We Take Care of Our Own
The whole country’s talking about the new Captain America, former Falcon Sam Wilson. Cap is winging his way over the city, keeping an eye on the streets but something is wrong. This Cap has been distorted by the events of Axis; he stops a robbery by hurling his shield to cause the fleeing crooks to crash into a wall. Indifferent to the pain and damage he’s caused, he flies on, sneering at the concept of human rights….
At the Mighty Avengers headquarters in the old Gem Theater, Spider-Man walks in—and Luke Cage orders him out. Spidey stammers through an apology/explanation of his being replaced by the Superior Spider-Man but Cage already knows about that and still blames Spidey for Doc Ock’s threatening his child (MA 2013 series #5) and wants him out….
Jason Quantrell, CEO of Cortex Incorporated, is presiding over a board meeting when it is rudely interrupted by the Plunderer and his gang of land-pirates crashing through the windows. The villain demands all of their money…so he can give it to the starving orphans. This surprises his crew but after a few moments of thought they come around to his plan. Suddenly Cap enters and beats them all mercilessly and takes off. During the fight, Quantrell was taking a call from Luke Cage, hoping to do some kind of deal….
Sam Cap heads to Avengers Tower where he meets with the hologram of Tony Stark to work on their joint project: destroying the Mighty Avengers….

Bad News and Worse News
Steve Rogers addresses the Mighty
Avengers informing them that a) the multiverse is dying as all the
various worlds crash into one another and b) the Illuminati have
known about this for some time and were keeping it a secret. Steve
had tried to warn the Illuminati against merely destroying the
parallel Earths, killing billions but they mind-wiped him and tossed
him out. Kaluu approves of that course, making Steve angry. Steve
walks out, determined to stop the Illuminati and asks the Mighty
Avengers to decide which side they are on....
The secret of the imminent demise of
the Earth becomes public knowledge; the comic provides us with a
gallery of responses from various parties including the UN, Ruby
Neal, the White House, right-wing TV, Peter Corbeau,
Soraya Khorasani, and conspiracy theorists....
As the days tick down, White Tiger goes
to visit her family to reconcile with them and she is driven away,
literally at gun point....
Spectrum calls a special meeting of the
Mighty Avengers and they vote to join Steve Rogers against the
Illuminati....
The final battle between the two sides
takes place in Cadiz, Spain. After it is over, Blue Marvel confronts
Mr Fantastic and Black Panther. He blames Reed for the disaster by
being too secretive and not opening up to all the other heroes,
effectively preventing the saving of the world. Reed and T'Challa are
insulted; they stand by their decision and depart. Spectrum stops
Reed, insisting that he is the one who doesn't understand; the
Illuminati have failed and it is up to everyone else to pick up the
pieces...if anyone survives....

Kick ‘Splode
Having discovered that the Beyond
Corporation's hostile treatment of her was real, Spectrum heads to
the Cortex Corporation HQ and in seconds searches the building to
find it empty. In the basement she discovers the portal which drew
the Beyond being to our world. In the penthouse office she finds the
Beyond-controlled Jason Quantrell and wants to have a talk with
him....
Across town, Captain America (Sam
Wilson) faces the mutated monsters that were once Quickfire,
She-Hulk, Kaluu, White Tiger, and Power Man. He decides to take out
the most dangerous one—Quickfire—first, so he distracts her with
his shield while he leaps to kick her in the face. As he faces the
others, a portal opens up and Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are on the
scene to aid him....
Blue Marvel, his son
Dr. Positron, and Spider-Man arrive via one of Marvel's portable portals.
Upstairs, Spectrum faces “Jason” who sends he back briefly to
being an invalid, cared for by her mother. Monica breaks free of his
taunting and transforms into a massive energy being—who is still
not strong enough to stop him. Then Beyond realizes what she is
doing: providing a distraction. He blinks down to the basement where
Blue Marvel and Dr. Positron are working on the portal. Beyond takes
out Spidey by making him think he has been elected President of the
United States by people who think he is still Otto Octavius the
Superior Spider-Man—and he is addressing the nation in his
underwear. The villain turns to the others and Blue Marvel springs
his trap: by working together he and Max have opened up a gateway to
the Neutral Zone—and his trapped son Kevin is able to step through,
seize “Jason” and drag him back into the other world. Marvel and
Monica admire one another's abilities....
Elsewhere, Cap,
Luke, Jessica are surprised that the monsters have returned to their
normal identities....
At Mighty
Avengers HQ, Soraya Khorasani takes a call from Steve Rogers, looking
for help....

the world, Luke Cage prepares to shut down the Mighty Avengers but he
is interrupted by a call summoning him to the final confrontation. As
President Barack Obama addresses the nation, the assembled heroes of Earth
-616 fly into battle against the forces of Earth-1610....
We see that earlier, She-Hulk confided
in Spectrum, concerned that the coming battle would require her to
kill people, something she had never done; Spectrum comforted her.
When the time comes, Spectrum turns into her living light form and
heads toward the other Earth to destroy it before it can destroy
hers; she hesitates—and is trapped inside and energy-opaque field,
courtesy of The Maker a/k/a Ultimate Reed Richards....
At Mighty Avengers HQ, Ruby Neal takes
off to be with her kids for the final moments. David Griffith tells
Soraya Khorasani she can leave but she fields a

stay on the phone with him until the last moment....
As the last hour
winds down, the heroes do what they can and do what they have
to...and in the end, that was enough....
For the final two
minutes, a doctor speaks t the reader who is carrying a Mighty
Avengers membership card. The doctor shows “us” his own card and
reminds us that “at the end of the world, we all meant something.
We all counted.” And they watch the coming apocalypse through the
window.

All the Pretty Monsters
In a lonely hotel room, a young woman named Tatiana pens a letter to the Black Widow, thanking her for trying to save her but regrets that the Widow was wrong about her….
The Black Widow and Sharon Carter, dressed in the height of fashion, arrive at the Doughty Arts center in New York City, in response to Tatiana’s letter. They bicker over whether Natasha is reading the note correctly as a plea for help, or whether she had misjudged the young woman. Sharon reports in to Steve Rogers to bring him (and the reader) into the picture: they are attending an event for a charity group called Lifeline, which rescues poor girls from poverty and provides an elite education—but their true goal is rather mysterious. Inside, the head of Lifeline, Lady Alicia Wells, opens the graduation ceremony by ordering the room locked down, and the "girls" take the audience of powerful but shady characters hostage at gunpoint. Lady Alicia explains that Lifeline is actually a front and a recruiting organization for her real business: L.A.S.S.E.S. (Lady Alicia’s Sweet Sixteen Executioner’s School) a band of sexy assassins. She then reveals her enemy, the Black Widow, in the audience and takes her and Sharon hostage. She has the audience drink a toast to the death of the Black Widow, then informs them that they have been poisoned and that the antidote will cost them each one million dollars. Former renegade Tatiana is brought forward and her background revealed: she was an agent who fled the group and tried to make a new life with a foster family but poisoning her dog soon brought her back to the team. Tatiana is now ordered to kill the Widow to demonstrate her loyalty but instead she turns the gun on Lady Alicia—but before she is forced to make a decision, Sharon seizes a weapon from a guard and shoots down the evil mastermind. Chaos breaks out as the panicked poison victims revolt against the beauteous guards; Sharon tosses the antidote to the crowd while the Widow calms the nervous female killers. Tatiana is returned to her foster home and given a new dog by the two Avengers, who head off bickering.

(No title given)
Story continued from CAPTAIN AMERICA:
SENTINEL OF LIBERTY #6
In
1922, several figures meet on a battlefield of the recent World War. They are
Prince Wulf Fortunov of Latveria, billionaire Etien Argent, Wakandan engineer
Ika Agboje, and an underground artist known only as Ana. Fortunov, who has
brought Serbian assassin Gavrilo Princip with him, has a proposal. As Ana draws
a diagram resembling Captain America’s shield, Fortunov outlines a plan for an
Outer Circle manipulating the nations of the world, not as a conspiracy but a
game, with a hero at the center. The others are intrigued and agree to this
proposal. Princip denounces this madness, a small band of oligarchs plotting to
ruin the twentieth century. Fortunov then explains the Princip is not a witness
but the fifth member of the Outer Circle. Fortunov calls himself The Power, Argent
The Money, Agboje The Machine, Ana The Love, and Princip will be The Revolution,
working to tear the others down. And so begins the Century Game….
One
hundred years later, with the death of Princip, Winter Soldier James Buchanan
Barnes is The New Revolution. As they welcome the first new player since the
game began, Bucky pulls out his guns and starts shooting but they are protected
by some sort of invisible shield. He morphs his metal arm into a spike and
leaps up but The Machine wraps him in her metal tentacles and holds him in his
chair. They talk over business, rebuilding the Shadow Capitol, Steve Rogers has
a decryption key, only one Starpoint remains, and other matters….
Bucky
returns to his room and the cat. Ana visits him, explains a little more of the
Game and offers him a present, Rene Magritte’s final work of art: a sculpture
of a revolver with the barrel turned back toward the wielder. Bucky assumes it
is called Revolution and, rejecting the pessimistic implication, describes
himself as one who has a history of losing but always hoping for redemption.
The cat bites Ana and she advises Bucky to learn a lesson from the cat, a best
friend until she’s not….
Meanwhile
in London, Bucky contacts Dryad (Peggy Carter), the last Starpoint, explains that he is now part of
the Outer Circle, and wants her to help him flip the table….
Bucky
takes his place at the (literal) table and the next round of the game begins,
with Bucky saying, “Sharon Carter to Captain America….”
Story
continues in CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY #7.

Call of Duty (Part 3 of The Von Strucker Gambit)
1. “The Origin of Captain America”
Creators unidentified.
Synopsis: Brief rehearsal of Cap's
origin, with portrait of the regular cast by Ron Lim.2. “Call
of Duty” (Part 3 of The Von Strucker Gambit) 3/5
Writer: D.G. Chichester. Pencils: Mike
Manley. Inks: Rick Parker. Colors: Ed Lazzelarri.
Synopsis: [At the beginning of the
3-part story, three genetic experiments escape from Hydra's labs and
Baron von Strucker dispatches a trio of bounty hunters to recapture
or destroy them. The first pair of hunter and hunted encountered
Daredevil, the second met the Punisher and those two parts were
resolved.]
Captain America takes the call to head
to a genetics lab where a sinister figure has broken in.  He arrives
to find the feral Cassandra Romulus, tearing into a guard. Cap fights
her off but must abandon the chase to apply first aid to the wounded
guard. This gives her the chance to enter the lab's morgue and make
off with two severed hands before escaping. Nick Fury arrives,
anxious to capture Romulus for her part in the deaths of 1500 SHIELD
agents....
Cap consults a Dr. Fishman to analyze
some tissue residue Romulus left on Cap's shield. It indicates that
she is part of a Super-Soldier project on Hydra's part—and the
stolen hands would be part of a cure. They do not know that Romulus
is perched outside the window, listening to their conversation—until
a bullet fired by Hydra bounty hunter Dakini propels her through the
window and into the room. She pleads with Dr Fishman to make her
human again while Cap heads out after Dakini. The hero and his quarry
end up sparring while hanging to a wire—which Romulus cuts sending
them to the alley below. Romulus, with the cure Fishman gave her,
appears and brutally injures the bounty hunter; Cap offers her the
chance to use her cure and get her life back. Fury is outraged that
Cap would let her go but he ignores the SHIELD boss and rushes Dakini
to the hospital....
Epilogue: Romulus returns to Baron von
Strucker at Hydra HQ and here it is revealed that the whole hunt for
the genetic experiments was part of a larger gambit to update Hydra's
data banks on Captain America, Daredevil, and Punisher. Strucker
praises Romulus or her convincing act of wanting to be cured and he
destroys the antidote; meanwhile we realize she wasn't acting....

3. “Brothers” 2/5
Writer: Mark Gruenwald. Pencils: Don
Heck. Inks: Rick Parker. Colors: M. Hands.
Synopsis: In jail, Bushmaster of the
Serpent Society (arrested in CAP #385) looks back over his life: Back
on the island, young Quincy McIver grew up in the shadow of his
delinquent older brother, John. When they grew older, John got Quincy
a job with a gang, unloading cocaine from a ship; they were caught
and Quincy, attempting to swim away underwater, lost all four limbs
to a police boat propeller. John, now calling himself Bushmaster,
walked out of Quincy's life forever. Shortly thereafter, Quincy was
approached by Seth Voelker of Roxxon Corporation, offering him a set
of prosthetic limbs to replace his lost ones. Quincy jumped at the
chance but after surgery he was horrified to discover they had given
him a serpent's tail instead of legs. Now he considers himself a
freak and when his lawyer enters to tell him he's free, Quincy has no
idea where to go or what to do....
4. “Forgive Us Our Trespasses” 3/5
Writer: Mark Gruenwald. Pencils: James
Brock. Inks: Don Hudson. Colors: Nel Yomtov.
Synopsis: Learning that King Cobra will
stand trial for his crimes, Seth “Sidewinder” Voelker muses on
their history: how he founded the Serpent Society, building a strong
criminal union, how the others betrayed him, leading to him turning
the reins of the organization over to Cobra, how he saved Diamondback
from execution for treason by the gang. Now he fears the Serpents'
reprisal and debates whether to set them free. On impulse he
teleports into the Vault and frees Cobra, transporting him outside.
Unable to take him any farther he considers them even. Then Cobra
debates matters in his head and decides that the safest alternative
is to surrender to the Guardsmen and return to prison, vowing revenge
against Sidewinder....
5. “Worth Fighting For” 3/5
Writer: Fabian Nicieza. Pencils: Larry
Alexander. Inks: Tim Dzhon. Colors: Nel Yomtov.
Synopsis: Trudging through the snow in
the Canadian north, Nomad (Jack Monroe) is pursued by wolves. It
looks bleak until another figure arrives, frightens off the wolves
with a shotgun and drags the unconscious Jack to a cabin. We learn
that the rescuer is a woman, a single mom with a young son Billy.
While they are ministering to Jack's needs, they discover baby Bucky
in a carrier on his chest. When he awakens, they exchange stories,
Jack on his way to Seattle, the woman on the run after killing her
abusive husband. Jack notes that he, she, and the wolves were only
protecting their own. They don't know if they can trust Jack but they
send him off with supplies and a map.

Blood of a Fighter
San Juan, Puerto Rico: aspiring fighters and best friends Roberto Velasquez and Manuel Torres like to spar at Trini’s Gym while dreaming of boxing careers in the United States. While he is a fierce and gifted fighter, Roberto’s handicap is his small stature and there is no future in the bantamweight class. He is approached by a shady character named Armando Aviles who assures him that he can be a great fighter…with the help of Aviles’ "techniques." Roberto refuses at first, suspecting these techniques involve some sort of drug but Aviles wears him down….
After traveling to Miami and submitting to an intense process overseen by the creepy Dr. Malus, Roberto feels no different. The real test comes in the boxing ring: a match is arranged for Roberto to fight a seasoned boxer named Emilio Garzon. Garzon takes an early lead but suddenly Roberto goes berserk in the ring, hammering his opponent mercilessly. After the match he is stunned to learn that Garzon has died from the beating. A shocked and angry Roberto refuses to have anything more to do with Aviles. In revenge, Aviles arranges for Roberto’s friend Manny to complete in a match against one Rico Lazar. But Lazar has had the treatment too and savagely pummels Manny until Roberto leaps into the ring to stop it. Aviles offers Roberto one last chance to return to the fold and when the young fighter refuses, Aviles shoots him and has his men dump the body in a swamp. But the treatment enables Roberto to heal from his wounds and he escapes from the swamp vowing revenge. He assembles a boxing costume with a mask and, calling himself The Bantam, pays a call on Aviles. He bursts into the gangster’s hotel room and the bodyguards shoot at him and hit their boss instead. In the struggle the guards accidentally kill each other too. The Bantam leaps from the window and gets away, wondering what his future holds.

Deathwatcher!
Late at night, Captain America is swimming toward a Coast Guard cutter anchored off Governor Island. The ship has been hijacked by the Constrictor who is threatening to turn its guns on New York City unless he receives ten million dollars ransom. Cap quietly boards the ship and takes down the villain’s guards. He confronts Constrictor and engages him in battle—which is interrupted when the ship explodes. The military storms the ship and the baddies are taken into custody. Not far away, the leader of a team of divers reports to his mysterious boss over the radio; the unseen mastermind is disappointed that the cameras did not clearly capture the expressions of the drowning victims clearly enough—but the bombing of the ship did achieve the purpose of saving the city. Meanwhile, Cap reports to the police that he has no idea where the explosion came from—then puts it to the back of his mind as he hurries home to meet an art deadline….
Ken Hanson, leader of the team which planted the bomb reports to his employer, Mr. Samson Scythe. Scythe is a young though frail man, confined to a wheelchair and seated in a room full of monitors. Hanson aides Scythe with his medical treatment and assures him that all is ready for the next day’s project….
Steve Rogers arrives at a prestigious ad agency for an interview. The lady executive likes what she sees but rejects Steve when he declines her romantic overtures. Such are the 1980s…. Meanwhile, at a downtown restaurant, gangster Carlo Ferrini is celebrating his birthday at a huge bash. When he carves the turkey he receives a shock—literally. The bird has been wired and Ferrini is electrocuted as Samson Scythe watches via concealed cameras. Ferrini’s gang suspects his chief rival Sean Gamble of the death trap. Captain America drops by the police station where Sean Gamble agrees to cooperate with the police in setting a trap for the real killers….
Over the next several days, Cap keeps a hidden eye on Gamble, waiting for the mystery villain to make his move. One night, as Gamble approaches an elevator, Cap has a premonition and crashes through the skylight. Bodyguards, mistaking Cap’s intentions, accidentally push Gamble into the elevator shaft—where the bottom has been outfitted with a bed of spikes. Cap saves Gamble from falling but drops into the shaft himself, only his shield swiftly placed beneath him preventing a gruesome death. Surveillance cameras discovered in the shaft give the police a lead on the villain. Elsewhere, a disappointed Samson Scythe conceives a new plan….
The next day, Steve is out cycling with his girlfriend Bernie Rosenthal when he hears reports of a bank robbery over the radio. Challenging her to a race, Steve quickly diverts from the path, changes into Captain America, and rushes to the scene of the robbery. Once there, he quickly subdues three gang members but the fourth Ken Hanson leads him on a chase through the streets—and into a trap in the rear of a truck. There he is captured and brought before Samson Scythe who recounts his sad history. A spoiled rich kid, Scythe soon became bored with a life of luxury and enlisted in the Army to seek thrills; eventually he was assigned to a tour of duty in Vietnam where he found that witnessing deaths exciting him as nothing else did. Returning to America and a life of boredom, his health declined and he became an invalid. Old Army buddy Ken Hanson came for a visit and suggested an unusual treatment for his boredom: Hanson would commit murders and film them for Scythe to watch from his home—but only those who deserved it would die. They started small, with Hanson gunning down muggers, then the schemes became more elaborate—and now Scythe is wondering, what would it be like to watch a hero die? Cap bursts his bonds but Scythe and Hanson, their getaway prepared, escape….
Cap soon arrives at Scythe’s mansion—only to find the place littered with death traps; he fights off robot dogs in the garden, escapes a room filling with sand, and on the roof overcomes statues that emit deadly sonic waves. Entering the villain’s control room Cap is met by Hanson wielding a flame thrower. In the fracas, the whole room is set on fire and Cap manages to rescue Hanson from the blaze. Scythe, however, ends his mad career by watching himself burn to death via video monitor….

You Are What You Eat (Part 1 of The Terminus Factor)
A new volcano has come to life in Washington State. Tony Stark takes command of the investigation; he orders Persephone-1, a research capsule bearing Dr. Ramona Napier and Captain America, dropped into the boiling magma. Far below an odd egg-shaped mechanism bursts open, releasing a mass of glowing particles. The swarm rises upward and rings Persephone-1, blinding Cap and Ramona and causing her to lose control of the capsule and it sinks to the bottom of the crater. When the surface team loses contact with the capsule, Tony Stark excuses himself and dons his Iron Man armor in the woods. Cap manages to arrest the descent allowing Shellhead to locate it quickly and push it to the surface; Cap scoops up the unconscious Ramona and breaks through the jammed hatch, carrying her to safety. Meanwhile, the glowing particles have fallen into the river nearby and are eaten by trout, causing their eyes to glow. A band of locals then fishes in that river for the upcoming fish fry….
Later the heroes are the guests of honor at the town’s annual Trout Festival. Everyone has a good time, though Cap and Ramona are too queasy to eat anything. The first sign of trouble comes when the Mayor’s eyes start to glow and he acts like a snarling animal, launching himself at Cap. The hero easily subdues the madman but Cap and Ramona then find that many of the townspeople are acting in the same fashion. Cap calls to Iron Man for help, but Tony, having also partaken of the fish, fires his repulsor rays at them. The crowd has turned mindlessly violent and Cap barely has time to rescue a boy from electrocution when a man rips out high voltage wires in his mad rage, killing himself. Cap deposits the boy in a barrel of ice that held soft drinks and turns to face Iron Man, who is the most serious threat. The Living Legend of World War 2 hurls his shield and hits his friend in the armored jaw stunning him; the mad mob then swarms all over Iron Man, giving Cap an idea. The boy seems to be back to normal, so Cap orders Ramona into the helicopter and they take to the air. Iron Man repels the mob and pursues the chopper, firing blasts at it until it crashes down on the snowy mountain peak. Cap and Ramona emerge to see that Iron Man is right behind them, with the townspeople marching after him. Cap challenges Iron Man to attack him, and then has a rough time dodging his friend’s repulsor ray blasts. Shellhead punches and shocks his ally as Cap eggs him on, driving him into an even greater rage. Finally Cap flings his shield directly in Tony’s face and he responds by punching Cap off the edge of a cliff then dropping a rock on him. As he watches his former ally plummet, suddenly Iron Man reverts to normal and swoops down to rescue Cap. Cap explains that the townspeople were somehow turned insane by eating the fish (and Ramona links it to the glowing mass seen earlier) and they were attracted to energy sources, but cold overcame the effects of the contaminated fish. So Cap used the chopper to lure Iron Man to the top of the snow-covered mountain, figuring rightly that the townspeople would follow and he waited for the cold to work (which it did)….
Meanwhile, down river, a bear which had eaten some of the trout earlier slaughters a deer, its eyes glowing with fire….Story continues in IRON MAN ANNUAL #11.

The Thing from the Black Hole Star!
The story opens in the middle of danger: Captain America is attacked by a huge purple alien while investigating a UFO that has landed in a farmer’s field. The farmer, Jim Hendricks, picks up an alien weapon and blasts the attacker, who falls dead then fades out completely. Hendricks, who called Cap after seeing him on a talk show discussing UFOs, explains that the ship came from a black hole. How does he know? The pilot is at the farmer’s home. Meanwhile, out in space, the creature’s controllers, who sent the Stalker to capture the ship’s pilot, decide to send the deadlier Combatron. Cap talks to the frightened alien pilot, who resembles a human being, calling himself the Captive, explaining how he managed, after a million years, to escape from the black hole which was his prison, and now his captors are trying to take him back. The Combatron arrives and Cap manages to elude its deadly weaponry as well as a heat ray fired from the warship in orbit, until he can decoy the ray into destroying his fearsome opponent. Discovering the telephones have been cut off, Cap and Hendricks try to drive the Captive to safety but a heat blast destroys the car. As the Captive and Hendricks run for safety to the former’s ship, Cap sees a galactic assault ship disgorge dozens of Magnoid hunting robots. Spotted by his enemy, Cap manages to fight them off and take refuge in the Captive’s ship. There he receives a shock: Jim Hendricks is dead, drained of his life-force to power the Captive, who is a space parasite, justly imprisoned to protect the universe. The monster, last of a feared race, now plans to absorb all of Earth’s energy and continue to terrorize the galaxy. Cap tries to stop him but he is ineffective against an energy parasite; he barely manages to hold the creature at bay with his shield. The Magnoids arrive distracting the Captive so that Cap can bonk it with his shield, allowing the robots to seize and restrain it. The bound Captive is replaced in its ship which is flung to the farthest reaches of space, where it falls into the heart of a star about to go nova, destroying the threat forever. In an epilogue, Captain America reports the incident to a high-ranking government security committee, who decide to hush up the matter to preserve the sanity of mankind.

The Last Enchantment
Within a heavily guarded chamber inside the Project Pegasus research facility, the dormant Cosmic Cube suddenly flares into life….
In another galaxy, this is detected by powerful beings, normally enemies, who must unite to prevent the destruction of the universe. One of them readies to travel to Earth to investigate….
In rural Ohio, the alien mystic Aquarian (formerly Wundarr) becomes aware of the change in the Cube and flies to seek it out….
A renegade faction of Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.), the criminal scientific organization, locks on to the emission of the Cube, which they had long sought, and makes preparations to seize it. Their aircraft begin an all-out siege of Project Pegasus; the defenders hurriedly send out a call for help, which is picked up in New York by Captain America. The only Avenger available, Cap takes a Quinjet to the area, and detects Aquarian calmly walking through the nearby woods…carrying the Cosmic Cube. Cap approaches him and demands the Cube, despite the cosmic hippie’s claims that all is well and that the Cube itself asked him to carry it off. Cap seizes him and Aquarian drops the Cube, which is picked up by the A.I.M. ship which had been waiting for Aquarian to relinquish it. Cap pursues in his Quinjet while Aquarian has his own way to catch up. Cap follows A.I.M. to their secret base, flies past the outer defenses, and enters, crashing through the scientists until he barely reaches the Cube—then it vanishes into an opening in the floor. Cap then faces a cadre of armored guards with beam weapons and must defend himself with his shield—until the Aquarian suddenly appears and rescues him….
In a hidden chamber, the leader of this A.I.M. faction, Bernard Worrell, reminds his colleagues of the history and significance of the Cosmic Cube (unknown force trapped by MODOK in a cube, stolen by the Red Skull, lost then rediscovered by Thanos, apparently destroyed by Captain Mar-Vell, located and stored at Project Pegasus). Now Worrell plans to restore the Cube to its full power and use it to make a perfect world…. At this point Cap and Aquarian burst in and Worrell wields the Cube as a weapon to launch energy bolts. The anguished Cube reacts—and creates an advanced world of technology with Worrell floating above it like some neon god. When Cap and the Aquarian defy him, he attacks but his bolts cannot penetrate the mystic’s null-field. However, Worrell controls the entire new world, so the whole city becomes a weapon he wields. He has the floor and walls assault the heroes but the attacks are nullified by the Aquarian—so Worrell teleports the mystic to the mountains of Tibet. Alone, Cap carries on but the near-omnipotent scientist teleports Cap’s bones out of his body, leaving him a limp bag of muscle and sinew (yuck!) and turns Cap’s shield into a crab monster to feed on the hero—but he is unable to kill Cap. Cap senses that Worrell is actually afraid of the Cosmic Cube, so manages by sheer force of will to reverse the changes and confront the villain. In a panic Worrell commands the Cube again but it morphs into a tentacled blob that reacts with fear, sending shock waves through the New Earth and even piercing the mind of the Aquarian on the other side of the world. Lashing out with hate it changes Worrell into a lizard monster and the world now resembles a scene from the scientist’s nightmares. Cap appeals to Worrell to fight the turmoil in his brain but he can’t. The Cube-blob grows bigger and clobbers Cap. The Shaper of Worlds appears out of nowhere and comforts the panicked Cube, then restores reality to the way it was. Shaper reveals that the Cube is about to hatch…he goes on to explain how the Skrulls first developed a cosmic cube, which developed a twisted personality. It destroyed much of the Skrull galaxy before maturing into the Shaper of Worlds. Later the Kree wanted to create a cube but were forbidden to do so by the Supreme Intelligence, who implanted the knowledge of the cube in Rick Jones. Now at the crucial time the Supreme Intelligence has sent the Shaper to collect the Cube and nurture it until it hatches to insure that it will never become a destructive force. He was unwittingly aided in his mission by the Aquarian and Worrell who kept the Cube safe from super-villains. Now the Cube apologizes to its human hosts and the Shaper vanishes with it.

The Great Mutant Massacre!
Captain America, answering a classified ad seeking care for a mutant, arrives at the address and finds Magneto, there for the same purpose, and the two battle. They are interrupted by Joe Keegan, who placed that ad; he found the mutant and his friend while driving his truck and now would like to find a good home for the mutant. Joe opens his watch and shows them the mutant: a man mere centimeters tall with great mental powers, whom Joe has dubbed "Mister One." Magneto uses his power to jerk the watch and its occupant from Joe’s writs—but he is clobbered by the mutant’s friend and protector, a huge hulking character called Mister Two. After Mister One is safely recovered, Mister Two tosses Magneto out though the wall. The villain takes off, shouting threats and Cap turns Mister One and Mister Two over to SHIELD. They theorize that One is the brain and Two is the muscle, in a symbiotic relationship. The mutants become restless and want out; Two breaks out of his enclosure but is subdued by an electric shock. Meanwhile, Magneto assembles his new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants: Peeper (clairvoyant), Lifter (a strong guy), Burner (shoots fire), Slither (a snake-man), and Shocker (electric); their objective: capture Mister One. While Cap is out exercising with Mister Two, they are attacked by the Brotherhood. While Cap is trapped in Slither’s coils, Mister Two is overpowered but the sudden intervention of SHIELD agents drives the baddies off. Mister Two appears to be dead, except he isn’t—and when they return to the lab Cap discovers that Magneto took advantage of his men’s distraction to carry off Mister One. Cap then offers his theory that Mister One and Mister Two are the same person—a single consciousness able to switch between two bodies. Back at his hideout, Magneto reveals why Mister One was so important to his plans: he needed the tiny mutant to unlock the secrets of a miniature spacecraft he had found. One’s mind switches to Two, who, with the aid of Captain America, sets out to rescue his other half. The mutant and his heroic ally battle their way into Magneto’s lair against the Brotherhood, and Mister Two, enveloped in flames by Burner, shuts his body down and suffocates internally. A vengeful Cap confronts Magneto in his inner sanctum and the two duel. Mister One, without long to live after the death of Mister Two, throws the self-destruct switch in the alien craft. The resulting explosion levels the building with (apparently) only Cap and Magneto surviving.

Tess-One
Logan sits in a bar, trying his best to ignore a brawl behind him—in which a large man is being beaten by a gang because he is a mutant. The huge man, calling himself Bob Frank and denying that he is a mutant, defeats the roomful of foes and leaves. Logan follows him, changing into his Wolverine outfit on the way, wondering if this Bob Frank could be the man who was once the villain Nuklo. He follows silently at a distance until he hears a loud violent thump. Racing ahead he comes upon Bob Frank being beaten by a huge robot. Wolverine attacks the robot but is unable to inflict much damage before the machine jets off into the sky, forcing Wolvie to drop off.
Not far away, Captain America has been called to investigate a huge hole found in a small town parking lot. Two men who went down for a look have failed to return so Cap descends to search for them. He finds them in a vault full of gas and takes them to the surface to recover. Returning to the underground complex, Cap runs a gauntlet of deadly traps before finding a deserted lab with evidence that something large has recently left the place. Cap then heads off to find the property’s former owner, Schumann. On a nearby highway, a trucker is brought to a halt by the loss of power in his rig. Investigating, he is taken prisoner by a high-tech villain called Overrider who has the giant robot climb into the back of the truck before restoring the power. Overrider’s object: to gain entry to the Adametco Company’s factory. Meanwhile, Wolverine has dropped Bob Frank off at a hospital and is trailing the robot when he discovers cargo from the truck (thrown away to make room for the robot) by the side of the road, pointing him to Adametco, the nation’s leading manufacturer of adamantium. At the company, the trucker/hostage gets Overrider past security and is knocked out for his trouble. The villain has the robot, Tess, wreak enough havoc to scare the workers into fulfilling his demand to coat Tess with adamantium. Soon, the unconscious trucker wakes up and radios for help, and the message is passed along to Captain America. Cap arrives at the factory just as Wolverine climbs over the fence; when Cap tries to question him, Wolverine attacks. The fight is brief, quickly interrupted by the robot Tess bursting through the wall and assaulting both of them. Seeing his robot fighting the two heroes and security guards causes Overrider to panic but he manages to regain control of Tess and command her to fly off after him. Later Cap discover the identity of Schumann: he was the head of the WW2 Project: Tess (Total Elimination of Super-Soldiers) which was to create an army of robots programmed to destroy the super-soldiers should they get out of hand. When Captain America turned out to be the only successful super-soldier, Project: Tess was terminated. Meanwhile, Wolverine’s search of Cerebro points to Richard Rennselaer, a former SHIELD agent and father of a young son suffering from nuclear psychosis, as the most likely suspect for the Overrider.
At that moment, Rennselaer is in Nebraska heading toward Offut Air Force Base; a gas station attendant spies Tess in the back of his van and contacts Cap. Overrider has Tess cause a ruckus at the air base as a diversion while he heads further inside the complex. Cap and Logan arrive and do battle with the huge robot until they finally manage to knock it down and decapitate it, using Cap’s shield as a hammer and Wolverine’s claws as a wedge. Heading inside, they confront Overrider/Rennselaer who is planning to launch America’s entire nuclear arsenal into the sea, motivated by his son’s neurosis. Cap hurls his shield, knocking the misguided idealist off his flying disc and orders Wolverine to catch him, which he plans to do—with his claws unsheathed. At the last minute, Logan withdraws and Rennselaer crashes to the floor. As the medics tend to the critically injured villain, an angry Cap, misunderstanding Wolverine’s sudden act of mercy, orders him to go away. Later Logan visits Bob Frank in the hospital.

Denial
Captain America arrives at the White
House in answer to an invitation from President George W. Bush. After
some small talk, the President hands Cap a recently discovered top
secret file “to be opened in the event of Captain America's death.”
As he reads, Cap's thoughts go back to...
...the Invaders—Bucky Barnes,
Sub-Mariner, Human Torch, and Toro—were assaulting a Japanese
warship, battling the soldiers and disabling the ship with the goal
of recovering the enemy's secret invasion plans. They are unaware
that in a nearby submarine are the Red Skull and Warrior Woman; their
goal is to capture Subby and force him to reveal the location of
Atlantis. A cable shoots out, wrapping around Subby and delivering an
electrical charge; Cap leaps into action, diving underwater and
breaking the cable to free his ally but a second cable snakes out and
snares Cap, dragging him aboard the sub. WW is angry but the Skull is
happy to see his old foe...

The Red Skull has Cap whipped by
Warrior Woman while being filmed to create a propaganda message for
the USA, showing Cap begging for his life; Cap passes out before he
breaks. He is put in a cell next to a Russian couple arrested as
Soviet spies, Sergei and Karinna; Sergei attacks a guard and is
gunned down on the spot. Cap and Karinna are wary of one another,
each suspecting the other to be a Nazi plant.....
At that time President Franklin D.
Roosevelt was informed of Cap's capture and his advisers suggested
that should Cap die, the US could deny it, putting forth another man
in the costume; FDR balks at the idea. [And Cap reading this so many
years later is upset that he would be betrayed in this way.] Karinna
tells Cap that her country forgets their apprehended spies; Cap
claims that America will never do that and invites her to come to the
States with her. They escape from their cells and battle soldiers.
Warrior Woman captures Karinna and threatens to kill her unless Cap
reveals the location of Atlantis. The other Invaders arrive at this
point so Red Skull sets off a blinding flash of light and escapes
with WW....
Back in the present, President Bush
offers his thanks to Cap; it seems his father (former President
George H.W. Bush) was shot down in that battle and rescued, likely
because there were more American subs in the area searching for Cap.
Cap asks a favor...and soon a letter from the President arrives at
the home of Karinna Rose, retired and living in Montana....

Heritage of Hatred
The Red Skull narrates this tale: Part
One: Captain America crashes into the home of a Russian emigre where
the Red Skull is trying to steal a book with an iron lock—the diary
of the Commie Red Skull. Cap vanquishes the Skull's armored henchmen
and pursues the villain, grabbing on the the runners under the
villain's helicopter. The Skull pushes the pilot out and gets away as
Cap has to let go in order to rescue the pilot....
Part Two: In the waning days of World
War 2, Adolf Hitler entrusted the Red Skull with a box that held his
greatest achievements. At that time, Captain America, Spirit of '76,
and the Patriot parachute into Berlin to recover that very strongbox;
they are unexpectedly joined by the Red Guardian, hero of the Soviet
Union on the same mission for his country. They fight their way into
the bunker, with each one being sidelined by difficult battles until
it is only Cap versus the Red Skull. Allied bombers rain death on the
city and the building collapses and Cap sees the Skull and the box
buried, seemingly forever....
Part Three: While the Red Skull was in
suspended animation for several decades, the Russians sought the
strongbox, dispatching their own version of the Red Skull to retrieve
it. A spy reports that it is in the United Nations building in New
York, so the new Red Skull seized the building (as seen in YOUNG MEN
#24 in 1953) and was defeated by the 1950s Captain America and Bucky.
As a follow-up, the Skull went to the morgue and revived Cap's enemy
Electro (seen in CAP #78 in 1954), now with a fanatical desire for
vengeance against the heroes. While Cap and Bucky are occupied with
the mad electrical monster, the Skull finds the strongbox but
discovers it is a fake—but with directions to a German castle where
the authentic box resides. And now the real Red Skull has the diary
and discovers the whereabouts of Hitler's secrets....

Part Four: In the here and now, the Red
Skull heads to the castle and summons Captain America, intending this
to be their final confrontation. Cap arrives in a Quinjet and braves
all the tricks and traps of the castle to confront his archenemy. In
the ensuing battle, the building collapses and the Skull grabs the
strongbox and hijacks the Quinjet, with Cap hitching on the back. The
triumphant Skull opens the box—only to find that it contains not
the plans for a Nazi superweapon but Hitler's personal effects,
including the manuscript of Mein Kampf. Cap and the Skull
struggle and the villain plunges (again) to an apparent death but Cap
knows better....

The Shadows of the Past
In the Pacific Theater in the closing days of World War 2, the Invaders, on a mission to destroy a new solar-powered tank, battle a band of Japanese soldiers. Captain America—the Spirit of ’76, William Naslund, replacement for the original hero who is presumed dead with the first Bucky (hereafter Cap2)—is caught in the blast of the tank’s big gun and sinks into the darkness….
In 1954, the fourth Captain America (Cap4) and third Bucky crash into a garage to break up a gang of Commie spies in the Watts section of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the madness caused by their exposure to an imperfect Super-Soldier Serum prevents them from seeing that the enemies they are clobbering are merely a group of pals at a friendly card game. Suddenly Cap falters, questioning the morality of their actions. When he goes outside to clear his head, reality warps around him….
1982 (the present): Captain America—the original, revived Steve Rogers (Cap1)—comes upon his enemy the Scarecrow robbing a bank. Fighting off the villain’s trained crows he pursues the Scarecrow’s getaway car; Cap launches himself at the windshield—and vanishes….
After falling through darkness, Cap1 finds himself in a chamber face-to-face with Mister Buda; Cap2 and Cap4 are in glass cylinders to either side. When Cap1 demands to know why he was brought here and who the other Caps are, Buda replies in such enigmatic terms that another figure chooses to step forward to explain. It is the third Captain America, Jeff Mace, the former Patriot (Cap3). He recaps his history, regretting the fact that he was never able to match the heroism of his idol, Steve. He is now dying of cancer and Mister Buda has chosen to alter history to give Jeff a second chance to be a hero. What Buda has done though is rewrite the past so that Adam II and his race of androids conquered the world in 1946 and are crushing humanity under their heel. The four Captains America can step in to liberate the world all over again. Cap1 is disgusted that Jeff Mace would welcome this turn of events and that Buda would make it happen. The arrogant Buda simply tells Cap1 to accept the situation and learn the lessons offered; he then drops the four Captains into this dystopia he has created….
Cap2 (Spirit of ’76) and Cap4 (1950s) find themselves in a desert area where hulking android guards are herding captive humans along in chains. These humans were not suitable for refitting as cyborgs so they are being taken to a Reconversion Camp where their brain energies will be added to the master computer. The two Caps rush in and defeat the androids. Cap4 heads off to find the Reconversion Camp while Cap2 tries desperately to explain freedom to the liberated captives; the android guards recover and capture him. As Cap4 is reconnoitering the Camp he is met by a, agent from the human resistance—who turns out to be a traitor and leads Cap into a trap where he is taken prisoner….
Cap1 (Steve) and Cap3 (Patriot) find themselves in downtown Washington. The original hero is annoyed by the younger man’s enthusiasm about their mission. The duo run into the Invaders, who turn out to be cyborgs in service to Adam II. After a scuffle, Cap1 is knocked out by Bucky, and Cap3, losing heart, surrenders….
At Castle Computronex (on the former site of the White House), Cap1 and Cap3 are brought before the android autocrat Adam II. The villain explains that the two other Caps have already been converted into cyborgs and they are next. Cap1 stands up to him in defiance, shaming Cap3 into attacking Adam II who allows the combat to continue. As they fight, Cap3 grows stronger, staggering his android foe with his blows—but it is because he is draining the essence of the original Captain America. He is then faced with a decision: choose glory…or sacrifice. He chooses sacrifice, and as the life energy flows back into Cap1, he is easily beaten by Adam II. Cap2, though now a cyborg, is inspired by Cap2’s example and is able to overcome his programming to attack Adam II—but he is easily defeated as well. Adam II engages the original Cap in combat, hoping to destroy humankind’s greatest symbol; Cap responds that he is not a symbol, that when anyone chooses the path of sacrifice and heroism they becomes Captain America. The villain then zaps Cap with an electric ray—but Cap’s words had an effect: the two converted heroes turn their new enhanced powers against their master—and an ordinary man, Jeff Mace, delivers the killing blow with his shield. Cap1 and Cap3 materialize in the presence of Mister Buda, and he questions Jeff as to the outcome. Jeff is at last free of his inner demons and can go on with life, perhaps even beating the cancer. As they are returned to their own time, Cap1 recognizes that his replacement is truly a Captain America.

Full Court Press
There's a late-night break-in at the
United Nations building. While the operatives search for what they
want, a gray-skinned weirdo on the team goes mad and kills a guard,
spray-painting anarchist slogans on the walls. He is hustled out but
one burglar is caught. Daily Bugle reporters Sid Franken and Dan
Davis are sent to the arraignment and learn that the prisoner is Ken
Bradley of Brand Industries and sense there is more to this than a
simple burglary....
The next day, Franken and Davis learn
that Captain America has asked to see their notes, checking on a
suspicion he had. Cap deduces that the mystery weirdo is his old
enemy Flag-Smasher but something about him is very different. Franken
and Davis deduce from Cap's interest that this is more than a simple
burglary and go deeper. They learn that Brand Industries was in
charge of covert activities for Roxxon Oil Corporation....
At Roxxon, President Calvin Halderman
takes his burglars to task for allowing their mission to come to the
attention of the press. He takes the operatives to the cell where
Flag-Smasher is kept and has the villain injected with a drug that
turns him into a murderous psychopath—then he locks the failed
henchmen in....
When Bradley is being transferred to
another prison, Flag-Smasher appears on the scene, sent to
assassinate the luckless burglar—but Captain America is also on the
scene and Cap prevents the murder though a sudden fire emergency
allows the killer to escape....
Cap meets with Franken, encouraging him
in his reporting and dropping hints as to how the reporters can
proceed. Franken and Davis go to Roxxon to interview Calvin Halderman
but the big shot instead lectures them on corporations as the true
powers that be and dismisses them. But Kenneth Bradley goes on
record, telling Franken and Davis all about the corporate espionage
caper and Halderman's role in it. Then Bradley is killed in prison
and Cap warns them that the two Bugle reporters are next. J. Jonah
Jameson throws his support behind his reporters, so they resolve to
follow the story to the end. Halderman dispatches Flag-Smasher to
invade the Bugle offices via jetpack but Cap is waiting for him. The
battle concludes with Cap defeating his enemy. The revelation of
F-S's Roxxon connection forces Halderman to resign in disgrace—with
a generous financial package from the evil company. Franken and Davis
are disappointed but Cap encourages them to keep at the job of
uncovering the truth....

Infinite Destinies
Hector Bautista was a murderer on death row in Texas when the
Time Stone chose him and enabled his escape from prison. He had an altercation
with Wolverine and Loki and then vanished. Black Widow has now located him in
Texas, as the villain Overtime, and heads there with Captain America. They
trace Bautista to a barn where he explains that he wants to go back in time, to
prevent the murders of a pair of shopkeepers that he was on death row for.
While Cap has him distracted Black Widow tries to tase him but he is able to
manipulate time so that Cap gets tasered and he is gone. Bautista steals one of
their motorcycles and takes off with Cap and Natasha doubled up on the other
one. He tries to divert them by hurling a baby carriage high into the air. Cap
stops to catch it, discovering too late that the baby isn’t there. Nat catches
up to him and flips over his bike; the baddie is able to give himself a soft
landing so Nat shoots at him. Bautista turns the bullets around so that they
just miss Nat’s face and she falls from her bike; Cap hurls his shield, giving
her something safe to land on. And their quarry is gone….
Cap and Nat trace him to a clothing store where he is trying
to find a cover for his flashy costume and he again evades them, snatching
Cap’s shield. He wants the chance to prevent himself from committing murder and
if they won’t help him, he’ll find someone else with an Infinity Stone. He uses
the shield to tear a hole in a gasoline tanker, setting off an explosion. When
the smoke clears, he’s gone and Cap is worried now about what happens if he
finds more people with Infinity Stones….

Continued
from CAPTAIN AMERICA #750.

Captain America and Winter Soldier prepare to take on the Outer Circle:
Bucky
takes his place at the Circle’s table and announces they have come to the end
of the game. The Love concurs, noting that none of them have a chance, the
Revolution (Bucky) wins. And she withdraws….
Captain
America, Destroyer (Sharon Carter) and the new Nomad (Redacted) dive into the

portal opens and Nomad (Ian Rogers) emerges, leading an army of werewolves….
The
Machine abandons her “meatspace” body and returns to her consciousness in a
giant one-eyed, tentacled machine. She confronts Cap, referring to her rebel
son, Daniel Agboje, creator of the shield, and announces she will destroy the
place with Cap in it. Cap hurls the shield, shattering the great glass eye, and
it shuts her down, with a message from her son, “Hello, Mother, and Goodbye.”

America the Beautiful
Captain America arrives on the beach in Normandy, France, in response to an urgent summons he had requested decades earlier. French workers were excavating a tunnel dynamited by the Germans during the War and found it larger than expected. Cap is directed to an access tunnel where he pauses to collect himself before entering. Inside a utility room he finds the skeleton of an American soldier, Private Bobby Shaw of Pasadena, Texas. He says a prayer and arranges for the body to be returned to the United States for burial to fulfill a promise he made sixty years ago. A soldier asks who Shaw was that Captain America requested to recover his body personally; Cap replies, "He was me."
Flashback to Fort Lehigh in 1941: Private Bobby "Shrimpie" Shaw was the company screw-up, unable to handle the rigors of training or to remember the steps in the various drills. Steve Rogers, secretly Captain America, tried to help Bobby any way he could but that frequently resulted in Steve sharing Bobby’s punishment. One night as they are assigned to KP duty together, Bobby shares his dream of buying a home near a body of water where he can settle down with a beautiful girl…. As the war progresses, Captain America serves his country with acts of heroism, while keeping tabs on Bobby Shaw. In Sicily, Cap is with the Infantry when they are pinned down by enemy fire. Shaw is missing and is soon spotted cowering in fear on the other side of the street. Cap braves a hail of German bullets to reach Bobby and encourage him to do what’s right; he heads back across the street…but the terrified Bobby remains where he is….
In the present, Cap takes Bobby’s last letter home to his mother (now deceased) from the dead man’s pocket and, in a brief ceremony, he announces a posthumous promotion and presents a Purple Heart to the skeleton. The confused soldier again questions Cap who explains that Bobby Shaw was the worst soldier in the history of the United States but the bravest man Cap ever knew….
Flashback: Cap arranged for Bobby to be transferred to The Big Red One, where he was sent to England to await the invasion. There, he covered his shyness about talking to women by claiming he had a more beautiful girl back home…. Cap has Bobby assigned to be at his side as the US Army storms Omaha Beach on D-Day. At the last minute, Bobby confesses that he can’t swim so Cap has to make sure the hapless GI makes it to the beach without drowning as well as being shot. Cap leaves the terrified Bobby cowering in a shelter and heads on to his main mission. Soldiers are pinned down by enemy fire and Cap has to clear the way for them to reach the cliff base. The Living Legend pushes through the hail of bullets to reach some men in a foxhole but discovers the field telephone has been broken. He turns and sees Bobby Shaw following him; the young soldier blindly ran after Cap and couldn’t stop. From their position they see an access tunnel in the cliff. Cap sends Bobby back to inform the rest of the unit while he goes on ahead to battle guards. The soldiers reach the tunnel and enter in the face of gunfire. They discover the tunnel is mined as the commander is killed. Panicking, Bobby hides in a utility room; Cap orders him to try to reach the enemy position from the flank but Bobby is too scared. A German hurls a grenade at the Americans and rushes forward and kicks the bomb away but he is critically injured by the explosion. Cap carries the wounded Bobby to the utility room and promises to come back for him but Bobby knows this is the end…. Cap hustles the other GIs out of the tunnel just moments before the explosives detonate….
At a memorial service for Bobby Shaw attended by military personnel and superheroes, Cap pays tribute to the fallen hero, who died that others might live free. Of all the heroes he’s known, Bobby was the bravest, he then drops Bobby’s dog tags into the water—the water he’d always dreamed of, beside the most beautiful girl, the Statue of Liberty….

A Brother in Arms
March 25, 1945, Captain America leads a mission of paratroopers from the 2nd Ranger Battalion on a perilous mission: to drop inside Germany and secure a dam, holding it against the enemy until reinforcements arrive. Landing near the dam, several Rangers are assigned to dismantle the bombs placed by the Germans to destroy the structure should it be threatened, while others undertake to capture the guards’ pillbox. Corporal Molodec’s team is spotted by a guard and an alarm is sounded. Losing the element of surprise, Cap leads the assault on the pillbox, bringing a soldier close enough to toss a grenade inside. Molodec and others open fire on fleeing Germans, with some American casualties as well. Inside the pillbox is the sole surviving German soldier who surrenders. An angry Molodec wants to shoot him down but is stopped by Captain America who reminds him of the Geneva Convention rules regarding prisoners. Cap questions the prisoner, Klaus Hartmann, regular army, not a Nazi, and advises him to comply with the rules as well for his own safety. Word of German reinforcements comes and Cap leaves Molodec to guard the prisoner while he leads the Rangers against the oncoming tanks. Cap’s agility allows the Americans to capture one of the tanks then maneuver it to destroy the other tank. The Rangers then discover that the German reinforcements are Waffen-SS and know they will be in for a fight. Capt meets with the Nazi leader, Hermann Veitel, under a flag of truce to arrange for turning the wounded Hartmann over to his own people. Veitel refuses and orders his troops to fire on Cap. The Living Legend exerts all his speed to make it back to the American emplacement under covering fire by the Rangers. Word then comes that the American armored regiment has been held up and will not be able to relieve them soon. Hartmann apologizes to Captain America for the Nazi Veitel, expressing despair at how his country was so easily deceived by Hitler and his thugs. As Hartmann has some medical training, Cap releases him (over Molodec’s protests) to help treat the American wounded. The Nazis attack and press the assault through the night; Hartmann proves himself a hero by saving the lives of several wounded—and then collapses from his own injuries. Meanwhile in the German camp, the Heer (Army) Commander, Leutnant Hruber, arrives and berates Veitel for refusing to accept the return of a wounded soldier and for firing on an American officer under a flag of truce. Hruber heads to the American line and negotiates the return of Hartmann, who salutes Captain America as he leaves. On their way back to the German side, Hruber and Hartmann are shot down on orders from Veitel. Over the next few days, the Americans hold off German assaults until the armored regiments arrives. Cap leads only fourteen survivors; Veitel and several of his men are taken prisoner—and Corporal Molodec is last seen kneeling by the body of Klaus Hartmann.

America First!
1955: In a small Midwestern town, a pair of crooks rob a bank and gun down the sheriff. Suddenly Captain America appears and battles the thugs, but a black-clad woman in the crowd draws a gun and shoots Cap in the back. We discover that this is a training exercise in Russia, in a duplicate American small town, with Soviet agents playing the roles under the supervision of Natasha Romanova, the Black Widow.
In America at this time, Senator Joe McMurphy is delivering a fiery speech denouncing the evils of Communism and the American leaders who think they can negotiate with the Soviet Union. The real Captain America muses on the wisdom of McMurphy’s views while clobbering a gang of Commie spies. This Cap is not the original Steve Rogers, however, but a patriot who discovered the Super-Soldier Serum and volunteered to become the new Steve Rogers—and the new Captain America. CIA Agent Nick Fury is called before McMurphy’s Senate Committee and asked to give the names of men in the government he knows to have Communist leanings; Fury refuses, since he served with those men in the War and their service gives them the right to vote as they please. Later on TV, the news reports that German scientist Dieter Prochnow is offering a Nazi weapon to the highest bidder. Both the Americans and the Soviets are suspicious but neither can afford to ignore the possibility that it’s true.
Cap gives an interview to TV newsman Ed Murtaugh in which he endorses McMurphy’s patriotism but questions his tactics, saying that the Senator’s harassment of Nick Fury and other solid American is merely doing the Soviets’ work for them. The angry McMurphy retaliates by smearing Cap as a Communist in the media. That night, McMurphy’s aide Ray Khan cuts a secret deal with Prochnow for the weapon. Also that night, Steve Rogers breaks into McMurphy’s home and discovers a secret room full of proof that McMurphy is really a Russian spy. As Cap he reveals this info to Nick Fury, but Fury does not believe him—and finds him a poor substitute for the real Steve Rogers. Cap rushes to the airport where he manages to capture Khan but McMurphy gets away in his plane, having duped the US into paying a high price for the superweapon then stealing it for his Soviet masters. Cap parachute-drops atop the Senator’s jet and makes his way inside where he battles the villain’s henchmen. Cap recovers the briefcase with the weapon plans but McMurphy escapes by parachute.
Captain America is honored at a reception by President Eisenhower and later joins Nick Fury for a meeting with Natasha Romanova, the Black Widow. She wants to defect to the USA and offers McMurphy as a prize….
In the Russian "Midwestern town" used for training purposes, McMurphy is describing the delights of American life (women, the weather, women, Chinese food, women, etc.) to a new undercover agent, when Captain America comes up behind him, punches him out, and takes him back to the US for trial.

Gabe Jones, the lone African-American member of Sgt. Fury’s Howling Commandos, relates how the team first met Captain America during a raid on a Nazi base. They were bemused by his colorful appearance but Jones was impressed by Cap’s seeming lack of prejudice toward him.
Meanwhile in Berlin, Adolf Hitler presides over a meeting of officers, complaining about the setback to the German missile program by the Howlers’ interference. His goal is to have a missile that can reach Washington D.C.; a scientist reveals that such can be possible by the use of a rare metal—Vibranium—which can be found only in the African nation of Wakanda. Baron Strucker is ordered to lead the mission to obtain the metal.
Captain America, with the Howling Commandos as his backup, is sent to Wakanda to investigate the Nazi mission. Landing by parachute he encounters the heads of a squad of Nazis mounted on stakes. The Black Panther appears and tells Cap he can go home. When Cap tries to question the Panther, he is suddenly surrounded by native warriors; the Howlers, watching from a distance decide to wait and see what happens. The Panther tells Captain America his country wants nothing to do with this outside conflict; when Cap objects, the two fight. Meanwhile, the Howlers are captured by other Wakandan warriors. In the Nazi camp, Baron Strucker, is relieved of command by his superior: the Red Skull….

Sergeant Fury and the Howling Commandos are treated to a fine dinner and entertainment at the royal palace of Wakanda while Captain America confers with King T’Chaka. The King is willing to cooperate with the Americans in combating the Nazi menace so long as his nation maintains its sovereignty. Fury, however, does not trust him and assigns Gabe Jones to spy on the Africans. Meanwhile, T’Chaka startles Cap by revealing he knows Cap’s true identity, thanks to his nation’s vast spy network. An optimistic Cap sees the defeat of the Nazis as the beginning of the end of racism in his country but T’Chaka warns of America’s seeking an enemy within….
In the Nazi camp, the Red Skull orders a single regiment to assault the capital (countermanding Baron Strucker’s request for six). When the attack comes, Fury and the Howlers find themselves locked up, and suspicious of the reason that it’s for their own safety. Wakandan technology provides the defense: a huge device sends a jamming signal that causes the Nazi weapons to explode. Captain America and the Black Panther, backed by T’Chaka’s warrior-wives, take the battle to the enemy, while the King’s young son T’Challa, desiring to join in the fray, is kept safe inside the palace. When the battle ends, Fury and his men are released—to help clean up the corpses.
In private, Steve asks why Wakanda will not join the Allies. T’Chaka explains that their isolationist policy assures the rest of the world that his nation harbors no imperialist ambitions and asks whether Steve can maintain his American ideals in the face of what is to follow….
In the Nazi camp, the Red Skull reveals to Strucker that the attack was merely a reconnaissance mission, to gauge the enemy’s strength and make them overconfident. His real plan involves the Nazi super-soldiers: Master Man, Warrior Woman, and Tiger Man, and will end in success in twenty-four hours….

As Black Panther’s plane crashes into the mine where Master Man is wreaking havoc, Gabe Jones manages to flee down a tunnel just ahead of the resultant fireball. In a place of safety he discovers, and pockets, a small piece of Vibranium….
At the Nazi camp, Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos are barely able to withstand the attack of the Red Skull in his armored suit….
Climbing a ladder at the end of the tunnel, Gabe finds himself in the palace courtyard where Armless Tiger Man has the young prince T’Challa at his mercy. The unseen Gabe fires a shot hitting the villain in the forehead. As the Queen praises him for his talent, Captain America arrives to tell Gabe the Howlers are in trouble….
At the mine, the Panther (actually a warrior named Azzuri) leaps on Master Man, pressing a caustic substance into his face until he is dead. He is then assaulted by Warrior Woman, and gives her the same treatment….
Fury and the Howlers dodge the armored Red Skull by hiding among nearby trees and race back to the camp to enter the tent of Baron Strucker and try to take him hostage. The Skull appears, however, tearing apart the tent and opening fire with his machine guns….
En route to the Nazi camp, Black Panther offers Gabe citizenship in Wakanda as a reward for his honorable behavior. Gabe, remembering his stolen Vibranium, asks for time to think about it….
In the camp, as Fury is fighting Strucker in a hand-to-hand duel and the Red Skull is pursuing the other Howlers, the Skull suddenly pauses, gazing into the sky. Fury looks up to see…Captain America and the Black Panther dropping into combat. The two heroes engage with the armored villain, who withstands their attacks, even crushing Cap’s shield. Panther passes Cap his round wooden shield and Cap hurls it, piercing the circuitry on the front of the Skull’s armor, sending paralyzing shocks through him. Strucker surrenders and the Black Panther gives him a warning to take back to Hitler that any further Nazi encroachments on Wakanda will result in their invasion of Germany. Cap thanks the Panther for his help and says the native shield has given him an idea for his next one. As the Americans prepare to leave for home, Gabe tells the Panther he is declining the offer of citizenship, citing his loyalty to the United States; he also has an eerie feeling that the Panther knows about his stolen piece of Vibranium. On the flight home, Gabe tells Fury he was unsuccessful in obtaining a piece of Vibranium.
Back in the States, Fury reports to his superiors that Captain America is a superb fighting man but because of his unwillingness to betray his allies (the secret mission proposed in the previous issue) Cap should be teamed with a partner willing to do the dirty work. In the end both the Black Panther and Captain America (with a new round shield) think fondly of their new overseas friends.

For Victory...Again!
Baron Helmut Zemo has taken over the
Amazon jungle area first controlled by his late father and is forcing
the natives to dig as slaves for a mysterious device buried by the
elder Zemo. His sidekick Techno, bored with the place, reconfigures
himself into a digging machine and quickly unearths the box which
contains “Particle X” which, when fired in a rocket, will disrupt
all communications on earth....
Captain America arrives in the jungle,
alerted by SHIELD tracking to new activity in Zemo's old
headquarters. He encounters Citizen V, leader of the native rebellion
against Zemo, and assumes he is Zemo (his Thunderbolts identity) and
they fight. Cap quickly catches on that this is a different person
and it takes a few minutes to sort out that this V is a good guy. V
asks about Particle X and Cap recalls an incident from the War....
The original Baron Zemo was preparing
to launch a rocket with Particle X to destroy Allied communications
systems when the original Citizen V showed Cap and Bucky Barnes a secret way
into the castle. While Cap and Bucky fought the guards as a
diversion, V confronted Zemo in his lair. The rocket was sabotaged
but Zemo got away. This V relates how Zemo eventually killed Citizen
V but not before he had fathered a child with his girlfriend
Paulette Brazee, and now it is revealed that this new Citizen V is
the original's granddaughter. So again, Cap battles the guards
to provide a distraction while Citizen V tries to sabotage the
rocket. This time V is caught by Techno and Cap comes to the rescue.
Cap fights Zemo and Techno and as the rocket is launched V jumps
aboard (recalling Bucky's death) and is able to turn the rocket back
to its launching pad. Cap electrocutes Techno and evacuates the
compound as the rocket crashes and burns—and Citizen V comes
floating down on glider wings concealed in her cape. The two heroes
congratulate each other....
Epilogue: Baron Zemo and Techno meet
again at their secret base—close to the one that was just
destroyed—and Zemo continues to plot his villainous activities....
