by the arms and leap into the water with them just as the ship explodes. They see Master Man leaving a fiery trail as he is hurled through the air….
Bucky Barnes watches the TV report on the incident, which includes the revelation that Captain America and Union Jack were at the scene of the explosion. Then he goes back to preparing his revenge against Lukin….
Joey is called on the carpet by Phil Gavin, his boss at MI5, who is facing pressure from his superiors and the public—not to mention Kronas Corporation—as to why one of his agents destroyed a ship with the help of an American agent. When Cap refuses to reveal what he was searching for on the ship, Gavin orders him to stand down. Sharon Carter enters at this point to explain that Cap works for her, and for the next week so do Spitfire and Union Jack, by orders of the Prime Minister. They head off to plan their next move….
The next night, Sharon and Union Jack explore a secret underground tunnel connecting two Kronas properties while Steve and Jackie follow Bucky’s trail. The latter pair roughs up an arms dealer and his thugs to get a lead on the Winter Soldier. But it’s Sharon and Joey who are standing only a few yards from their quarry in the tunnel. Winter Soldier blends into the shadows as they receive a call about a sighting of the Master Race, Master Man’s Neo-Nazi gang. Captain America and Spitfire, Union Jack and Agent 13 rendezvous at the scene, only to find several rooms full of dead men, some Master Race and some from an A.I.M. splinter group. And one more thing: part of a plan for an air assault on London….
Elsewhere, Master Man, his face blistered from the burns he received, vows revenge against Captain America. The Red Skull assures him he will get his chance…since he just sent Cap an invitation….

The Winter Soldier, Part 1 of 6
April 1945: a Russian submarine receives a report that Captain America is missing after an explosion in the English Channel. Colonel Karpov orders the sub to head there immediately….
The present: Captain America is in a meeting with Nick Fury and Sharon Carter aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier. They are trying to convince him that his wartime partner Bucky Barnes, long thought dead, is alive and responsible for the terrorist bombing in Philadelphia. Cap recalls how the previous evening he was in the midst of that devastation, rescuing victims of the fire and battling AIM’s MODOC Squad, a team of cyborg soldiers; during that fight, he was rescued by a masked gunman who seemed familiar. Fury shows Cap pictures gathered over the decades of the same ageless man at the scenes of various murders of American officials during the Cold War. This seems to confirm the legend of the Winter Soldier, a deadly Soviet assassin who could pass for an American and was put on ice between missions. And now Nick Fury wants to know if this Winter Soldier is Bucky Barnes. Cap can’t—or doesn’t want to be sure. Fury outlines a plan to capture Aleksander Lukin, their only lead, to question him in private. After Cap leaves, Fury breaks the news to Sharon that her former lover, Agent Neal Tapper, was killed in Philadelphia night before….
April 1945: the Soviet sub searching the Channel for signs of Captain America discovers another body floating in the water and takes it aboard….

The Winter Soldier, Part 5 of 6
In a New York hospital, Aleksander Lukin waits anxiously by the bedside of his aide Leon, whom he inexplicably beat for touching the Cosmic Cube. When he learns that Leon’s condition is still uncertain, he determines that "this cannot continue" and walks out….
Back at Steve’s Brooklyn residence, Captain America and the Falcon are trying to puzzle out Lukin’s scheme against Cap. The villain doesn’t seem to have reason to hold a grudge over the massacre in his village when he was a kid (besides, Cap wasn’t responsible for that), or a reason for waiting so long to put it into effect. Falcon prods Cap into deciding what he really wants to do; Cap wants to save Bucky….
At Kronas, Lukin orders the Winter Soldier to take the Cosmic Cube away. When the assassin questions that decision, Lukin becomes very upset and orders him to go. But after the Winter Soldier leaves, Lukin’s decision is also questioned by a voice in his head….
The next morning, an AID warehouse is assaulted by Captain America, the Falcon—and Iron Man, who defeat the scientist-terrorists, even easily destroying a huge suit of battle armor. They demand to know a way to track the Cosmic Cube. Later at Stark enterprises, Tony Stark uses the device’s energy signature to learn that the Cosmic Cube is en route to a NextGen underground facility Kronas owns in West Virginia. The heroes plan to retrieve it but Tony announces he cannot go with them: an attack on a Kronas holding would look like corporate warfare and he could lose his company. As Cap and Falcon head to the NextGen facility, Sharon Carter contacts them in flight and they explain the situation: find the Cosmic Cube and they’ve found the Winter Soldier. Cap suggests SHIELD sent a backup team as soon as possible. Arriving at the target site, they reconnoiter and discover that the plane carrying the Cube has already arrived. As they watch from the woods, they are unaware that the Winter Soldier has them in his sights, and following Lukin’s orders to kill anyone who threatens the Cube, he fires….

The Drums of War, Part Two of Three
The Winter Soldier (James "Bucky" Barnes) scales the wall of a downtown building and breaks into a high window, using a small device to pass the security system; he crawls though the vents and into what turns out to be a secret SHIELD monitoring station. Secreting himself in a computer room, he is attacked by Nick Fury but Bucky manages to deactivate his foe, who is a Life Model Decoy of the SHIELD leader. He activates a hologram of the real Fury and they carry out their plan: injecting a nanotrojan into the LMD so Fury can control it remotely. Watching taped footage of the recent battle, Barnes and Fury agree with Captain America that the Super Hero Registration Act, forcing heroes to work for the government, is not what America stands for. Bucky feels uneasy since the Philadelphia bombing which he was behind (issue #6) was cited as one of the reasons for the Act. Fury also adds that the Winter Soldier’s assassination of an American official in 1959 led to the creation of the robot doubles known as LMDs. Bucky accesses SHIELD surveillance and sees film of Aleksander Lukin visiting the Latverian Embassy—and wonders why no one has followed up on this. Leaving the building Bucky sets a diversion: he puts out a hologram image of Cap’s old ally D-Man and waits for the arrival of a government Cape-Killer team. Using a power surge device, Bucky takes out the team and, as per Fury’s request, steals one of their helmets. Bucky notes he is not far from the Latverian Embassy; Fury advises him to leave matters alone, he is keeping an eye on matters there.
Epilogue: In Latveria, Doctor Doom has confirmed that the information about the archaeological dig in Germany provided by the Red Skull was accurate. Doom then keeps his part of the bargain: the device will be delivered to Kronas Labs Doom warns the Skull that it is good for one use only; the Skull replies that once is all he needs to ensure that the civil war is only the beginning of Captain America’s suffering….
