"The Strange Death of Captain America"

Writer Stan Lee, Artist Steranko, Inker Palmer (neither has first names mentioned)

It starts with a tv reporter down by the docks. They have found a suit of Captain America gear there with a Steve Rogers mask nearby. It turns out that Cap is not Steve and Hydra is to blame/take credit for? Madame Hydra reveals that she is from eastern Europe and lived a hard life after her parents die and her face is scarred. SHe then comes on Baron Strucker and he brings her into Hydra. When she dies, she kills the command staff and assumes command. Proud of what she does she has a solemn ceremony and burns Caps dossier.

Cut to Avengers mansion. Rick comes in tearful, Thor asks him to debrief the team but he can't. The Visions says the Rick must be overcome with grief. They head to a funeral parlor to hold a service for the fallen hero using a dummy as a stand in. Halfway through it Fury finds a card that when moved triggers a gas trap than knocks the SHIELD people and Avengers out (Isn't the Vision and android?) and they are taken prisoner by Hydra. Madame Hydra has decided to kill them off as a final judgment. Rick sensing something wrong heads to the funeral parlor and finds that the victims are being hauled away in boxes. he hides in a truck and follows them. Meanwhile a man stands on the corner watching.

When Jones gets to the graveyard he sneaks around and sees that Hydra is digging holes to bury the heroes (How will that stop Thor?) and decides to get help when he gets caught by a good. He tries to get away but then comes a voice! Cap is not dead. He fights his way to Rick, tells the boy to grab a gun and run. When the two get close enough he tells Jones to shoot the tank and blow up the motorcycle killing many Hydra soldiers. Madame Hydra sees them and has he troops fire on Cap to kill him and he defeats them. Sensing she has lost and it is her fault she resigns to die, and take Cap and Jones with her. She fires heat seeking missiles she just happened to have laying about. Cap and Rick duck into a grave and the missiles hit a monument and blow up killing Madame Hydra (for now). Once it is over Cap tells Rick he set it up so he could get back his secret id, everything didn't matter like the assault on his friend, the destruction of property and the deaths of many people. Good thing he freed the Avengers before he he left, no wait he didn't. Hope they dig themselves out.
