Synopsis:
Steve Rogers and Bernie Rosenthal enjoy an evening of big band music and carriage rides, until an explosion rocks the building next door. Steve responds as Captain America, saving the building's residents, but is caught by falling debris. A firefighter, Sam Douglas, is killed rescuing Cap. Later, Blockbuster, the arsonist responsible for the explosion, reports to Harry, a land developer who hired him to torch the building so he could buy the property cheap. Meanwhile, Steve, Josh, Bernie and Anna try to cheer up Mike, who knew Sam. The next night Captain America and the police patrol the neighborhood, looking for the arsonist. Blockbuster suddenly attacks Cap. During their battle Cap manages to disable Blockbuster's fire-suit and strip him of it, but Blockbuster pulls a gun on Cap. Mike's arriving fire squad disables Blockbuster with a fire hose. The police arrest Blockbuster, planning to use the pending murder charge as leverage for his boss' identity. Days later, the Daily Bugle reports on Harry's arrest.

Synopsis:
Steve Rogers spends a night on the town with Sam Wilson and Josh Cooper. The trio happens across a mugging, so Josh gets the police. When Josh returns, Steve and Sam have already defeated the muggers but the police warn them to let the authorities handle it next time. The next day, Captain America and Falcon report to Avengers Mansion. They learn that Galactic Films is filming a new Captain America movie and that a new Nomad is patrolling the streets of Los Angeles. Cap visits Galactic Films as an excuse to investigate Nomad, only to be confronted by the Nihilist Order. Nomad intervenes and upstages Cap. Elsewhere, the mysterious Teacher confers with Ameridroid and prepares for his battle with Cap. At a studio press conference, a reporter reveals herself as a Nihilist Order agent. Cap tries to stop her and her accomplices, but Nomad's upstaging gets in the way. Cap thanks Nomad anyway. Later, Nomad is punished by his secret mentor and employer Teacher for failing to discredit Captain America.

-Even though he vows to never do this again, Captain America is visibly intoxicated this issue. This led to some controversy from reader's and fans at the time. In modern continuity, Captain America states that the Super Soldier Serum in his body prevents him from getting drunk. This editor would surmise that any enhanced individual could put enough poison/alcohol in their system to eventually affect their perfomance, i.e. previous incidents with Carol Danvers and Hercules.

Synopsis:
Red Skull uses a remote control to have Ameridroid attack Captain America. During their battle, Cap is able to get through to Dekker's human side, helping him overcome the Skull's control. Dekker attacks Red Skull, but is overpowered by the Skull's force field. Cap follows up the attack, discovering Skull was a robot. Meanwhile, Nomad's body is taken by paramedics and Will Brynner is arrested. The police have proof he's been working with the Nihilist Order. Cap follows the Skull's lead to Democracy Pictures, and battles an army of Nihilist Order agents. Meanwhile, Lenny learns the Cap movie is canceled, to be replaced with a documentary that will air tonight. Cap eventually finds himself in the Galactic Films' owner's office, where the Skull waits. Red Skull reveals that by discrediting Cap, then exposing his own anti-Cap scheme to the media, he was able to guarantee everyone in the country would watch his pre-made Cap documentary laced with hypnotic suggestions that will induce a violent frenzy. Dekker bursts into the office and attacks the Skull, apparently destroying himself, the Skull and Galactic Studios in the process. Cap seizes the documentary before it can air and burns it.

In a remote hotel, four people are hooked into strange machinery. Meanwhile, Captain America finds himself in various confusing scenarios, including working for President John F Kennedy, Bucky leading the Avengers, Sam Wilson as a shoe-shiner, himself as a child at a carnival, and Nazis parading around captive Jews, blacks, and mutants. Cap attacks the Nazis and finds a message calling him to the Waldheim hotel. Meanwhile, Morgan MacNeil Hardy adjusts his machine, a Telepathy Augmenter, not understanding why the four people hooked into it keep changing reality from what he wants. Cap travels to the hotel, battling as a child through Klu Klux Klan members to find Hardy has hooked himself into the machine to stabilize reality. Cap challenges Hardy, asking whose morals are correct: the racist, the Nazi supporter or the child who wants to play? In response, Hardy tries to erase Cap from reality. The machine overloads and kills Hardy along with two of the subjects hooked into it.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man's attackers pull him through the wall. He's greeted by Nick Fury, who enlists Spider-Man's help to track down Cap. SULTAN reveals himself to Cap, explaining that when he was fired from SHIELD he turned himself into a cyborg and began his quest for revenge against America, starting with Washington DC's destruction. Fury and Spider-Man are captured and brought to SULTAN, but launch a counter-offensive with Cap. SULTAN launches a nuclear rocket, so Fury grapples onto it. When Spider-Man and Cap follow they discover SULTAN's base is really a flying island and plummet to their doom.

When Captain America addresses a high school assembly, a student ridicules Cap's "false" American dream and tries to assassinate him. Cap quickly subdues the student, but even a date later with Bernie Rosenthal can't get the confrontation off his mind. In Hell Kitchen Everyman preaches to his followers and plots Cap's destruction. Later, while Cap befriends some neighborhood kids, Everyman contacts the press. As Cap shows the kids around Avengers Mansion, he's appalled by a news report on Everyman. Meanwhile, Maggie, one of Everyman's followers, asks why violence is a necessary part of his movement. Instead of answering, Everyman talks about his father. That night on Liberty Island, Cap easily defeats Everyman. Everyman desperately takes Maggie hostage and declares he'll kill her, despite having gained the fame he craves by spitting on Cap in front of the press. Cap distracts Everyman, saves Maggie, and defeats Everyman again. Maggie tells Cap that Everyman's view represents despair, but Cap's view represents helping people out of despair. She decides she likes Cap's view better.

Synopsis:
Kyle Richmond, Gargoyle, Valkyrie and Hellcat of the Defenders have been captured by August Masters and his minions who have been manipulating psychics for their own goals.
While in Brooklyn, Steve Rogers is walking Bernie Rosenthal back to her car after they watched the latest Indiana Jones movie. As Steve critiques the movies less than noble main character, he is silently recognized by a man passing by on the street. As they enter the car Bernie expresses that she is in love with Steve and when Steve finds he cannot say it back to her, mostly because he hasn't given much thought about his feelings for her, it ruins their date and Bernie angrily asks Steve to drive her home.
Back at his apartment that he shares with Bernie, Steve tries to get to work on his latest work assignment but can't keep his mind off sorting through his feelings for Bernie. He is suddenly jolted by a mental attack that attracts the attention of Bernie and his roommate Josh. Brushing it off he shoos them away so that he can go into action of Captain America. Realizing that it was a mental cry from help from the telepaths and former American Dreamers Ursula Richards and Phillip Leguin, Captain America rushes to their home as he recalls his previous encounter with them. He arrives too late and is given another mental flash showing men loading the unconscious telepaths into a truck.
Unable to track down the truck Captain America decides to make use of his connections at SHIELD where Dum Dum Dugan supervises the use of a mental probing device that will sort through the mental flashes given to Cap in the hopes of learning where Ursula and Phillip had been taken. Although the machine is overloaded the location is clear: A sleepy town in the mountains of Colorado.
Back in the base of August Masters, Masters explains to the helpless Richmond that while his organization is not affiliated with the government all it's members are "true patriots" who seek to protect America's best interests. He takes him to see Mindy who is in pain due to the probing of their machines. Kyle, now mobile goes to her side and pulls her free. When Kyle demands some answers on what they are planning he is shocked to learn that Masters is hoping to orchestrate World War III.
Meanwhile, Captain America puts on a disguise and rolls into the town and posing as a scientist researching strange UFO activity in the area gets a lift into the mountains to see the location of supposed "weird happenings" by one of the locals. Sure enough the man is one of Master's men and he brings Cap right to the mouth of their base where he is confronted by some of Master's guards. Cap removes his disguise and easily dispatches of the guards and fights his way into the complex. However he finds himself confronted by Masters and his guards who have their guns on him, forcing him to surrender.
Elsewhere in the complex, Ursula and Phillip use their powers to revive Hellcat, Valkyrie and the Gargoyle who break out of their cell. While this is happening Captain America is being shown through the complex and Masters explains to Cap his plans: using the capture psychics, he intends to use them to launch a mental assault that will destroy all of Russia so that America's enemies might be rushed. Finding such a plan to be disgusting, Cap calls Masters a lunatic and attacks. Just then the alarm goes off warning August of the Defenders escape. Although the heroes manage to free Mindy, Ursula and Phillip and try to make a break for it, August forces them to retreat when he tells them that he's activated the bases self destruct and that only he can shut it down. With no other choice they surrender over to Masters and are all locked up. Leaving Kyle free, the former Nighthawk wonders how he can contact Dr. Strange and get help. Picking up his thought Mindy sends out a mental call for help out to Dr. Strange.

Synopsis:
As Captain America drives through Manhattan late at night in answer to a call from Falcon, a bystander alerts the hero to a taxi driver with a slashed throat. After getting the injured man medical attention, Cap goes to Harlem Community Hospital where Sam and his family are waiting for word on Sam's nephew Jim Wilson, shot while trying to prevent a liquor store robbery. A frustrated Sam storms off angrily, and later, patrolling as the Falcon, rescues a stoned gang member, Raymond Curtis, from some homicidal pursuers. Meanwhile, a robed man attacks Cap, clawing him and sending an army of rats after him. Disrobing to reveal a rat-like visage, the attacker identifies himself as Vermin, and announces his master wants Captain America dead. Following Raymond home, Falcon discovers the boy was Jim's shooter, while Cap beats Vermin unconscious following a particularly savage battle; rage almost drives both heroes over the edge, but they come to their senses in time. The next day, after hearing that Jim will recover, Sam announces that he will take the school board up on their offer to run for congress.
