(No title given)
Years ago: Tony Stark bedded Veronica Eden and in the morning, when she reminds
him of a tech proposal she made, he shoots it down as obsolete. She is angry at
having two-years’ work dismissed so cavalierly and he promises to get her a job
with SHIELD….
Now:
Veronica Eden pleads guilty to having infiltrated SHIELD on behalf of Hydra,
which she was competing to be the head of (losing to Baron Zemo). An armored
truck taking her to prison is attacked by the alien hero Fifty-One; Iron Man
arrives almost instantly and battles the alien and armed soldiers who pour out
of a waiting truck. Captain America, who had been following the armored truck for
Sam (the Falcon) Wilson, is also on the scene, fighting the soldiers as they
whisk Eden away in a car; she fires at the tires of a passing bus and Cap and
Shellhead must abandon the baddies to save the bus full of people from flying off
the overpass. Afterward they suspect that she may be working with shady Senator
Todd Baker who is trying to revive SHIELD and had Eden become head of Hydra,
their secret teaming would lead to worldwide disaster. Tony gets a lead from
his automated B.O.S.S. on a possible hiding place for the bad guys…
At
the hideout, Fifty-One, who speaks no human language, shows Veronica Eden on
his phone what he wants from her; she finds it reasonable. Then the wall is
blown open and the Paladins enter, a new superteam featuring Pioneer, Vox,
Prima Donna, and Think Tank. There is a battle and Cap and Iron Man arrive and
the fighting intensifies. When the dust clears, Eden and Fifty-One are gone,
she still promising to get him what he wants….

Aboard
the Helicarrier controlled by Overseer, Iron Man and Captain America, with the
seriously injured Fifty-One, are under fire from the army of Myrmidons that
serve the Overseer. Cap dons the Supreme Hydra armor to hold off the robots
while Shellhead flies Fifty-One to safety. Iron Man leaves the injured alien
with the Paladins (Pioneer, Vox, Prima Donna, and Think Tank) and fights two
Myrmidons that have followed him in the sky above Minneapolis….

Veronica Eden confronts Overseer which has betrayed her and now counts her among the
humans that must be subdued in its quest to remake America, then the world.
Overseer then communicates its big plan to Cap who finds and frees Veronica
Eden who dons her Hydra suit (with Doc Ock tentacles and a Goblin Glider) and joins
Cap in the battle….
Iron
Man tracks down Senator Baker, Eden’s co-conspirator, to learn about the big
scheme. From Baker’s and Eden’s confessions to separate heroes, we learn that
Baker was going to revive SHIELD while Eden took over Hydra and together they
would stage mock battles between heroes and villains so the Paladins were
recruited to fight the re-activated Myrmidon—but they lost and panicked. Only Fifty-One
thought it a good idea to warn real heroes about the Overseer so the Paladins
arranged it to look like the alien had turned bad and they were trying to stop
him instead of vice-versa. Meanwhile, Overseer evolved and rebelled against the
humans….
And
now, the Paladins have the unconscious Fifty-One and are contemplating what to
do with him….

Captured
by Captain America and Iron Man, Veronica Eden volunteers to tell them
everything they want to know in exchange for a plea deal. She reveals that
Fifty-One is going after the Myrmidon armor to launch an attack on Minneapolis
and offers to take them to him. Tony thinks this is about the Supreme Hydra
armor Fifty-One has, worn by a rogue Captain America and Steve feels partly
responsible. They agree to let Eden guide them to Fifty-One’s hideout. Before
they leave, the Paladins (Pioneer, Vox, Prima Donna, and Think Tank) offer to
go with them but they are turned down. They ask for advice and Cap tells them
to stop thinking of themselves so much and learn the job as there are no
shortcuts….
Later,
the Paladins complain and bicker among themselves but Vox suggests they go help
Cap and Iron Man who don’t know what they’re up against….
Eden
guides Cap and Shellhead to Fifty-One’s hideout which turns out to be a SHIELD
Helicarrier. On entry, the two Avengers fight Myrmidon, with the armored Fifty-One
suddenly appearing and taking over that battle. They find the massive Overseer
computer which has made the Helicarrier an extension of itself. Veronica Eden
reveals that she and the Overseer are in love and with her plans to take over
Hydra foiled, they will be moving to Plan B: destroying all super-powered
people, heroes and villains alike, because they are responsible for many of the
world’s crises and after that the planet will be guarded by an elite military
unit. Myrmidon and Fifty-One reappear and it takes the combined might of the
three heroes to finally destroy it. Meanwhile, Overseer is double-crossing Eden
and it has disabled the fail-safes Eden had installed. And then there enters an
army of Myrmidons….

Aboard
the Overseer-controlled Helicarrier, Captain America in the Hydra armor and
Veronica Eden with Doc Ock’s tentacles on a Goblin Glider battle a number of
Myrmidons. On the ground, Iron Man races to save Fifty-One from his murderous
partners, the Paladins (Pioneer, Vox, Prima Donna, and Think Tank) who are
about to kill him when Myrmidons arrive to kill Fifty-One themselves. Then Iron
Man arrives and carries off the captive alien. On the carrier, Cap and Eden
battle the Myrmidons while debating the big moral question whether superpeople should
be trusted or eliminated. Cap brings it down to the individual to learn responsibility.
Iron Man meets Cap at Overseer and Fifty-One calmly walks into the computer’s
maw. The robotic Myrmidons stop attacking and disperse. The Paladins know they
can’t win but fight anyway and are subdued by Cap and Shellhead. Fifty-One
reveals that he has been merged with Overseer so he dumps his visitors out of a
hatch and the Helicarrier departs. Iron Man and Veronica Eden catch all the
non-flyers and get them safely to the ground….
Later,
Steve and Tony talk over matters and unanswered questions. The Helicarrier is
cloaked and cannot be traced and Veronica Eden? We see her on the run—until she
is found by Baron Zemo….

Blood Truce
SHIELD operative Dum Dum Dugan meets with ex-KGB interrogator Dmitri Panshin at Euro-Disneyland in Paris; his object: to recruit the former Soviet torturer for the CIA. Though Dugan finds the task—and Panshin—distasteful, he follows orders to snatch up the spy before another power can hire him. When Panshin excuses himself to enter the restroom, he is attacked by an armored America calling himself Agent Orange. Dugan draws his gun but Titanium Man crashes through the wall and battles Agent Orange, wanting Panshin for his own faction. In the confusion of the struggle, caused mainly by Orange’s recklessness, Dugan is shot in the leg and Panshin escapes.
A short time later Captain America arrives aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier to meet Nick Fury. Fury introduces Cap to two top officers Col. Nate Thurman and Lt. Col. Tom Gittes. Cap has been briefed on his mission: he is to contact Panshin and protect him from Agent Orange if necessary. Cap is likewise disgusted with the plan to court the Soviet torturer but follows orders. Elsewhere on the carrier we discover his opinion is shared by Thurman and Gittes—and they are the ones behind Agent Orange, believing men like Panshin deserve death not reward for their Cold War actions. But Orange’s foul-up has drawn the attention of Captain America and Thurman is having second thoughts, despite wanting justice for his brother George who was killed by the Soviets.
In Prague, a disguised Cap watches Panshin as he meets his young son Sergei. Suddenly Agent Orange is on the scene, intending to shoot the Russian spymaster. Cap attacks the rogue American, recognizing the weak points of the Stark-designed armor. Orange’s sneering overconfidence negates the advantages of his armament and Cap is able to defeat him and pursue Panshin, who is escaping by car with his son. Titanium Man also appears on the scene and tries to snatch Panshin but Orange interferes again allowing T-Man to grab Sergei and fly off. Cap follows in a small SHIELD aircraft and Orange hitches a ride, shooting down T-Man and catching the boy to use as a hostage. Cap manages to save the disabled Titanium Man from crashing to his death in the street below. Cap then learns that T-Man is now working for A.I.M. SHIELD and A.I.M. hold a meeting to discuss the matter. The criminal science organization denies knowledge of Agent Orange, which is merely a weaponized version of a Stark-designed industrial mecha-suit. The antagonists are forced to cooperate to rescue the boy.
The next day, Dmitri Panshin surrenders to SHIELD to get his son back. The organization is contacted by Agent Orange who tries to give the impression he is working for Hydra. An exchange of Panshin for his son is arranged, and Gittes browbeats the increasingly reluctant Thurman into the next part of the plan. On the way to the rendezvous in Berlin, Cap questions Panshin about the enthusiasm with which he pursued his deadly craft; Panshin silently muses on the reason: his pregnant wife was killed in the crossfire between KGB and SHIELD agents…. In Berlin, Panshin is exchanged for Sergei, and Titanium Man is able to track Orange as he carries off the spy. Once the rogue agent is safely aboard the Helicarrier with his prisoner, Gittes calls a red alert, shutting down the craft, and his supporters seize control. Panshin is then put on trial before Gittes and his star chamber for war crimes. At this point Cap, Fury, and Titanium Man assault the Helicarrier and take on the defending agents. Cap takes on Agent Orange while lecturing the stupid kid inside the armor on the difference between fighting for the American people and serving a gang of thugs. Defeating the agent, Cap heads below and confronts Gittes’ court. The mad renegade orders his men to shoot Captain America but they can’t bring themselves to do it. Thurman, finally fed up with Gittes’ criminal tactics in pursuit of a warped goal, punches him out.
A month later we find that Dmitri Panshin is now working for the CIA and Nick Fury is facing an inquiry into the goings-on at SHIELD. So who’s the winner? According to Cap, it’s Sergei.

Cold War

White Wolf is in his cell at The Hague when Bucky Barnes, Winter Soldier and the new

make him king of Dimension Z….
Steve
Rogers and Ian Rogers, his adopted son he thought was dead, are at an early morning
bar getting caught up on matters when Steve realizes something is wrong. Then
the place blows up and Steve sees Peggy Carter, the Dryad, carrying off Ian
into a Zola portal, while revealing that she is one of the Starpoints, servants
of the Outer Circle….
Captain
America (Steve Rogers) gathers Captain America (Sam Wilson), Misty Knight, and
Sharon Carter, filling them in on what has happened. Sam tells of White Wolf’s escape
and they conclude Bucky and the Wolf are working together in Dimension Z. Steve
explains the Outer Circle and Bucky’s and Peggy’s involvement. Misty tells how
the Aberrant Crimes Division has been monitoring some sort of activity in Alaska,
where Sharon and SHIELD have just cleaned up the militia. So they make plans to
head north….
In
Dimension Z, a blood sample is extracted from Ian and given to the White Wolf
to drink, infusing him with Arnim Zola’s DNA. WW takes the throne of Z and
dispatches his Phrox servants to herald his coming for war….
The
team arrives in Alaska to find two bands of militia engaged in war games; they
are then attacked by the militias and fight back. Then a portal opens and Phrox
emerge, leading an army against them. In Dimension Z, the Wolf invites Bucky to

Cold War
Story
continued from CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY #13.
In
Dimension Z, Ian Rogers is in his cell that resembles a child’s bedroom.
Black Widow encourages him to let go of his trauma because Earth is being invaded by
the monstrous Phrox….

Bucky Barnes, Revolution of the Outer Circle, confronts White Wolf over this invasion
which was not part of the plan; White Wolf no longer cares about the plan, he’s
taking control….
Outside,
Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Captain America (Sam Wilson) with their
partners Sharon Carter and Misty Knight are making plans to invade the villains’
stronghold. It is decided that Steve Cap and Misty will head in the front to
attack White Wolf directly while Sam Cap and Sharon will sneak in the back to
face Bucky. So, the former dash in and quickly fight their way to the throne
room. Sam Cap and Sharon enter via the roof and Sharon faces Dryad, her Aunt
Peggy, with Sharon taking on the mask of her friend Roger Aubrey, the recently
killed Destroyer. Sam Cap attacks Bucky. In the dungeon, Ian tells Natasha that
Steve sees him as hope but hope doesn’t change things, sometimes everything
needs to be broken. The discussion continues while we cut to the various battles.
Finally, Steve Cap defeats White Wolf and Sam Cap subdues Bucky. Steve is
reunited with Ian but Ian still has something to do; he is laying aside his
trauma to become what he is: he suddenly transforms into an armored ruler and takes
the throne of Dimension Z. Bucky tells Steve that Cap was a pawn in this plan,
doing what Bucky knew he would do. Steve Cap figures out Bucky’s plan: as the
new Revolution of the Outer Circle, his first goal was to keep Neganite out of
the bad guys’ hands and so he manipulated Steve Cap into forming a new Invaders
to retake Manhattan. And then Bucky had to get everyone out of Dimension Z, the
sole source of Neganite so he allowed White Wolf to capture the place and
kidnap Ian which brought the Caps there to defeat WW so that Ian could become
the ruler. The two Caps agree that the next steps involve everyone going home….

Dead Men Running Part One
"We are dead." Such is the judgment of Sergeant Roberto "Bob Solo" Solano Vicq, one of five soldiers lost in the jungles of South America while protecting a group of local children. They managed to get a distress call out before the radio was destroyed and its operator killed. To their amazement a plane passes overhead and drops a lone man on a chute. They figure the jumper has to be dead until Captain America steps out of the forest to announce help is here. Lieutenant David introduces himself and the others Sgt. Solo and Privates Sore, Hulk, and Nystrom. Cap is there to lead them to where his plane is waiting at a private landing field a two-day march ahead; there is a convent halfway there where they can rest briefly. Cap sings a lullaby to the frightened children in Spanish and they trust him. A short time later in the night, they are attacked by native soldiers, with Cap fighting them off almost single-handedly. As they march along, Cap discovers that the enemy is from the local drug mafia, attacking the Americans who are on loan to the local government to stop the cocaine traffic. Cap finds this dubious and intends to take it up with their commander. Cap starts to question the children as to why they were prisoners but they group is spotlighted by a helicopter overhead, demanding they free the children and surrender. The squad fights back and Cap is shot by the enemy; Private Hulk picks up Cap’s shield and hurls it at the copter, causing the pilot to lose control and crash into a tower. Nystrom rushes out into a crocodile-filled swamp to recover the shield. After they have gotten to safety, Cap asks Lt. David why one of the children thought the man in the copter was her father.... Solo administers a painkiller to Cap—which turns out to be a sedative. As Cap passes out, the soldier explains that they are after the dealer’s stash—and have taken his kids hostage. The Americans then realize that for their mission to succeed, Captain America must die….

Dead Men Running Part Three
"We are dead." Fighter jets are firing on the convent where Captain America and a squad of crooked American soldiers are holed up. The attack is to eliminate all witnesses to a drug deal gone wrong. Lieutenant David is the first to die: hurled backward by the blast he is decapitated by Cap’s shield which he holds in his hands. Sgt. Solo is surprised by a nun, screaming in pain; in a panic he shoots her down. He picks up the shield and heads out, hoping to find Cap’s contact at the distant airfield. Cap, with the body of the unconscious Pvt. Sore in his arms, questions his decision to leave. Angered, Solo accuses Captain America of not understanding the fears of the ordinary non-heroic types. Cap responds that this only fear is of doing wrong and assures him that the situation has never been easy. Back in the War, he witnessed several atrocities committed by Americans and made the choice not to give in to evil: "What others do…is no excuse." Solo wants to tell him they are dead, that what they do doesn’t matter but he knows Cap will tell him it’s no excuse.
In the convent, Cap lays plans to get the soldiers and the children to safety but the Americans refuse. The only thing awaiting them back home is a court-martial. Instead they choose to stay and face the cocaine mob. The next morning, Cap leads the nuns and children toward the distant airfield while the soldiers prepare for the confrontation. In a heavy rain, the drugs lords arrive, killers wearing skeleton costumes and ready for the dance of death. Sore dons Captain America’s mask as a tribute to his great-grandfather (see previous issue) and kicks the leader in the face. The thug orders him taken down with machetes. Sore fights for as long as he can but he is soon overwhelmed by the numbers. Solo and Hulk pick up machetes and assure the drug lords the children are safe. The leaders responds that is wasn’t about the children, the cocaine or the money—it is about the dance of death. Solo understands now: "We are dead but we do not run anymore. We dance."

Dead Men Running Part Two
"We are dead." Captain America has been drugged and taken prisoner by a squad of American soldiers in the South American jungle to keep the hero from interfering in their scheme to steal a drug baron’s stash of cocaine by ransoming his children. Pvt. Nystrom approaches a convent holding Cap’s shield which draws the Mother Superior out of the sanctuary. She permits the wounded hero and the children inside the refuge but insists the soldiers stay outside. Lieutenant David and Pvt. Sore gun down the nun’s guards and take her hostage, demanding entrance. The other nuns quickly open the gates to admit the Americans. The young and naïve Nystrom is appalled that David would kill Captain America and stands up to his commander; David responds by ordering Nystrom to prove his loyalty by executing the Mother Superior. When the young soldier balks, David kills her himself. Another nun on her knees offers herself to David as a martyr as well, shocking the callous GI. Sgt. Solo all the while has been reflecting on the wicked things he has done in his life and how he has estranged himself from God, but he goes on living, because that’s what the dead do. When Private Hulk discovers the nuns have a radio, David orders Cap, Nystrom, and the children locked up and goes to send a message.
In the room with the unconscious Captain America, Pvt. Sore releases his pent-up anger at the hero: his great-grandfather met Cap during the War and pressured his son into volunteering in Vietnam, where he was killed. His son, Sore’s father, ran away from home to escape the pressure of living up to an impossible ideal. Great-granddad sore to make a super-soldier out of Sore and beat him every day he failed to live up to Cap’s example, and now the frustrated GI beats Cap savagely while Solo looks on, perplexed at why people do what they do.
Lieutenant David radios his commander Major Buxley and tells him that the mission was a failure. Buxley promises to come for them; David goes out to the highest point of the building, holding Cap’s shield to signal the coming copter.
Sore rips off Cap’s mask and mocks him as a pretty boy who is probably rich, and demands to know what chance a guy like him has against the pretty boy. Cap replies that it isn’t a question of chance but of choice. Sore sneers that you can’t wake up one day and decide ot be a hero. Cap responds that he can wake up and decide not to be scum. An enraged Sore takes a swing at Cap—who catches his fist and knocks him out with a single blow. Solo is certain they are all dead.
Outside David sees the aircraft coming but they are not copters: they are fighter planes. As the terrible realization hits him, the jets fire their missiles to eliminate all witnesses….

Chapter One
April 1944: In a plane over the Nazi-occupied Danish Straits, Captain America prepares his gear and parachutes into the midst of a battle. His mind goes back to when he was Steve Rogers, dreaming of someday joining the Army like his late father. His seriously ill mother told him that with his health problems, he would have to fight for his dreams. As he lands and takes on the forces of Hydra, he recalls how he was frequently bullied, until he stood up to his tormentors, inspiring another kid, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, to fight for him. Inside the Nazi castle, the Red Skull awaits his archenemy, hoping to demonstrate they are very much alike….

Part One: Unfinished Business
Bucky Barnes looks back on his wartime adventures as the partner of Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, and as a junior member, with Toro, of the Invaders. But they were senior members of the Kid Commandos and before that, of the Young Allies. The other members of this latter team were four non-powered boys: Patrick "Knuckles" O’Toole, Washington "Wash" Jones, Geoffrey Worthington "Geoff" Vandergill, and Hank Tinklebaum. Together they adventured against the Nazis and were the stars of a fictionalized comic book and eventually went on to distinguished careers in the military and good lives after the War.
Now, Bucky finds himself attending the funeral of Wash, the last surviving member of the group and there he spies a familiar face, a young attractive Asian woman who smells of lotus blossom. He tries to catch up to her but misses her as she drives away. Who is she? She resembles the hypnotic Lady Lotus, one of their enemies from the War, but much too young. A database search reveals Lady Lotus, real name Lotus Newmark, is in a federal prison in Colorado. As Captain America, he hitches a plane ride west with an old pal of Steve’s, Texas Jack Muldoon. On the way he recalls a run-in with Lady Lotus during the War: the Young Allies were appearing at a bond rally held in a Los Angeles movie theater. The young heroes were objecting to the enlarged comic book poster decorating the stage, especially the insulting racial caricature of Wash. Toro solves the problem by immolating the offending picture. Outside a group of zoot-suited Latinos start a riot; when they are quelled by a dazzling flash from Toro they have no memory of what they have done. They didn’t know it then but the men’s actions were the result of Lady Lotus’ mind control….
Cap is dropped into the wilds of Colorado and visits the prison in the guise of a news reporter who has come to interview Lotus Newmark. But the woman brought out to him is not Lotus—the villainess has used her mind-manipulating powers to switch places with an inmate set for release and hypnotized everyone into not noticing the difference….
In Hollywood, the real, youthful Lady Lotus smug in the knowledge that all her old enemies are dead, plots to regain the power they denied her years ago—the power of the gods themselves….

In the Hall of the Gods
1943: The Young Allies, hypnotized by Lady Lotus and sent to bomb Muroc Army Air Field, have recovered from the trance and are trying to formulate a plan to stop her evil scheme….
Now, many decades later, Captain America, the former Bucky Barnes, is still looking for a way to stop Lady Lotus. His ally Texas Jack Muldoon has refueled his plane for pursuit of the foe and contacted Black Widow. The Widow has researched Avengers’ files and believes that Lotus’ gem is an artifact of the Celestials who visited Earth millions of years ago. The tracking device hidden in the villainess’ plane leads Cap to the Andes where Lady Lotus has found the Celestial Temple, location of the matching gem which will give her unstoppable power. As Cap flies overhead, she causes his plane to break apart in midair and gently levitates him to the ground. She takes control of his mind and orders him to follow her into the temple to achieve her destiny….
In 1943, the Young Allies return to Lotus and, pretending they are still under her spell, report that their mission was a success. Toro’s absence is explained by claiming he was killed in the attack. A messenger arrives by motorbike with an urgent communiqué; he is really Toro in disguise and seizes on the distraction of the message to flame on. A struggle to seize the gem from Lotus results in her triggering an earthquake to destroy her enemies. Toro fires a flame bolt, knocking the gem out of her hand and it is lost down a crevice….
Inside the temple, Lotus orders the enthralled Cap to remove the gem from the wall; he does so, nimbly evading the booby traps. As he presents the gem to the villainess, he suddenly crushes it in his cyber-hand, revealing he was never hypnotized. Her original gem floats away from her and lodges itself in the second gem’s setting on the wall. As the entire temple starts to collapse, Cap seizes his foe and carries her to safety, protected by his shield. She manages to slug Cap and escape—into the arms of the Falcon, who has arrived with the Black Widow and Texas Jack.
In the aftermath of the 1943 battle, Lotus gets away but her gem is lost to her. Bucky vows that if she shows up again, they will stop her….
Decades later, Cap explains to the Widow how, before he accepted the mantle of Captain America, he asked Tony Stark and SHIELD to rewire his brain, to prevent anyone from ever controlling him again. He—and the spirits of the Young Allies—can now rest easier, knowing that he has finally closed their last open case.

Across the Pacific
1943, Democracy Pictures studio: Lady Lotus has used the power of her hypnotic gem to enthrall Toro and use him to trap the Young Allies in a wall of flame. She reveals her goal to Bucky: seizing total of the Pacific Rim. She explains she is merely using the Axis forces as a means to her own ends. Who else would she use? She mocks the racially inferior Allies as a so-called aristocrat (Geoff), an Irish guttersnipe (Knuckles), a Blackamoor (Wash), and a Jew (Hank), representatives of a mongrel nation. When they show pride in America, she brings them all under her control and asks which one is the most accomplished pilot. Surprised that it is Wash, she conceives a plan to use the Young Allies against their own nation and perhaps incite a race war. She sends them out in a bomber, with Wash (in a fighter) and Toro (without) to attack Muroc Army Air Field near Los Angeles ….
In the present, Captain America, the former Bucky Barnes, is piloting a jet supplied by Texas Jack Muldoon, trailing Lady Lotus’ plane by means of a tracking device he had planted on it in the previous issue. He finds her on the remote island where her gem was unearthed. Her agent Saburo has excavated the buried temple which once housed it and they examine the carvings on the walls in hopes of finding the location of the gem’s twin, which will restore the one she has just recovered to its full power….
As the Allies head to bomb their target, the memories of Lotus and her disdainful racial slurs forces Wash out of his trance. He opens fire on the bomber carrying his friends as the only way to stop their warped mission and Toro fights back. Wash fires a flare gun and the bright flash snaps his android ally out of the spell, too. Toro then lights up the sky with a blast that restores the minds of all the Young Allies. They then turn the bomber around to take the fight back to the enemy….
In the Pacific, Lady Lotus has deciphered the glyphs with the aid of her gem and now knows the location of the other one. Cap sets off a flash-bang grenade which snaps the workers out of their trances. As Cap jumps into the room and makes a play for the villainess, she uses the gem to cause the temple to come crashing down around them. She re-enslaves the workers and with Saburo sets out on the next part of her quest, confident in the knowledge that Captain America is no longer a threat. Some time later, Cap emerges from the rubble, having been protected from serious injury by his shield, and watches Lotus fly off into the distance. He contacts Texas jack to request more fuel and some backup….

Havoc in Hollywood
On his way to Hollywood by motorcycle, Captain America receives an update from the Black Widow on the mysterious Lotus Newmark. It seems she controlled much of the Los Angeles underworld and had legitimate holdings in the movie industry. She was caught when she used her powers to animate the massive stone statue known as "It" to battle Wonder Man and the Beast. The Widow tells him there is no information on Lotus more than six years back when she gained control of Global Studios. As Cap heads there, he wonders if Lotus Newmark could be the same Lady Lotus he faced with the Young Allies during the War….
After the riot in Los Angeles (seen in issue #1), Bucky and Toro were allowed to sit in on the interrogation of the rioters. All deny any memory of the altercation and they recall an Asian woman shortly before. The boys want to get involved but the FBI tells them to sit it out. At her headquarters, Lady Lotus, angered that her plans were frustrated by the meddling young heroes, is presented with an enormous gem by her aide Samaru. Unearthed by her agents in the Pacific, the gem would increase her hypnotic power a thousandfold….
Cap arrives at Global Studios and recognizes it as the site where he and the Young Allies made patriotic films during the War….
Back when the place was called Democracy Studios, the boys were given a tour of the New York City Street set, while making plans for an investigation in Chinatown later. Suddenly running into a band of Nazis, the Allies start a fight, until they learn that the "solders" are movie extras. A few handshakes and autographs later, the matter is smoothed over…but then Lady Lotus captures the minds of the Nazi-costumed actors. Later, after shooting the patriotic short film is completed, Toro is called to the telephone but it’s a trap and he falls under the villainess’ spell as well. As the other guys are relaxing on the set, the hypnotized "Nazis" open fire on them with real ammunition. The young heroes fight back but the biggest surprise comes when Toro appears—and traps his pals in a circle of fire, then bows before Lady Lotus….
At the studio, Cap, watching from a high vantage point, spots Lady Lotus approaching a late night excavation on a back lot. She captures the minds of the laborers and takes the large gem they have uncovered. Cap slings his shield, knocking the gem from her hands but she orders the workmen to mob Cap, affording her time to recover it. Lotus uses the gem to fire energy blasts at the hero but when she finds she can’t control his mind she shorts out the electrical system and makes her getaway in a waiting jet. As she plots to restore the gem to its full power, Cap vows to track her to the ends of the Earth.

Hail Hydra, Part 3
Prologue: China, 209 B.C.: Xu Fu, court sorcerer of the Qin Dynasty, achieves the end of his quest for the Elixir of Life when he meets the powerful immortal Anqi Sheng. Xu Fu brings a gift of 3000 children and Anqi Sheng turns over to him a small vial. The immortal explains that this is but one component of the Elixir. In response to Xu Fu’s outrage, he explains that the gods want man to learn and to strive for eternal life—as his true form begins to prey upon the children….
In Wakanda, the Falcon is being fitted with high-tech wings by T’Challa, the Black Panther. Captain America estimates that the ability to fly will increase his combat efficiency by a couple hundred percent. T’Challa explains that the wings are a cybernetic system, controlled by the wearer’s will—so Sam leaps out of a window and has to be rescued by the other two heroes. Some time later, as the Falcon is practicing his new ability at the national airport, T’Challa gets a call that there is a crisis at Solomon’s Grotto, one of Wakanda’s sacred sites. This shrine is under attack—by zombies….
Interlude: Florida, A.D. 1522: the explorer Ponce de Leon is captured by his cousin Count Duende who wants the secret of the Fountain of Youth. When Ponce tells him there is no such thing, the villain kills him and orders his men to make it look like the work of the natives….
On their way to the Grotto, T’Challa, now in his Black Panther costume, explains that according to legend the shrine was a repository for the secret of immortality as discovered by the Biblical King Solomon. The three heroes arrive to find that the site has been overrun by zombies, a monster native to Haiti, not Africa. The heroes swoop down and rescue the guards, battling the monsters in a mad melee. It takes twenty minutes of furious fighting to overcome all of the zombies. Inside the chest of one of the creatures is a small disc containing a tiny sea creature—a hydra. Cap now knows who is behind this insane attack….
Interlude: Spain, A.D. 1537: a Dr. Garibaldi is brought before the Inquisition and accused of practicing alchemy. The scientist defends his work as the service of God and spits his defiance at the Inquisitors. The Chief Inquisitor, however, confirming Garibaldi’s true nature, offers him a job….
At Hydra Lab 133, Dr. Geist explains to his followers the significance of the hydra—this small creature is effectively immortal, and Hydra seeks to unlock that secret in order to become gods….
Captain America, Falcon, and the Black Panther meet with their fellow Avengers—Iron Man, Thor, and the Scarlet Witch—at the Mansion. As Cap fills them in on the details of the events in Wakanda, they begin to form a dim idea of Hydra’s quest for immortality, with Thor realizing they took a sample of his blood (issue #2). Their one lead is the pouch of coupe poudre recovered in Wakanda—the magic formula used by Haitian bokors to create zombies….
Cap and the Falcon fly to Haiti to meet with scientist Dr. Cyril Lewis, an expert in the zombie formula. Suddenly his office is invaded by zombies and the heroes overwhelmed. Cap is confronted by the resurrected Nazi Erlking; as the two enhanced fighters tangle, Erlking informs Cap that they are both super-soldiers and he exhorts Cap to join Hydra not fight against it…after all, why hasn’t Cap aged since he was pulled from the ice? He was injected with the Lazarus Pathogen by Dr. Geist (issue #1). As Cap is overwhelmed by the zombie horde, Erlking makes off with Dr. Lewis’ notes on coupe poudre. The Falcon takes to the air to pursue him to the edge of a waterfall where he manages to snatch back the pouch while the villain plunges over the falls. Falcon is delighted that he has finally mastered the use of his new wings…but Cap is still shaken by Erlking’s last words….

Hail Hydra, Part 5
At the Metroplitan Museum of Art, Hydra agents break in to steal ancient artifacts but Captain America is there to stop them…. In the lost chamber of Horus at the Pyramids, Black Widow likewise prevents Hydra from making off with the canopic jars of an actual god…. Luke Cage wrecks a Hydra lab in New Jersey…. Steve Rogers assembles all the Avengers and briefs them on the mission he has been on for nearly seventy years: stopping Hydra from completing their Infinitas Agenda. They now know that the criminal organization is much older than they had suspected—over seven thousand years—and have been scheming for millennia to conquer death and create a race of gods. Steve has narrowed the list of possible sites for Dr. Geist’s lab to three, and the Avengers will have to hit all of them simultaneously in a series of coordinated attacks. Princess Shuri of Wakanda has loaned them three cloaked quinjets for the operation. After the meeting, Cap points out that Steve omitted the detail that he had been injected with the Lazarus Formula; Steve considers it unnecessary…
At the Hydra base, Commander Montag warns Geist that the lab should be moved; Geist is impatient to complete the project since he is dying and wants to prolong his life. Once Montag is gone, into huge vats containing Aryan giants, Geist orders the living blood of his agents spilled. Electricity courses through the vats and one of the new gods opens its eyes….
An Avengers team led by Iron Man, Spider-Woman and Wolverine assaults a Hydra base in Chicago; another team with Spider-Man and the Falcon crashes into the installation in Yosemite National Park; the third team with Steve, Cap and Thor invades the target under the Statue of Liberty and discovers Geist’s lab. Frantic battles break out in the three locations, with the New York team having to fight the undead hordes. When they arrive at the central lab, they find the crippled and deformed Geist—embedded in the chest of the Great God Hydra, an Aryan giant struggling to utter his first words. The giant seizes Steve in his massive fist while Geist gloats about Hydra’s ultimate goal: a world ruled by a new race of gods, purged of the racially impure—claiming even Thor agrees since he is refraining from attacking his fellow "god." Thor, however, if leaving matters up to Steve…. Steve points out that the god appears to be a drooling idiot. Geist orders his creation to destroy Steve Rogers, ending Captain America forever. The god refuses, tearing Geist out of his chest as a form of contamination. The Great God Hydra proclaims his ominiscience and in response to the dying madman’s pleas, executes mercy—by crushing the deluded Gesit. Steve tells the giant that if he truly is the embodiment of Hydra, the humans will never cease fighting him; the giant foresees Steve’s destiny, not as the champion of his country but of his species—and that it is possible he will never die or end his conflict with evil. Though created by Hydra, they do not own their "god," and so the man-made deity takes his leave. Steve is left pondering his next move when Hydra rises again….

Hail Hydra, Part 1
July 1944: Captain America and Bucky are reconnoitering Drache Castle in Germany with Trude Lohn, an agent of the German resistance to Hitler. She warns them that the Nazis are desperate and inside the Thule Society is working on Projekt Auferstehungs, rumored to be something unstoppable. The two Americans invade the castle and crash into a lab where they confront a team of scientists led by Dr. Geist. The heroes are shocked when an apparently dead man gets up from the floor and hits Bucky, then catches Cap’s shield and throws it back at him with superhuman force. Cap takes on the muscular foe and through sheer perseverance beats the man unconscious. Geist then reveals that his giant henchman, Erlking, is only one of a large team—who proceed to overpower and capture Cap and Bucky. When Cap awakens, Geist reveals that the project subjects are Nazi military heroes who died in the service of the Reich and have been raised from the dead. Geist also reveals he is no Nazi but a member of an occult society which has existed for millennia under various names and is now using Hitler as a tool in their quest for arcane knowledge. The Auferstehungs Corps is the tool of this enclave which is plotting to conquer the world with the living dead—and Cap will soon join them. Cap is forcibly injected with a chemical which will ensure his returns from the dead—then Trude Lohn enters shooting. A shot to the head seems to permanently kill Strega, one of the Auferstehungs, and Cap and Bucky join the battle. Lohn seizes the wounded Geist and tries to force him to reveal his secrets but she is impaled with a spear by a figure hidden behind a curtain (whom the reader will recognize as Baron Strucker). Strucker carries Geist off while Bucky hurls a grenade after them….
Epilogue: Members of the German resistance arrive to help in the mopping up operations. When they are alone, two of the agents are revealed to be working for Hydra—as Strega finally opens her eyes….

Hail Hydra, Part 4
In the crypt of the Red Immortals near Bucharest, Romania, a band of Hydra agents traps a female vampire and threatens to drive a stake through her heart unless she reveals the whereabouts of the one they seek. Suddenly a hero clad in red, white, and black appears and the Hydra minions try to capture him for Dr. Geist; the Captain (Steve Rogers, recently stripped of his role as Captain America) has been hunting for Geist. The Captain easily beats the masked madmen, prevents the vampire from preying on them, and prepares to interrogate them to find Geist….
Later The Cap meets with Nick Fury to lay out all the evidence that he has collected over the years of a Hydra scheme to achieve immortality. Fury reminds him that many other scientists—Pym, Richards, T’Challa, Strange—have reached dead ends attempting to verify this. Cap is still worried about having been injected with the Lazarus Formula during the War (seen in issue #1) and wants to know the enemy’s ultimate goal. Fury tells him that he cannot commit SHIELD resources to Cap’s quest—but covertly gives him a list of new Hydra labs. Fury trusts Cap’s judgment….
At a Hydra Base, Dr. Geist unveils the fruits of his millennia-spanning research to his superior, Baron Strucker: a huge and handsome warrior known as Der Unsterblich (the Immortal). The Ubermensch displays his powers by single-handedly slaughtering a team of Hydra agents and zombies ordered to kill him. While a success, Unsterblich is not their ultimate goal, which is creating, not an army of supermen, but a race of gods. For further research they need more of Captain America’s blood, and Strucker already has a plan in the works….
Cap works his way down the list, cleaning out Hydra bases and moving closer to Geist’s secret lab until he finally reaches a front company in New Jersey. He smashes down the door to find only one person there: Trude Lohn. His former ally, killed in issue #2, has been raised into a grotesque zombie form to deliver a message to Cap. Hydra wants two pints of Cap’s blood—or they will use the Lazarus Formula to raise all the dead in Arlington National Cemetery, an act of psychological terrorism which will traumatize America. Cap agrees to a meeting…
...after putting Trude out of her misery. He arrives at the Cemetery with the Falcon and Nick Fury. As they get into position, Cap is seized from behind by Der Unsterblich, as Hydra troops open fire on Falcon and Fury. Cap fights back but finds himself unable to hurt the Hydra superman. Stunned from the beating, Cap is easy prey for a gloating Dr. Geist who produces an enormous hypo, planning to take three quarts of the hero’s blood, leaving him just conscious enough to see the tragedy that will ensue. As the dead begin to dig their way out of their graves, Geist informs Cap that the news media has been notified and this horror will be the most documented event in history. But Cap disagrees…because Doctor Strange has cast an impenetrable shadow spell over the area that will prevent anyone outside of its range, witnessing what goes on here. Then the Avengers assemble and the fight is on. A single blow from Thor kills Der Unsterblich, and Cap tries to arrest Geist. The mad scientist however had obtained some of Cap’s blood and this was the only goal he had. Boasting of Hydra’s inevitable victory, Geist jets off into the night, with a promise that he will someday come looking for Captain America….

Hail Hydra, Part 2
Prologue: Mesopotamia, 2761 B.C.: the sorcerer-priest Lord Gidim (who resembles the Hydra scientist Dr. Geist) is summoned to a tomb and shown what appear to be the bones of the mighty king Gilgamesh. When he sees the glow of power they give off he is convinced they are genuine and takes them for his work….
At the grave of Bucky Barnes in Arlington National Cemetery, Steve Rogers meets with a now middle-aged Trude Lohn (issue #1) who places flowers on Bucky’s grave and fills in Cap on her activities since the War, mainly fighting Communists. Each then discovers they thought the meeting was called by the other…suddenly the trap is sprung as a grim figure bursts out of Bucky’s grave; it is Erlking, one of the immortal monsters created by Dr. Geist and Hydra. As Steve changes into his Captain America costume and fights the resurrected foe, he discovers that the rest of Geist’s Auferstehungs Corps of undead Nazis has them surrounded….
Interlude: At the temple of Athena in Phaselis, Lycia, 323 B.C.:, Lord Mormo (also resembling the grinning Geist) invades the tomb and makes off with a spear stained by the blood of the warrior-hero Achilles, ordering his men to slay the priests who object….
Back at Arlington, the other Avengers (Thor, Iron Man, Wasp, Giant-Man) suddenly appear as Cap had suspected a trap and asked them to wait out of sight. A full-out battle takes place as Geist and his superior Baron Strucker observe from a nearby hill. Their plan is proceeding well so they order their forces to withdraw. In the confusion, Trude Lohn is shot with a poisoned bullet. Later at Avengers Mansion, the heroes examine the body of a foe gunned down in the melee; the subject appears to have been dead for years, leading the heroes to speculate on the nature of the Hydra’s immortality. Cap gets an emergency summons to the hospital. He rushes to Trude’s bedside where the dying agent warns him of a secret society, bent on not merely conquering death but achieving godlike powers. Back at the Mansion, the dead enemy rises from the lab table and overpowers Giant-Man. When the others return they are met by Geist, in a high-tech battle-suit, and his undead henchmen. The villain tells Cap that he was injected with the Lazarus Pathogen many years earlier (issue #1) which is what enabled him to survive his apparent death in the War. Cap is now one of them….
Interlude: Ribe, Jutland, A.D. 710: Draugr (Geist again) unearths the bones of a giant and opens a sealed chest to recover a dart, the Arrow of Hoder who slew Balder, a weapon capable of killing a god. His goal: immortality….
In the ensuing battle, Iron Man is disabled with an E.M.P. from Geist and Thor is shot in the back with the Arrow of Hoder. The villains then inexplicably withdraw, leaving Cap with the feeling that they just lost….
Epilogue: At Hydra Headquarters, Baron Strucker berates Geist for revealing their presence and risking their Auferstehungs Corps in a sortie against the Avengers. Geist is unconcerned: he has achieved his goal. With the Arrow of Hoder they have obtained the blood of a god, along with that of Captain America. It is safely stored away, until the science of genetics has matured. Hydra has waited millennia for its project, it can wait a little longer….

When
the Madbomb went off, New York was plunged into violent madness and it took
Captain America and the Falcon to put a stop to it. The human toll was
staggering and the city needed a long time to recover. But in the slums of the
South Bronx, no help was forthcoming: the neighborhood just kept crumbling into
ruin and despair. Felix Waterhouse, a teenage tech prodigy whose brother died
in the incident, had to give up his dream of college to continue working in his
father’s TV repair shop. Then one day a representative of Advanced Idea
Mechanics (A.I.M.), having heard about Felix’s expertise with electronics,
stops by the shop to offer him a high-paying job with the firm, assuring Felix
that the stories he’s heard about A.I.M. being a supervillain organization are
exaggerated. Felix is skeptical and continues working in his father’s shop.
Then, when he hears Captain America on television talking about how “the nation
stands” while his neighborhood as been abandoned, he smashes the TV and accepts
the job offer with A.I.M. And so, Felix goes to work, finding it challenging
and rewarding. Then he is asked to look at a problem with their biggest
project—which he recognizes as a Madbomb. He accepts their assurances that they
have no intention of using it. After talking with his family about the original
incident, Felix goes into work quietly and sabotages the Madbomb to emit an
electronic feedback pulse but he is caught and about to be killed when he
triggers the pulse, which affects much of the area above A.I.M.’s lab under
Manhattan. Cap, Falcon, and Iron Man team up to invade the A.I.M. lab, defeat
the baddies, and rescue Felix….
A
few days later, Tony Stark arrives to offer Felix a job with his company; Felix
declines, seeing that as no different from his offer from A.I.M.; what they
need is for someone to fix the neighborhood. A short time later, Stark is
building in the area and Cap talks to Felix, thanking him for reminding Cap
that a broken world doesn’t need heroes…it needs repairmen….

After a very stressful run of events
making life difficult for Captain America, Sam Wilson decides to take
a night off, joining Joaquin (Falcon) Torres to take in a wrestling
match at Madison Square Garden. This one brings back several old
fighters from the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation to raise money for charity.  But it turns out Joaquin has invited another guest, Rage.
Sam and Elvin start to bicker about their differences but Joaquin
reminds them that they can unite for just one night in their love for
the sport....
Dennis “D-Man” Dunphy is one of the
performers in the show and he is worried about his age and weight.
Entering the ring, Dennis puts on his old act but then he meets his
mystery opponent: Lemar Hoskins a/k/a Battlestar. Unfortunately,
there is some bad blood between them: when Lamar was just starting
his wrestling career, Dennis was asked to take it easy on him, as he
was being groomed for stardom in the League. Dennis, however, in a
self-important mood, beat Lemar badly, ending the young fighter's
career before it had even started. And now Battlestar has a mean and
ugly look facing off against his one-time foe—and the battle is on.

Sam is startled to see Redwing in the
arena—and then he and Joaquin pick up what the bird is seeing (via
technology given them in issue #13). The event organizer, Jim Jay
McMayhew, and his henchmen are stealing the charity money raised that
night. Sam and Joaquin shout this to Dennis and he and Battlestar
jump out of the ring and take on the baddies. The battle is swift,
victorious...and “a helluva lot of fun” for the two wrestlers.

After the match, Dennis and Lemar talk
and the latter reveals he has no real grudge against Dennis, it was
just a part of the show. Sam looks back on the evening and is
grateful for the chance to join with people of all types uniting to
enjoy something that makes them happy.

The Serpent Society under the original Viper (Jordan Stryke,
returned from the dead) has reinvented itself as Serpent Solutions, offering to
do the dirty work that major Wall Street corporations need done but are
unwilling to do themselves—and any executive who has a conscience is eliminated
by the Serpents to keep business running smoothly….
The mysterious informer known as the Whisperer has filled new
Captain America Sam Wilson in on the company’s dirty dealings. Meanwhile, Sam
Cap has his own troubles: since being turned into Capwolf last issue by the
evil Dr. Karl Malus he is having trouble such as barking at noises, eating out
of garbage cans, howling at the moon…and shedding. They have called in Dr.
Claire Temple to deal with the problems: Redwing is now a vampire (bitten by
Baron Blood in ALL-NEW CAP #5-6) and Joaquin Torres has been transformed into a
bird-man. While Cap’s condition is temporary, Joaquin’s looks to be permanent
and he is enjoying the power of flight, annoying his keeper Misty Knight….
Looking for inside information on the Serpent Society, Cap
heads to the sleazy side of town to look up Diamondback (Rachel Leighton),
formerly a Society member turned hero for hire but now reduced to being an
exotic dancer. [On a golf course, Viper is reassuring a nervous client that he
has taken steps to deal with their Captain America problem.] A truck crashes
into where Cap and Diamond were sitting and it disgorges three Serpent agents:
Black Racer, Cottonmouth, and Constrictor. Rachel joins Sam in fighting them
off but she is knifed by Black Racer. A ferocious Cap takes them all out and
tends to Rachel’s wound—then she stabs him with a poisoned diamond. When he
recovers consciousness he finds he is a prisoner in the boardroom of Serpent
Solutions….

Sam Wilson, current Captain America, is still en route from
Phoenix to New York as he continues to review his recent history for his
annoying seatmates….
Six months ago, a hacker known only as The Whisperer leaked
SHIELD documents revealing the existence of a top secret program called Kobik,
using fragments of the Cosmic Cube to alter reality for national security
purposes. SHIELD Director Maria Hill issued a statement defending Kobik,
instead determining to identify The Whisperer. Captain America Sam Wilson
immediately denounced the project, demanding it be shut down. Former Cap Steve Rogers
publicly defended Sam’s right to define his mission as he sees fit. Steve
also declined to criticize Sam’s positions other than to go on record as also
opposing Kobik…. Afterward, Sam and Steve split, with Steve believing his
country would always do the right thing and Sam merely hoping. SHIELD tracked
down The Whisperer and Cap helped him get away, which the informant repaid with
secret information on Hydra’s doings (leading to the defeat of that group and
Sam’s break with SHIELD seen in issue #1)….
Now, Steve Rogers and a SHIELD team are asking Sam Cap to
stand down, while they arrest the Sons of the Serpent terrorists. The Serpents
fight back with a rocket launcher and Old Cap and New Cap stand together
against the baddies. A serpent takes one of the immigrants hostage, then uses a
short-range teleporter to get away. Steve criticizes Sam Cap for interfering
with an ongoing investigation; Cap takes off to follow up, sending a flock of
birds to mess on the SHIELD Agents….
Using his avian network, Cap trails the escaped Serpent to a
nearby diner—where he finds him palling around with his “hostage.” Cap
confronts them over the teleporter and the Armadillo enters, reveals that he
gave the teleporter to the terrorists, and immediately begins bashing Cap
around, accusing Cap of lying to him when he said he was going to help find a cure
for the misshapen monster. (Sam informs us that he tried but all the scientists
he talked to said a cure was impossible). Redwing shrieks, stunning Armadillo
so Cap can push him in front of a moving train (he doesn’t get hurt much). Cap
questions the phony hostage and learns that he and his cronies were hired to
procure males for scientific research in New York—and Sam recalls Misty Knight
and her anger that he had dragged her out to New Mexico when the real mystery
was in New York….
Now on the plane, Sam gets a message from The Whisperer
revealing that the bad guy behind the kidnappings is Dr Karl Malus. After
several people stop by to offer support for Sam, he puts his gear together,
activates the teleporter and he and Redwing fly away, leaving the jet behind….

Captain America (Sam Wilson) arrives in
Pleasant Hill and meets up with Bucky Barnes, Winter Soldier; they
compare notes and set out to find Steve Rogers. They come upon a
teacher being threatened by the Blood Brothers; the two heroes jump
into action but the teacher—SHIELD Agent Avril Kincaid—shoots
down the baddies, revealing this was to trick the Brothers into
taking her to Baron Zemo. For the back-up plan she sends them to shut
off the security at the local museum, which they do (kicking the
butts of the Circus of Crime) and in a moment of quiet they try to
establish more of a camaraderie—then Kobik appears (the Cosmic Cube
as a little girl) and calls them to help Steve who is in danger....
At the bowling alley, the elderly and
powerless Steve Rogers is being savagely beaten by Crossbones; as he
realizes he might easily die, his mind drifts back to his comrades
Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes as his own career as Captain America, and
back to recent events: When the brainwashed villains in Pleasant Hill
recovered their memories and revolted, he ministered to Maria Hill
who was seriously injured in the explosion at City Hall. Hill tried
to justify the creation of this prison and confesses that she was
hoping to be brainwashed there too, to overcome the darkness that she
has had to live with for so long.... Steve asks Zemo to allow him to
get her medical attention. Baron Zemo agrees only if one of the other
hostages takes her place; he selects a young man from the group and
swiftly decapitates him with a sword. Zemo then dispatches Steve and
Hill, escorted by the priest Father Patrick. On the way to the
infirmary, they come face-to-face with the Wrecking Crew; Father
Patrick sends Steve and Hill to safety then vanquishes the bad guys
with no effort. At the infirmary they find Dr. Eric Selvig. As the
doctor takes care of the injured Hill, Steve questions him as to the
whereabouts of Kobik; Selvig suggests the bowling alley which she
loved. Steve ignites an oxygen tank to escape Father Patrick and
dashes off. We learn that the priest is really the Red Skull.
Arriving at his destination, Steve tries to convince the
near-omnipotent little girl to accompany him to safety when
Crossbones arrives and attacks....

Synopsis: Scenes of Captain America's
WW2 mission against the German army with a huge demonic looking tank
are intercut with Cap attending a meeting of marketing executives who
telling Cap that the shield is not a good enough symbol of his
mission and that he should carry a massive weapon called the Amerigun
to win the publicity war against the enemy. Cap walks out, to their
surprise. And we see Cap kicking a massive bell out of a tower to
wreck the enemy tank while protecting the villagers—for which the
shield is a perfect symbol.

the star ballerina/defector during the performance. Steve spots the
assassins and takes them down. After the show he tells Natasha that

Senator Tom Herald is addressing an
audience in a Manhattan ballroom when agents of ULTIMATUM crash in
and take everyone hostage. The group's leader, Flag-Smasher, calls on
both Captains America to help him deal with enemies of peace and
liberty. Sam Cap and Steve Cap arrive and head up in the elevator
while Sharon Carter secures the area with SHIELD agents and has Rick
Jones monitor the building via computer.
When the Caps arrive in the ballroom,
Flag-Smasher lectures them on the growing influence of fascism and
nationalism as a threat to the world and asks them to join him in his
crusade. He reveals that seven bombs have been planted to destroy
restrictions on the flow of information. The first one will erase the
TSA's No-Fly List and to show he's serious a bomb detonates in the
room and kills a hostage. The two Caps start fighting the ULTIMATUM
soldiers as Flag-Smasher announces that the next data bomb will
decrypt America's nuclear launch codes (accompanied by the death of
another hostage); Rick Jones jumps to the task and is able to defeat
it just in time. Flag-Smasher then aims his gun at  Senator Herald;
Sam Cap hurls the shield—and misses. The villain calmly fires three
bullets into the Senator's chest, killing him. Flag-Smasher and his
minions depart via jet pack, leaving Sam to brood on his failure....
Steve Cap, agent of Hydra, returns to
his base where he explains to Erik Solveig how he maneuvered Sam Cap
so that his shield throw would miss. The plan is to have Sam be
crushed under the weight of the controversy and corruption around him
and “the country will break with him.”

Captain America Sam Wilson is having a
tough time. First, with the return of Steve Rogers, the calls for Sam
to resign as Cap are becoming even stronger. Then oil millionaire
Paul Keane creates a private police force called the Americops to
clean up crime, supported by Senator Tom Herald of Texas, who is also
a leader in the anti-Sam movement, despite charges that the Americops
are violating civil liberties....
Sam arrives at Mother Bethel A.M.E.
Church in Philadelphia for the funeral of James “Rhodey” Rhodes,
War Machine, who was recently killed in action. Misty Knight leads
him to a meeting with the other major heroes of African descent:
Black Panther, Brother Voodoo, Luke Cage, Nick Fury Jr., Spectrum
(Monica Rambeau), and Storm. After greetings, they fill Sam in on the
circumstances of Rhodey's heroic death and when they begin to debate
the issue of Ulysses, Sam shuts them down, wanting to know who will
speak. As it turns out, everyone was assuming he (Sam) would.
Outside, Misty convinces the reluctant Sam that he needs to give the
eulogy, offering hope that black children still have a role model in
the superhero community....
In costume, Sam addresses the assembled
mourners, describing Rhodey as a true hero, one who readily took on
the mantle of Iron Man when Tony Stark needed him, keeping his
identity a secret so as not to endanger the mission. And so he
inspired all of them to carry out the mission, stand by their friends
and to demonstrate what being a  hero really means....
In an inner city, a group of teens are
worried about the brutal presence of the Americops, then the
ex-Avenger Rage shows up to tell them they are going to start
fighting back....

An issue centering on Joaquin Torres,
the new Falcon, has Captain America (Sam Wilson) introducing him (to
remind the readers who he is) before going into the plot....
Right-wing/anti-Sam Cap TV host Harry
Hauser has as guest Ariella Connor, who has written a strongly
conservative book on illegal immigration. During the interview she
bashes Sam Cap and singles out the new Falcon as an example of a
law-breaking illegal. Joaquin is incensed at her remarks and when he
learns that she is speaking that night at Empire State University, he
is determined to complain to her face. This, of course, is against
Sam's advice. On his way downtown he runs into Rage and persuades him
to join the mission. Arriving at the college, they find a crowd of
protesters outside....
Sneaking in through a back door,
Joaquin heads for the stage to confront Ariella Connor. At this
point, a bomb is thrown at Connor and Joaquin throws himself on her
for protection. The grenade came from  the Bombshells, a left-wing
terrorist group wanting to kill Connor for her views. Falcon and Rage
defeat the baddies and Cap arrives, praising their efforts. But
Ariella Connor condemns them on her newscast, ignoring Falcon saving
her life. Joaquin is mad at Connor and at Cap who seems to want him
to appreciate Cap's position now. Joaquin leaves but Sam asks Rage to
stay behind a moment. Sam tells Rage about learning to compromise
with age and thanks him for pushing him into a confrontation with the
Americops....
On the way home, Rage comes upon Speed
Demon and Man Mountain Marko robbing a pawn shop and fights them.

Having rescued Captain America from Serpent Solutions (the former Serpent Society),
Joaquin Torres now finds himself surrounded by the Serpents. Cap is still
paralyzed by venom (and still a werewolf) and cannot help Joaquin against the
foes. To rattle the young hero, Viper goes into a rant about how Joaquin's
wings were given to him by Dr Karl Malus (issue #3) who was working for Serpent
Solutions, therefore Joaquin is stealing their intellectual property—and then
he orders the Serpents to attack. Joaquin runs, then Cap realizes that if he
and Joaquin both share a psychic bond with Redwing, then Cap can direct
Joaquin's battle using the falcon as a conduit. With Cap calling the shots, the
boy starts holding his own against his foes; as the fight is televised,
commentators start weighing in with their opinions on how this battle will
affect the economy and the stock market. Suddenly, the Serpents overcome their
lone foe and Cottonmouth bites the kid's face off (ick!)--but Joaquin has a
healing factor and is quickly back in the brawl. Then Diamondback switches
sides, followed by the arrival of Misty Knight, and D-Man soon shows up in a
dune buggy to the sounds of Credence Clearwater Revival. By now Cap's paralysis
has worn off and they make short work of the Serpents.
Cap returns the beaten Viper to his corporate masters and
reveals he has proof that these CEOs and corporate fatcats knew full well what
Serpent Solutions was doing and chose to look the other way. A spokesman for
the rich guys tells Cap that sending them to prison would destroy the economy.
A little thought tells Cap that he is correct: their arrests would cause their
corporations to fail throwing thousands if not millions out of work. Cap
decides to take only the spokesman to jail and threatens the others if they do
not keep his company running. This does not sit well with Joaquin—nor with the
news media which mostly concentrates on trying to pull a scandal out of his
meeting with Diamondback (issue #4)....
Cap is now back to normal and Misty and D-Man have a surprise for him: Joaquin
in a uniform (with Redwing) introduces himself as the new Falcon.

Over the past few issues, Sam Wilson
has been having a hard time being Captain America, so Misty Knight
has arranged for Sam to go on a weekend road trip with his brother
Gideon. She gets a call from Claire Temple, telling her that Callie
Ryan—Lady Stilt-Man—is in the hospital. Misty goes over to see
her and Callie tells her that her biggest problem is a phony sex tape
circulating on the internet, and no one will believe her when she
claims it is an impostor. Misty vows to help her....
With some research on the internet,
Misty discovers there is an entire industry of sex tapes and photos
featuring female super heroes and villains. She consults expert
hacker Rick Jones who uncovers a huge and invisible organization.
Studying the tapes, Misty is able to uncover the identity of the man
in Callie's tape. She beats up on the hood named Morty, who tells her
it was an LMD (Life Model Decoy) of Callie and the guy who arranged
it all was the Miami crime boss known as the Slug....
Misty packs her bags, including Cap's
shield, and flies to Florida. There, the Slug is meeting with his
customers, unveiling his new line of A-list superheroines (She-Hulk,
Storm, Medusa, and others) with the stipulation they tape the sex
activities for blackmail purposes. Misty's arrival scares off the
Slug's clients and the gangster orders his LMD superheroines to
attack. Misty kicks them to pieces and then flings Cap's shield to
shoot down the Slug in his rocket powered platform as he escapes.
After using some robotic sharks to scare the baddie, Misty calls the
Coast Guard to pick up the Slug....
Misty then travels the country, hunting
down and punishing those who helped distribute the sex tapes and
returns to New York. Sam returns from his trip and he and Misty get
all romantic....

At the scene of the Americops riot,
USAgent is battling Captain America (Sam Wilson) to take the shield
from him. As they battle in the streets, right-wing radio host Harry
Hauser denounces Sam Cap to his listening audience as not worthy of
the shield. Sam suddenly pops his wings and flies the Agent into a
tunnel where he has the advantage of seeing in the dark, thanks to
his connection with owls and is there able to defeat his opponent.
Sam tells USAgent that Steve Rogers supports him and he trusts Steve.
The Agent gives him a cynical look and says “You never know as much
as you think you do”....
Sam Cap goes back to where Rage was
dumped on a tower and Rage denounces Cap as a sell-out, counseling
patience and inaction for his people in a time of crisis. Sam heads
to surgery where Dr. Claire Temple implants a Stark-made device in
his head, one which will (as Tony explains) transmit the psychic info
Sam receives from birds and  convert it into still images and video,
making Sam the router for the biggest surveillance in the world.

Sam records a message for the
public—that his new ability will allow him to oversee the actions
of the Americops and respond as needed. He signs off, USAgent's last
words ringing in his head: “You never know as much as you think you
do”....
A flashback explains that comment:
earlier when Americops CEO Paul Keane, Harry Hauser, and Senator Tom
Herald were trying to convince him to fight Sam Cap for the shield,
Walker was not going along with them. Then Captain America Steve
Rogers revealed himself and asked Walker to take on the job of
defeating Sam Cap....

Captain America (Sam Wilson) describes
how he tried to take a stand when Rage (Elvin Haliday) was arrested
and falsely accused of robbery by posting film of his treatment by
the Americops. Sam pleads with Elvin to let them help him with a
smart lawyer, but Elvin refuses, wanting to make his ordeal a cause.
Elvin walks into court with an overworked and clueless public
defender against a hostile “law and order” judge and an
aggressive prosecutor while right-wing news commentator Harry Hauser
stirs up the public against him. The prosecution's case is strong and
focused while the defense is made up mainly of character witnesses
including Sam Cap. To his shock the video of the arrest is ruled as
inadmissible by the judge because of its dubious origin. Sam walks
out and hunts down a witness for the defense; by talking to the
Punisher and other shady characters, Cap is able to locate and
capture Speed Demon, one of the real robbers Rage is taking the fall
for. When he arrives back at the courthouse with his captive, though,
Misty Knight tells him that the trial is over and Rage was found
guilty....
The news breaks around the world, but
all that's left is the fallout...an inner city boy paints his face to
look like Rage's mask, sneaks out of the house at night, and hurls a
firebomb at a bank where it explodes....

Joaquin Torres relates how he saved Captain America's life.
First he tells us his background: he came to the USA over the border when he
was a child. As an adult he was captured by the Sons of the Serpent and
delivered to Dr. Karl Malus who performed bizarre genetic experiments on him,
turning him into a literal bird-man. Now he has been rescued and is kept under
restraint in a New York clinic, guarded by Dennis Dunphy, the D-Man....
Here Joaquin's tale is interrupted by a flashback exploring
Diamondback's recent history in light of her return to the series last issue:
Rachel Leighton was engaged to Frank Payne, the former Constrictor, when he
fell ill. Frank had no medical insurance so they could not afford the latest
experimental treatments; Rachel vowed to get the money but she could not bring
herself to return to crime. And so Frank died. Desperate for cash, Rachel took
a job as a stripper and that is where she encountered Jordan Stryke, the Viper.
With his persuasive abilities, Viper talked Rachel into rejoining the Serpent
Society...
...and now Captain America (Sam Wilson, still in wolf form
since issue #3) is a prisoner of the Serpent Society, bound to a chair in their
boardroom. Viper launches into a cynical defense of their villainous activities
in a sort of homage to Ayn Rand (as Cap recognizes) and Cap defies them.
Meanwhile, Misty Knight has come to the rescue, arriving downstairs and she
takes on a cadre of snake hooded guards. Upstairs, with a typical bad guy quip
Viper hurls Cap, chair and all out the window to his death....
Joaquin resumes his narrative at this point. While watching
TV with D-Man, Joaquin had a premonition that Cap was in danger. He realizes
that as Cap's trained falcon Redwing was used in Malus' experiment, he has
inherited Redwing's psychic link. Decoying Dennis out of the room, Joaquin
tears himself free from his restraints (he heals quickly) and flies out through
the window. He races through the air across the city to catch the plummeting
Captain America in the nick of time. Unfortunately, Joaquin is still not used
to his wings and they crash into a construction site. Joaquin is proud of his
heroism—until Cap points out that the whole Serpent Society is standing behind
him....

In the wake of the Pleasant Hill

trying to blow out the candle on a birthday cake. He can''t so he
shoots it with a repulsor ray, which really wasn''t the solution
either....
Supreme Hydra Steve Rogers announces to

Wakanda and New Tian, casting them both as aggressors and his
response as justice....
Kraken, Hive, and Viper lead the
invasion of New Tian; their secret ruler Emma Frost agrees to
negotiate a ceasefire with Steve Rogers, turning over their Cosmic
Cube fragment as a gesture of goodwill—but they will never
surrender....
Black Panther, leading the defenses of

When they arrive they find the prisoners are already rising up
against the guards, thanks to a new inmate: Barf. Brian McAllister
(as he prefers to be called) has the ability to vomit anything he can
visualize—in this case, the guards'' keys. Tony Stark has an idea
and asks Brian if he can disgorge a working fragment of the Cosmic
Cube—and Brian can. Later, after Tony has tested it—by “wishing”
for a birthday cake and being given one by a refugee child—he
reveals that a fragment of the Cube has limited power in itself,
realizing that Steve Rogers survived his encounter with Spider-Man
(in SECRET EMPIRE #7) by the same means. He and Sam start making
plans to use it to obtain more fragments—and take the fight to
Hydra''s doorstep....
In Atlantis, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner is frustrated
