Captain America may have brought in the Red Skull at long last, but this only serves to ignite the next phase of the Skull's plan. The daring jailbreak is merely the beginning, as Skull awakens the "Sleepers", Humongous Mecha hidden all over the place for decades, finally rising to exact his vengeance. There's only one real lead our heroes have — the Winter Soldier, who's been hunting the Sleepers down on his own terms, but will he learn to cooperate with our heroes... before it's too late?
Tropes:
- And This Is for...: We see Cap lose it for the first time when he finally gets to crack the Skull.
- Bowdlerise: For obvious reasons, the line "Who the hell is Bucky?" was trimmed to, "Who's Bucky?"
- The Bus Came Back: It's the first time we see the Vision on active Avenger duty.
- Hannibal Lecture: Red Skull, complete with the cell and the Institutional Apparel.
- Humongous Mecha: HYDRA's new toy. Unlike a lot of mecha we've seen, it proves Awesome, but Impractical. Until they're revealed to be Combining Mecha.
- Mythology Gag: Red Skull's prison uniform resembles his original costume minus a certain symbol.
- The Reveal: "Who's Bucky?"
- "10-4, Cap. Bucky out."
