Captain America struggles against the
soldiers of the Hate Monger, trying to reach the rocket launchers
primed with deadly anthrax and each with a hostage (Falcon, General
Groves) chained to the front. Cap fights his way through the troops
and goes toe-to-toe with the Hate Monger. He forces the villain's arm
holding his shield under the rocket's exhaust until the swastika is
burned off, then the missiles launch. Cap hurls his shield so that it
breaks Falcon's chains, releasing him and the winged hero takes over
from there. He removes the anthrax payloads and frees General Groves,
carrying him safely to the ground. As Nick Fury mixes it up with the
villain's troops, Cap grabs a motorcycle and pursues the Hate Monger,
escaping in a jeep. Cap overturns the jeep, takes down the villain's
driver, and sees the Hate Monger leap from a cliff into a river. Cap
dives in after him but discovers only empty robes, the villain having
escaped. SHIELD soon arrives to mop up the operation and Fury sets
fire to the Nazi flag....
