[edit] Plot synopsis
[edit] Issues #1- 4: "Two Americas"
The first issue opens in the middle of a crisis. The Falcon has broken Leila Davis, an American journalist he has a past relationship with, out of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. A figure the reader later learns to be the "Anti-Cap" is in Cuba searching for the Falcon. He eventually finds him, taking shelter in the compound of the Rivas Family, an infamous drug cartel. While this is happening, Captain America attempts to find out why Leila Davis was arrested. Not finding any answers, he journies to Cuba to help his partner.[1]
Having captured Leila Davis and the Falcon, the "Anti-Cap" steals a cargo plane from the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and begins to fly it back to the United States. Somewhere over the Straits of Florida this plane collides with the plane that has Captain America aboard. The occupents of the two planes escape unharmed and make thier way back to dry land. The Falcon, Leila Davis and the "Anti-Cap" end up in Florida. Captain America finds himself in Cuba where he rendezvous with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Ali Morales. She gives him all of S.H. I.E.L.D.'s known information on the "Anti-Cap".[2]
The "Anti-Cap" is found washed up in Miami Beach by two rescue workers. He kills them and takes their vehicle. In Cuba, Captain America and Agent Morales journey to the Rivas Family compound. There they discover what Leila Davis found and what caused her to be locked up in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp taped to the back of the Falcon's Avengers ID and hidden behind a toilet. Its true nature isn't revealed to the reader, but it is described as "World War III in a pocket." It is also mentioned that "by itself, its harmless." The Captain and Agent Morales then fly to Miami. In Miami, the Falcon and Leila take refuge with some of the Falcon's old gang associates. The "Anti-Cap" quickly finds them and attacks. Just as he is about to kill the Falcon, Captain America rushes in to save his partner.[3]
